These are a few interesting and geeky finds that I have discovered around the web in the past few days.

Klingon

Bing Translates Klingon

I’m not really a trekie but there are few things any more geeky than a good old Klingon translation. And now Bing has gotten into the act by adding Klingon to their web translation tools. You can check out your favorite sites by visiting the Bing Translator. Or if you are feeling even more adventurous just watch as ChristianDroid is transformed into the 24th century when you click here.

Breakout

If you are as old as I am then I know you will remember the old Atari Breakout game. I remember going to the Sears & Roebuck store and being fascinated by Pong when it was introduced and Breakout just took things to a whole new level of entertainment. Google is celebrating the creation of this video game legend with its very own search game. Just go to Google and type in Atari Breakout, then click on the image search and sit back and play a cool little game of Breakout. Or if you can’t wait to play, just click here.

Google I/O

The Google I/O conference starts today, for those of you who are not geeks, the Google I/O conference is the annual Everything Google Event. To celebrate this years conference, Google has hidden some Easter Eggs into its I/O website. Go to the Google I/O page and type or click the I and O in the following patterns to see the different I/O font schemes.

FaithVillage Bookstore

FaithVillage Bookstore Opens

April 4, 2013 — Leave a comment

FaithVillage Bookstore OpensIt has been a little over a year since I introduced you to the new online community for believers, FaithVillage. Over the past year the village has continued to grow and thrive as more and more people have moved in and made themselves at home in FaithVillage. Over the past 14 months I have spent quite a bit of time in this new community discovering new Christian writers, exploring different opinions and views, keeping up with the latest news and trends in Christianity, as well as making a few new friends.

As this community enters its second year, FaithVillage has once again decided to expand its borders, this time with the addition of the all new FaithVillage Bookstore. Opening last week, the FaithVillage Bookstore contains over 200,000 Christian titles, all available for your online shopping pleasure. And with plans to expand their book and music selections even further, FaithVillage Bookstore is poised to become the one stop shop for all of your Christian reading needs.

So what makes the bookstore at FaithVillage different from all of the other online retailers that you have to choose from? The answer is simple, it is the community! There is no other place where you can discover so many different Christian writers all in one place. And their community of contributors gives FaithVillage Bookstore an added advantage that you will not find anywhere else.

Thank You Evite

Evite Someone To Church Today

January 15, 2013 — Leave a comment

How many times have you had the best intentions of inviting someone to church, only to put off making that phone call or contact until you finally give up on the idea. Or when was the last time that you dropped someone a note and let them know that they had been missed at church. Do you regularly tell people that you appreciate the work that they are doing for the Lord?

Now ChurchInviter.com makes it easy for your church members to share these messages and more with others. By embedding their Evites on your church website, your members can send an e-card to anyone with an email address. The ecards are delivered to the recipient’s email inbox along with a personal message. These Evites are great for inviting new members to church, sending thoughtful notes to other members, or even a quick thank you. Each Evite contains your church address and website embedded in the card to let the receiver know where the card originated.

Evites are available for churches of all denominations and are simple to setup and install on your church website. Any webpage that you can embed html code can display the Evites. Once the Evites are customized for your church and the code is embedded on the page it is a snap for your members to send a message. And not only can messages be sent via email, there are also options to send the Evite via Twitter and Facebook.

ChurchInviter.com has two plans available to meet the needs of any size church or congregation. The free service allows you to embed up to 12 different designs and to send up to 75 evites per month. This should be sufficient for most small to medium sized congregations. A premium plan is available for those with larger needs, allowing you to embed an unlimited amount of evites on your website and send an unlimited number of evites per month. The premium package also includes statistics, technical support and free one-time installation. All of the premium features are available for only $9.95 per month or $59.95 per year.
