So, this article is months old now (sorry I’ve been really busy with family stuff).  But I still wanted to pass on this article from The Economist titled “What Would Jesus Hack? Cybertheology: Just how much does Christian doctrine have in common with the open-source software movement?” It turns out that I’m not the only one that has seen the similarities in the values of the two…

Hey everyone, I haven’t been posting much lately as we’ve been busy getting my wife back to health.  For those interested, she has been responding very well to treatment.  Thanks for your prayers!

Every once and a while I come across a post that is just good to pass along without much commentary.  Here’s one by BlenderGuru about creating title animations in Blender.  If nothing else, it will show you a glimpse into the huge feature set and completely reworked user interface of Blender 2.5.  Multimedia has become an integral part of many churches, so why not try out Blender and save your church some dollars by avoiding expensive production software (and hardware)?

I know there’s not a huge following of this blog yet.  However, I did want to give a quick update to let you know why there hasn’t been many posts lately.

Last week, my wife was diagnosed with colon cancer.  We’ll be doing treatment over the next several months at a minimum.  Therefore, I’m sure I won’t have time or energy to put out a lot of content on this blog.  If I find quick things to send, I’m sure I’ll do it, but I also have much less time to scour the web for interesting open source topics.  Hopefully, in the future, life will get back to normal and time will open up again, so that I can reengage.

Until then, I hope the information that is already up is helpful.  Thanks for your support and prayers.

OK, we all know it happens.  Discussion starts on an interesting topic introduced on a recent blog post.  But as the conversation continues, all of sudden, you realize that the discussion has veered wildly off the yellow brick road to Oz and you’re now making a B-line for the Wicked Witch of the West.  It happens to to all of us, so I decided I’d try to go ahead and plan for it.  I don’t want to quelch discussion, however, I don’t want blog comments getting polluted with amazingly off-topic conversations.  If the comment discussion ends up getting too far from the original post content, please feel free to move the discussion to the comments of this post instead.

Maybe one day I’ll have a real user forum with an off-topic section, but for now this will have to do.

I’ll be doing my own police-ing of the discussions, but anyone should feel free to recommend an off-topic discussion being moved away from the current post and into this one.

thanks for your consideration and support,

oschurch
