A desktop wiki like tool for keeping track of notes, phone numbers, and even has built in tools to use as your GTD system. It is cross platform running on Linux and Windows. With Dropbox you can keep your notes synced between all of your computers. You can even attach documents, files, and insert pictures too to keep all of your information in one place. Each note page is saved in plain text making it possible to edit the files with a normal text editor if you do not have Zim Wiki installed on a computer but have access to the files.

General information, but kind of interesting.

Well, I guess we did not have to wait long. Seems to have a lot of the features that I use in Springpad webapp, and is connected with Drive. I look forward to test driving it on my Nexus 7, and in Chrome in the weeks ahead.

A Google version of Evernote looks like it is on the way. I'm excited, since I already live in Google Apps during the day, I would love having all of my notes in Apps too. Currently using Scratchpad (A Chrome Extention) which ties into Drive, but this looks more feature rich.

Math practice site. With an account it will keep score.

Church web-based management software- has some interesting process cues to help track visitors and tasks to keep them connected as well as other management info

A nifty idea for making the sound board more user friendly.

I use this little trick to keep my Drive, SkyDrive, and Dropbox in sync with each other.  Works wonderfully.

A look at the top education technology tools and trends to keep an eye on in the coming year

10 things to keep an eye on in ministry technology.

An interesting take on the topic. Not really 11, many are about how hard it is to sing with the displays. I have noticed that in some congregations we visit. I post this not to endorse the 11, but so that those of us that may be advocating for such technology understand the level of despise that may come with the displays from some members.

The article is mostly an interview with Covenant Eyes, who makes accountability software and recently produced a free e-book for parents. I downloaded it to check it out and ended up reading the first four chapters just today. Chapters are short and include discussion questions. For a non-WELS resource, so far they do a fairly good job of being gospel-centered/grace-driven. Looks like a great resource.

This is just coming out and promises to have more full education features soon. I think it has lots of promise - try it out and keep an eye on it. Probably should have kept it for my pick for September! ; )

I am currently feeling overwhelmed and very unorganized in my online presence. This article holds out hope as we continue the journey into social media - some good thoughts in the post to encourage leaders in bringing good technology into good teaching.

This is for Sallie - Super Mario sheet music for the piano!

Thanks Jason - I emailed the link to my piano player son (and his piano teacher). I'm sure he will be thrilled. All my kids like to pluck out video game music on their instruments. :-)

I knew you guys would like it! I haven't been able to get anything to load :-( but I'll keep trying! Let me know if it works out.
