I made this video using Google’s Search Story Video Creator. What do you think?
(Thanks to Steve Garfield for the tip and a great tutorial on how to make it.)

I used the Photosynth app on the iPhone to make this 360 degree view of the Mexican Baptist Theological Seminary.
If you follow me on twitter or know me personally, you probably already know I have grown to be quite a baseball fan, especially the Tampa Bay Rays. We’ve watched them since they were born and have been through some rough years. All that changed last year with their first ever World Series appearance and this year with 3 Rays on the verge of making the All-Star team. Then along comes this.
Seminary Planet
Not sure if it’s because the kids and I have been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 a little lately, or because I’ve re-discovered the goodness of Photojojo, but I made this little plaentoid of the Seminary the other day.
I used this tutorial from the Photojojo site to turn a panorama that I had shot with the Photosynth app on my phone into a planet.
I’m thinking of making them into t-shirts and selling them to seminary students. What do you think?

The Story Behind our Christmas Card
I saw a new app in the App store for the iPad and iPhone, and I wanted to try it out. It’s called Blurb, and it lets you create stories with different media: audio, video, pictures.
So I made this Story behind our Christmas card. I like the app and will probably use it again in the future.
The apps I talk about in the story are: Camera+ and Halftone. And here’s the link for the Blurb app.

You can check it out on the Photosynth website, too.
Posterous
I’ve been playing around with posterous.com, a site that allows you to easily post pretty much everything and then decide where it goes from there. So far, I like it a lot.
After you set it up, all you do is send an email to posterous.com, and using different addresses, you tell it where it should post to besides your posterous account. Everything you post goes to your posterous stream, too.
I like it because I can post pictures and video to different places just by attaching them to an email and sending it off. Usually within a minute it is posted to both my posterous account and my flickr account. If I want, I can also post it to my facebook or twitter accounts. I’ve given my posterous account the name: Life and Other Things…Everything I can think about right now, because that is exactly how I use it. It’s a way to share experiences and what I’m thinking.
It’s just simply an easy way to get content out there. I’m excited about the possibilities. I can even post to this blog by sending an email to posterous. How cool is that?
Baseball on the iPhone
If you follow me on twitter or know me personally, you probably already know I have grown to be quite a baseball fan, especially the Tampa Bay Rays. We’ve watched them since they were born and have been through some rough years. All that changed last year with their first ever World Series appearance and this year with 3 Rays on the verge of making the All-Star team. Then along comes this.
You can now watch MLB baseball on your iPhone or iPod touch. I haven’t bought the app because you only get 2 games per day and I’m not sure I want to shell out $10 for it. But, it’s great to see major sports league using technology to improve the fan experience. Go Rays!!

Open Source Church
I’ve already said that I’m a big fan of free ministry resources. One of the biggest providers of free resources for churches is LifeChurch.tv. In this video, their pastor, Craig Groeschel tells a little about their church and the resources they offer.
Let’s not be afraid to share resources in the church.
