Logos on the iPhone

As I’m finishing up my last assignment of the semester (an annotated selected bibliography related to a dissertation topic), I’m looking forward to having a bit more time to test and evaluate some software.

BibleWorks 8 Review (part 2)

Analysis Window New Tabs This window is on the right third of the BW8 program (see below). It is divided up into preset tabs, a few of which are new in the upgrade from BW7.

So Long Biblioblog Top 50

Jim says they’re done. The website seems to contain one “trivial” post (visit to see what I mean :)). Could it be the end? If so, we’ll miss the best thing the site had going for it: blog listings. Continue Reading
