In search of the perfect printer
Posted on 26. Mar, 2012 by Kenny.
Okay, I need a little help from some fellow tech geeks. I have a 6 year old Dell laser printer which has been a fantastic little printer. I was using a wireless printer server for about 3 years until it crashed and burned a few months ago. I could never get my mac to print wirelessly, so I always had to email stuff to the PC and print from there. I’ve been setting aside some cash and I think I have enough now to get what I want. So, here is what I’m looking for and I’m hoping that someone can tell me what I could get.

App of the week: Keynote Remote
Posted on 25. Mar, 2012 by Kenny.
A sure fire, no miss app for me that has saved my hide on many occasions this year has been Keynote Remote. If you use a mac personally or use macs for presentations at church or other speaking opportunities, I’d highly suggest investing in this very useful app for your iPad, iPod or iPhone. I’ve found myself in situations where the remote clicker I needed to use for a presentation could not get a clear line of site with the compter or perhaps I was too far away from the compter to get an appropriate signal to control the slideshow.

Getting your notes and highlights off the Kindle
Posted on 12. Dec, 2011 by Kenny.
I got an iPad a little over a year ago and the application I use more than any other on this device is the Kindle app. Because of both the iPad and this App, I’m reading more than I ever have. It’s just too easy and convenient and because I always have either my iPhone or iPad with me, I always have my books.
I love how you can highlight as you’re reading which allows me to boil down the most important parts of the book for later review. Unfortunately, Kindle has made it next to impossible to get these highlights and notes off the device, especially if you’re using the iPad. However, this weekend I came across some instructions on how to take my notes and highlights off the device and it works like a champ.… Read the rest

Your ministry needs an app!
Posted on 29. Nov, 2011 by Kenny.
My friend Matt McKee just announced something incredible. It’s called 1000 apps for Christmas. His company, ROAR, is offering 1000 free apps in the next 30 days. That means if you want an app for your ministry, they’ll build it for you for free. All you’ll pay for is the hosting. This is an incredible deal. I’ve seen places where you can get apps for cheap, but in most cases, you get what you pay for. ROAR is different. They build quality apps that are fast, stable and current technology. So, if you’ve been thinking about getting an app for that ministry or program… now’s the time!

Wired goes iPad all the way!
Posted on 25. May, 2011 by Kenny.
I love Wired magazine. It’s one of the few magazines I read and probably the only one I read cover to cover. The problem with me is that I’m just not a big fan of magazines anymore. The media I take in is almost 100% digital now. I read my books on my iPad, I get my news from blogs and watch TV and movies through Hulu, Netflix and other services. Someone tell me, why are we still printing magazines? Oh yeah…. so we have something to do on airplanes when we’re not allowed to have electronic devices on.
Well, about a year ago, Wired Magazine began publishing their magazine on the iPad. It wasn’t just scanned images from the magazines, but actually additional content as well as videos and links… the way an iPad magazine should look like.… Read the rest

The Almighty Bible App
Posted on 16. Feb, 2011 by Kenny.
I regret that I didn’t get a chance to finish my review of The Almighty Bible last week, but things got a little dicey at the end of the week. So, where was I? I wrote about the content and style of this new Bible here. I also wrote about the club here (which I think is what is most exciting). Lastly though, I didn’t talk about the app. Right now you can go to iTunes and download the app for your iPad. It’s a stunning app. Kids can flip from page to page, reading as they go along, or they can put it in auto mode and listen to the stories narrated to them as they look at the pictures.… Read the rest

App of the week: Square
Posted on 23. Jan, 2011 by Kenny.
Not everyone is going to need this app, but I must say it is one of the coolest new apps I’ve seen. I was first introduced to it when hearing Bro. Jim and Sam Luce talking about it at an Infuse retreat this summer. It sounded intriguing, but I never checked it out. However, two weeks ago when I was with these two guys again, I saw it in action. Sam Luce paid Bro. Jim $20 by swiping his credit card through a card reader plugged into the earphone connector on his iPhone. What? That was kinda cool.
So, I downloaded the app, verified my bank account and received the free card reader (that’s right, it’s free) and have tested it multiple times.… Read the rest

Speaking from an iPad
Posted on 16. Jan, 2011 by Kenny.
Yesterday I used my iPad for a wedding. More than likely, I’m never going back to paper again. My next test will be to use it to teach from, which I’ll try out over the next few months.
I’ve always been the type to fully write out my talks and speak from that. So when I used my iPad yesterday, I had to modify my document for reading purposes. The 9 point font was just a little too hard to see, so I jumped it up to 17 points. Perfect.
I was also a little curious as to how I was going to access my file. After playing around with it for a few minutes, put copies of the document in both word and pdf formats in dropbox.… Read the rest
