Ditto Jim West on Google Wave
This morning Jim West posted his evaluation of Google Wave up until this point. All I can say is I feel about the same. I have not found it very useful yet. That is not to say that it won’t be better in the future. Jim puts it more eloquently than I could. By the…

Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock App Could be Life-Changing
I was a bit surprised when my former college roommate told me that there was an app for the iPhone that would be worth the price of the phone even if it was the only app available. He proceeded to tell me about the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock app (developer site HERE). Now a bit…

Endogamy and Exogamy
Today was the first time that the dictionary on my Kindle came in handy. I was reading Niditch’s War in the Hebrew Bible: A Study in the Ethics of Violence and came across the words “endogamy” and “exogamy.” Should have been able to figure those out based on prefixes and root, but it was early. …

Daily Hebrew and Greek in BibleWorks 8
Probably the feature that I was most excited about when I found out I would have the opportunity to review BibleWorks 8 was the Bagster’s Daily Light feature, which allows this resource to be viewed in the language of one’s choosing whether, English, Greek/Hebrew, or otherwise. I run my website and blog related to the…

BibleWorks 8 Functionality on My Mac
Perhaps the first thing on many people’s minds when they see me reviewing BibleWorks 8 is “Isn’t BibleWorks a Windows program? And, aren’t you a Mac user?” The answer to both questions is “yes.” However, programs for running a Windows OS and Windows programs on a Mac have come a very long way with offerings…
