App of the Week: Overgram

This is the sixteen article in the series App of the Week series.

Mobile photo editors are an attractive iOS app as people are taking tons of pictures on the fly. Some of the big leaps in ministry and blogging now require that we use these images as quick as possible which requires that we have great photo editors. Recently, I had my computer crash and needed a photo app that would allow me to overlay text on my photos for the featured image. So here is our review of Overgram.

When It All Came Crashing Down

The unfortunate news is that Sunday evening my laptop crashed and never recovered. It amazes me how fragile our technology can be while at other times other tech seems to survive everything. (i.e. an iPhone that your one year old son sends flying across the room) Thankfully I did backup the hard drive recently with Apple’s Time Machine, but I did lose some precious Easter photos of my son and a few Seminary papers due soon.

Churchmag Hangouts - 06 Communicating with Technology

Churchmag Hangout #06: Communicating with Technology

I love the idea of several Christian-oriented nerds discussing in a very informal setting tech of some sort that may be beneficial for churches, bloggers, missionaries, and any other kind of ministry out there. To do this well, we are going to have hangouts every other Saturday (or so) at 10AM EST that will be On Air for all to see live and then we will be posting the YouTube video on ChurchMag. Catch the next Hangout here.

App of the Week: Flipboard

This is the fifteenth article in the series App of the Week series.

With Google’s announcement last month of Google Reader that it would be shutting down in the summer, there have been several companies that said they would step up to fill the void for bloggers and readers that still want to have that RSS reader feel that we have grown attached to with Google. Flipboard is the top reported company that has seen success since the announcement, so we wanted to give the iOS app another try.

App of the Week: Podcast

This is the fourteenth article in the series App of the Week series.

Some of the best times of my day is when I get to sit in the car driving, sync my iPhone with my Ford, and turn on a great podcast. Whether it is a great daily episode of Tech News Today or The Youth Ministry Garage, you need to have a great application on your iOS device to really enjoy the whole experience. A week ago, I would not have done this review because the application was actually a disgrace, but this week it is significantly better than before. So here are the things that we like and still want to see changed with Apple’s Podcast app.
