I was reading an article a few weeks back about normal people who use computers and the power users (AKA IT guys) that support them.

PSW Staff 10/26/10 12:28 PM, 0 CommentsHartselle Church of Christ which boasts beautiful, inspirational architecture featuring high ceilings and ornate brickwork, i’s an impressive looking sanctuary.. However, that same architecture created some unforeseen challenges. As Christopher Bragg, Senior Systems Engineer at Covington, GA-based Messenger Media Systems Inc., explains, the room’s acoustic signature did not lend itself to getting the message across to the congregation. “It’s a very wide room, and very reflective,” says Bragg. “As a traditional Church of Christ, their service is very much centered… View this post

Rechargeable Batteries - Why You’ve Been Burned
Mike Sessler 10/26/10 10:58 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. One of the most fascinating topics I’ve ever written about has to be rechargeable batteries. I’ve tweeted about and read countless comment threads on the topic and there seems to be three camps of people in the rechargeable battery debate. The first group has used them for years, loves them and wouldn’t consider going back to alkaline batteries. The second group has never used them, though most have heard the horror stories and… View this post6 Comments
