I really enjoyed this article. It describes ways Christians can focus and control their use of technology so that it doesn’t overwhelm their spiritual lives:

If you are a Mac user using the beta release of the EGW CRE 2008 software (Ellen G. White Writings, Comprehensive Research Edition 2008), you may be interested in this little app I wrote. What it does is allow you to launch multiple instances of the EGW CRE 2008 app simultaneously. This was requested in the comment thread for “EGW CD-ROM via Darwine on OS X“.
At the 2009 GYC convention, I was introduced to a new application for the iPhone and iPod touch that features Ellen White’s writings, called PocketBible. Unlike the Conflict of the Ages app I reviewed some time ago, this one contains all of the books (or at least the major ones) written by Ellen White. I counted 119 books in all. This is obviously a major advance over the five books included with Conflict of the Ages.
The base app, PocketBible, is developed by a company called Laridian. This app is FREE. However, PocketBible is mainly just a shell for library modules that you download. Some of these are free or included, but others — such as the Ellen White writings — cost money. (Most of their libraries are Bible translations and such.)
Many people have commented that this year’s GYC (December 30, 2009–January 3, 2010) was the best yet. It is hard for me to make such a judgment, since each GYC I’ve attended has had its own special qualities, and sometimes disappointments. But I think it was truly one of the best.
Quality may be subjective, but quantity is not. This was clearly the most attended GYC ever, with well over 3,000 attendees on the opening night, and reports of close to 6,000 attendees on Sabbath. It has come to be a powerful movement.
