One of the excellent Mac apps I use is 1Password. It’s one of those collect-your-passwords, fill-in-web-forms jobs that works without you having to think.
If you’re sick of entering passwords to login to websites and/or you’re worried about the security of your passwords stored in your browser (you should be), then take advantage of 1Password’s [...]
If you’re a Hebraist, get yourself over to Sam’s website and check out the beta of his Hebrew paradigm learning software.
It looks sweet (esoteric OS X font issues aside) and could be one of those things that goes global. After all, Sam wrote the app because there wasn’t anything to do the job already.
It’s [...]

I don’t care much for the default Accordance icon (Accordance is the premier Mac Bible software). So I changed it. If you want to do the same, here’s how.
First, get yourself an icon that you’d like to use. I use the one at right, which you can download and unzip by clicking the image. [...]
Cool looking new (beta) online photo editing app from Adobe.

With jaunty reference to my previous post, here it is.
988 Megabytes of glory:
So, to some interesting data. First, viewing the concordance shows me that, disregarding conjunctions and prepositions, the highest count goes to the word ‘God’ with 14,601 occurrences in Briefing issues 000-300 (000 was the sneak-peak).

I just had a great idea.
I’ve been using the Most Excellent DEVONthink to compile a massive, fully cross-referenced database of everything Christian or Bible-related that I have ever collected or written. All my Bible studies, talks, exegetical papers, Hebrew and Greek grammar notes, essays, readings in pdf, etc etc, are in the process of [...]
Time Machine just saved my be-hind. Rapidweaver flaked out and spewed its guts up all over the place (this is a metaphor), but a quick step into Time Machine and the old version of a file was quickly and painlessly restored.
It really is incredibly easy and whoever said that this was Apple’s greatest triumph [...]
I’m talking about Tech Lust. It’s insidious.
Phillip Jensen spoke this week at KYLC on various -isms, one of which was materialism (I’m missing tomorrow’s talk on consumerism, which is a real shame). He pointed out how thoroughly materialist (in both the philosophical and economic senses) our society is. It’s so much a part of [...]

Also check out Time Capsule if you’re running Leopard.

This is good news. Lock the dates in if you’re available and using (or thinking about using) Accordance.
BTW, in other [...]

I’ve mentioned OmniFocus before (« that thar’s two links), when it was in private alpha. It’s now in public beta and if you order before Jan 8, you get it 50% off. If you own OmniOutliner Pro, you get a further 25% off.
I got a bit jack of the bugs in the alpha and dropped [...]
