A recommendation from Pastor Rob Guenther - He writes ... I found a series of podcasts recently that I've been enjoying and would recommend. Check out: http://quickanddirtytips.com/ (particularly Get-It-Done Guy, Get-Fit-Guy, and Tech Talker. But I also enjoy the Grammar Girl and the Public Speaker as a pastor/writer/preacher). Only 6 to 8 min. podcasts, but half that when I listen in double time.   

I can't believe that Google is shutting this down!  Hopefully some of these alternative RSS readers will be able to take its place.  Any suggestions or recommendations from the WELSTech crowd?

One caution with this link. One of the apps mentioned "Four Spiritual Laws" does not reflect our theology, and can't be recommended as a tool to share our faith. Perhaps this could serve as an encouragement to develop an app that does share our faith and accurately reflects our theology.

Thanks for the review and caution. I tagged this quick so I wouldn't lose it but hadn't looked at the recommendations in detail. Always good to exercise discernment.

I plan to recommend this to my confirmation classes and my congregation at large.

Recommendation from Clarence Chapman via G+ - If anyone is looking for a relatively in expensive video editing program that has a lot of ability and runs very simular Final Cut Pro try Cyberlink Power Director. We have been using it for a couple of years now and it is pretty powerful software.

This is very good software at an extremely good price for only a short while more. A good training course on udemy.com https://www.udemy.com/powerdirector/

Recommended by WELSTech listener Jeff Nelson - Free alternative to SnagIt for screen capture - Great reviews

This little box comes highly recommended as a unit to power a digital display using Risevision server software. Looks promising...

Let your light shine as you get to know your neighbors through this local community social network. Thanks Brent Nemmers for the recommendation!

A FinalWeb customer recommends this site as alternative to Google Cal because it doesn't truncate the printed version ... I thought you might like to know about a FREE NON-Google calendar that has word wrap, is easy and will import a google calendar.

I had a friend recommend this site, he says it is great for collaboration with others on their church's video team for developing content. It is a tool that let's you annotate and comment videos, like you would a Doc in Google.

LastPass has 90 days to fix the potential exploit before ProjectZero releases the exploit to the public. The Mac Geek Gab Podcast recommends switching password managers if LastPass has not "patched the hole" in half the time (May 1). I personally have LP on all my devices, having paid money for the mobile version. 1Password seems to have a stronger reputation from the podcasts and bloggers I follow, but the desktop app was much more expensive than LastPass. Perhaps I'm getting what I've paid for. :(

Thanks for this article Emile. It looks like LastPass has implemented a fix, announced last Friday. https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/03/security-update-for-the-lastpass-extension.html/

Sallie, I don't remember if this tool showed up in one of your classes, or if it was in another, but it is a very handy tool.

Yes, that was a tool I recommended in the web design class, but i wasn't aware there was a mobile app. Thanks!

I'm starting a blog today, and a member of my PLN recommended this site for some tips and tricks on getting started. Lots of great information on this site.

Interested to know how well reviewed this is by other WELS people.........anyone read this system and recommend it?
