Have You Heard Of Wikiletics?

This might be a blog to forward to your pastor (if you’re the pastor or youth pastor, this is for you).

Short for “wiki homiletics,” wikiletics.com is the first “wiki” (open-content) preaching resource on the Web. Every week, 20-30 pages of new homiletic resources will be posted on the website. We then encourage preachers to make changes to the content themselves, adding useful illustrations and animations, telling stories of how certain things worked and others didn’t, and even changing whatever sermons are posted to reflect the collective wisdom of expert practitioners in the art and craft of preaching.

I’m a contributor to it. Check it out!

 

Want To Download A Video From YouTube For Your iPod?

Download iTube

Not to be confused with the other iTube! for Mac OS X, which is designed for easy location of online streaming video, this iTube makes downloading YouTube videos easier for Windows users. Put in the URL for the YouTube video you want to download, iTube converts the video to an iPod compatible MPEG-4 file and automatically adds the video to your iTunes library. No more hassling with multiple step processes to convert an YouTube video. Paste in the URL of the page on YouTube, hit Go and you’re done.

 

Roxio MediaTicker

Download Roxio MediaTicker

This just in from Jake Ludington: Roxio MediaTicker offers Windows XP users the chance to add a Vista-like feature to Windows now. The app puts images in a scrolling stock-ticker style sidebar, with three size options. The sidebar appears on top, bottom, left or right side of your screen depending on your preference. You’re currently limited to choosing only one folder (including any subfolders) with My Pictures being the default. Selecting any picture from the ticker will give you a larger preview of the image with an option t o email the photo to a friend, set the image as your desktop background, or print the image. The beta of the next version includes support for RSS feeds in the ticker. You can bypass registering the app by hitting cancel when you launch the application for the first time. The one potential downside is Roxio is reserving the right to occasional feed announcements into the ticker at some point in the future, which is their tradeoff for making the app free.

eBible.com Goes LIVE

eBible.com just went LIVE. Here’s a quote from the MicroExplosion blog: “eBible is truly a web 2.0 version of the Bible complete with tags for different topics, internal bookmarks, and its very own Firefox plugin. The eBible bookshelf has a full list of free reference resources and Bible translations as well as some additional resources you can purchase if you’re so inclined. It has some very cool features like a quick scroll tool within the window and a right-click instant commentary reference feature. The site design is very clean and intuitive…just as a web 2.0 version of this should be. I think in time eBible will become one of the top Bible reference tools online.”
