I Want One-The New Sharpie Liquid Pencil!
Posted by Peter in Cool Stuff on August 23, 2010
Writers, artists, and Bible note takers take note. Sometime next month (9/10), you will be able to purchase a Sharpie Liquid Pencil.
I have a fascination with pens and inks, and I like most everything about pencils except the feel. Problem solved.
Apparently the liquid graphite ink is erasable but becomes more permanent over time. It looks and sounds pretty cool.
For more info, see the Sharpie Blog post referenced above, or the Crave blog post, and a CNET review. And another post on Wired.
I Write Like…
Posted by Peter in Cool Stuff on July 15, 2010
This has been going around the blogosphere, and I thought it would be fun. I submitted 2 posts to see if they would be consistent.
The results (which brought a smile to my face):
1. David Foster Wallace-Probably my favorite contemporary fiction author, and one of the most brilliant writers ever. He died (suicide) in 2008, way too early. If you haven’t read Infinite Jest, you should. It was named among Time’s All Time 100 Novels. Buy Infinite Jest from Amazon.
David Foster Wallace
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!
2. Douglas Adams-Author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Absolute classic, and I haven’t read it (but it’s on my list). Buy The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy from Amazon.
Fun stuff!
Check Out the “All Things New” Worship CD
Posted by Peter in Christianity, Cool Stuff on April 29, 2010
I want to plug a new worship CD released by the pastors of our church – All Things New: a worship encounter.
It’s an interesting mix of original music and scripture reading. It is not a traditional music CD. But it is a refreshing worship CD.
The original music is that of our worship pastor, Mindy von Atzigen, and the intermingled scripture reading is by our senior pastor and husband to Mindy, Eric von Atzigen.
It’s great for prayer, meditation, reading, driving, and just about everything except head banging (for those times when you just have to bang your head).
You can order All Things New online for just $10. It’s well worth the modest price.
If you are still undecided, you can also listen to a short snippet here: Listen to “Sleeping”
By the way, if any of you know of a better service for uploading music files, please let me know.
Best Free Software Site
Posted by Peter in Cool Stuff on March 26, 2010
I don’t think I’ve written about Gizmo’s Freeware (aka techsupportalert.com) before here, but I should have. It is my favorite (and, in my opinion, the best) free software site out there. If you’ve never visited it, you should. If you have, you know what I’m talking about.
It is not a megasite with every freeware program known to man, so you don’t have to sift through pages and pages of junk. It is simply a repository of the best freeware available categorized, reviewed and culled to the top free programs in each category.
I have yet to try this completely (primarily because of my dependence on WordPerfect and PowerPoint), but I am convinced you could survive without ever paying for software again by simply relying on this site. And the pickers, choosers and reviewers know what they are talking about.
I have found numerous gems that I use regularly. I found my screen capture utility, pdf reader/editor and writer, photo editor, anti-virus software, cleanup utilities, and much, much more. And now that there is a free Bible study software category, I feel compelled to recommend this site. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Note: About the only thing I did not find here was free or open source Church multi-media software, but I do now know of such a program if you happen to need one.
Electrical Outlet with USB Plug

I rarely ever use a triple exclamation point (!!!) on anything. But, I did in a comment on a post over at bryanlopez.com today because of this:
