Technology

I saw two instances of barcode type things being messaged to phones where they are scanned this week. That probably didn't make sense, so here's a link to a guy that did a mobile boarding pass, and a link to the announcement of iphone Starbucks ordering. In both instances you receive a barcode that can be scanned to deliver information, either what you ordered at Starbucks, or your flight information at the airport.
The boarding pass guy wonders how the church could use this for childcare check-in. Sounds cool and would probably be fairly efficient. I know the two things that I'm looking for in a check-in system are safety and efficiency. JM

Leadership Network Technology Blog

Leadership Network just announced that they have a technology blog that they are starting. From their site:

Today is our launch for digital.leadnet.org, and we've rallied together an enthusiastic team of contributors who will talk about everything from websites, social networking, mobile phone devices, podcasting, wiki, and more!

Hopefully it will be pretty useful. I subscribed. Might as well track it for a little bit and see if it's worth the read. JM

Wikipedia Of Church Technology

Awesome, awesome idea: wikipedia for church technology. I've already learned stuff and it's still brand new with limited info. JM
