Preserve Biblical Accuracy - Mimi Haddad - God’s Politics Blog Last week, Zondervan announced that it will phase out the Today's New International Version (TNIV) of the Bible, which has been in print for only four years. The shortened lifespan of this Bible is a result of attacks launched by critics who believe the TNIV was driven by "political-correctness." Yet, many of us believe the TNIV is biblically correct. Still, the debate over the TNIV was so divisive among evangelicals that its guardians decided that the best path forward is to revise the NIV, which will eventually eclipse and replace the TNIV. Many of the revisions noted in the TNIV, as well as an additional 1,200 revisions, will be incorporated into the update of the NIV, its first in 24 years, scheduled for completion by 2011.

Journal - SSIS - SQL Server Tidbits Elliott Kember dot Com Comics, Quizzes, and Stories Point: Accelerate innovation by finding an analogous solution from a different industry. Story: Henry Ford’s assembly line is often touted as a breakthrough innovation. What’s less known is that Ford got the idea by seeing the “disassembly line” process of butchering hogs at the Philip Armour meatpacking company in Chicago. Similar techniques were also already being used by Campbell’s to automate canned food production. Adopting ideas from other industries and applying them to your own industry is a powerful and proven source of innovation. One exciting solution I came across was described by Jim Todhunter, CTO of Invention Machine at the Open Innovation Summit last month. Todhunter described how a manufacturer of plumbing fixtures used adjacencies to remove lead from their plumbing fixtures. The faucet maker realized they needed help to solve the problem and turned to Invention Machine’s Goldfire software to find feasible external innovations. Action: For Additional Information:
Integrating OpenID in an ASP.NET MVC Application using DotNetOpenAuth - Rick Strahl's Web Log The #1 request I got on the CodePaste.net site - which provides a quick and easy way to publish and share code snippets publicly - has been to implement OpenId for authentication rather than the custom username/password login that’s been in use up until now. OpenId is a centralized login/authentication mechanism which handles authentication through one or more centralized OpenId providers. These providers live on the Web and are accessed through a forwarding and callback mechanism – you log in at the provider’s site and are then returned to the original starting Url with an authorized user token that uniquely identifies that user to the original site. What is OpenId? OpenId is a single sign-on scheme – the idea is that you keep your login and profile information in one place so that you don’t have to login at every Web location and create new user credentials on each site. To be honest I hadn’t warmed up to OpenId until recently. OpenId Development Walking through OpenId Authentication
Presentation on Tweeting the Bible « OpenBible.info Blog Here’s a presentation I just gave at the BibleTech 2010 conference about how people tweet the Bible: Also: PowerPoint, PDF. I distributed the following handout at the presentation, showing the popularity of Bible chapters and verses cited on Twitter. Resources Broadcast TV is dead. Long live TV! Despite declining numbers in broadcast TV viewership, consumption of TV Shows and online video is growing faster than ever before. With every Network and their dog madly rushing to provide a second screen experience via native applications, few compelling cross-platform TV experiences exist on the web. Beyond technical considerations, supporting continuous experiences across channels and devices is a complex and fascinating (mobile) user experience problem.
