Mobile, Palm Addict, and 7Yrs

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Mobile Ministry Magazine (logo) Today is e 7 year anniversary of Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM) being online. That’s something that almost didn’t happen. At the Lord’s suggestion of going online with it, I didn’t think that it would be something usable, let alone sustainable. And yet here things are, 7 years later. It wouldn’t have probably jumped online if not for Palm Addict:

I’m getting a chance to look back at 7 years of doing MMM and its been interesting. I’ve had all kinds of trouble with posting images and video until I figured out how to easily do the YouTube embed code on a mobile. Archiving has also been interesting – and its been there that Dropbox has probably been better than most. Each device, each service that I’ve used has been infused with some sense of “if its going to be mobile, then it better add some time to my life.” That’s been one of the lessons that seems to resonate throughout Palm Addict, and clearly has done the same with me as I’ve evolved with MMM…

Palm Addict has a lot to do with MMM. Am very grateful for Sammy’s support and the posts there that have tuned my thinking on mobile in ways that I am still only beginning to understand.

More Than a Bible in My Pocket

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

When I started with mobile devices a few years ago, I had a few uses in mind. My primary desire was to keep up with my calendar & tasks, but I also wanted to always keep a Bible in my pocket per se. At that time, I thought it was cool to carry around a Bible or two & a devotion with me at all times in my mobile.

Fast forward a few years and I can now say that I have more than just a Bible in my pocket. These days I’m carrying around an entire theological library, all under the guise of a mobile phone (and iPod Touch). With an unlimited data plan & Wi-Fi, I now have at my fingertips just as much information as I have sitting at my laptop or desktop computer. So, a few years ago when I thought it was nice to just read the Bible on my mobile, I’m now able to interact with the text of the Bible and put together a full blown study right from my mobile device. I never would have thought that such a thing would be possible from such a light piece of hardware (in weight & processing power).

Now, I can freely travel with just my phone, leaving my laptop at home, and not feel like I’m leaving anything behind. I’ve got my calendar, tasks, contacts, and my 2,000+ volume digital theological library right there with me. How awesome is that?! I can only imagine what I’ll be doing a few years from now on my mobile!
