A post for those searching a similar issue… For sometime now I have only had sound out of left channel of the headphone jack on my Mac Book Pro. I checked for lint in the jack (happened to my phone once). No lint. As it turns out, the balance on my sound output settings was… Continue Reading

I have made a small update to the reSearch Engine. I removed a few of the less helpful searches and added two, Hathi Trust and JSTOR. For those that do not know, reSearch Engine is a simple tool for searching multiple databases for a topic. Enter your topic, press enter/return, and then you’re given a… Continue Reading
OmniFocus Review: Mac and iPhone
A few of months ago, the folks at the Omni Group kindly gave me OmniFocus for Mac and OmniFocus 2 for iPhone to review. This review is thus based on my use of both apps for nearly three months. What is OmniFocus? OmniFocus is a productivity app that helps you create and manage tasks and… Continue Reading
BibleWorks 9: Final Thoughts
I want to wrap up my BibleWorks 9 review and fill in a few gaps that my previous posts have left. Purchasing and Installation As I said, I have used BibleWorks for nearly 10 years, and I have always found their customer support very good. Now, when you purchase a product, you will be sent… Continue Reading

Digital Humanities: Reconstructing a 400-yr-old Sermon
Fascinating way to reconstruct and interpret a historical event. Kudos to all involved. In NT studies, how about something similar to reconstruct stories within narratives (e.g., Sermon on the Mount, Paul’s Areopagus sermon) or the performance of whole narratives (e.g., the Gospel of Mark being read out/performed in a meeting of early Christians)? I suppose… Continue Reading
OS X Mavericks Features
I am looking forward to the release of OS X Mavericks especially for these new features which I think will ultimately help my “scholarly workflow”: File Tagging! Tags, when used correctly, can serve as a powerful organization tool that will save you time retrieving files later. I have wanted this for a long time (there… Continue Reading
