I am fairly new to web development. I've used some basic wysiwygs. I recently was given Dreamweaver and I am learning how to use it. I also have photoshop cs2.

I came across a product called site grinder that says it alows you to take a photoshop document and create a site with it. It looked interesting.

I was wondering if anyone has used this or have an opinion on the product. I'm not looking at seriously buying it. I like dreamweaver and what it can do. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had any experience using Site Grinder.

Our church was looking to get a new video mixing board. The one we're using is about 8 or 9 years old. We would like one with fire wire out so we can capture the services straight to PC as well as to DVD and VHS.

I'm a real noob when it comes to professional video equipment. I know these mixers are out there and I've done some window shopping online, but really haven't found what we are looking for.

I was wondering what some of your churches use for video mixing and capture. Or if you have some suggestions, I am open. I'm needing some help here.

I can see both sides, but I gotta disagree with your reasons on hating on the book store. You said if people want a book they should go to Borders or Barnes and Noble, etc. However, if I can spend $10 at Barnes & Noble or spend $10 at my church, why wouldn't I want to spend my money at the church. I know where my money is going to when I buy something at the church. I know that any profits is going to more equipment or the building fund or someone's salary. So why not support the church through buying books.

Now I love the idea of a communal library for helping spread the knowledge. And getting books and sharing resources, its a very good thing.

But if I want to buy a book for my own use and the church offers that book, why not buy from them. I'm not some anti-corporate guy. I'm not against buying books at Barnes and Noble, they've gotten lots of my money. However, if my church carries a book I want, I'd rather give my money to them.

That's my thought on the subject.

I've been going thru Geeks and God's past podcasts and came across the one on missions. That was a lot of good stuff. I could've used it last year :)

I went with one of our missionaries to Western Samoa in the South Pacific. The islands have some tech. Their internet access is mainly Dial-Up, but they do have a couple of internet cafes that have DSL.

I went there and was totally unprepared technologically. I figured I'd be able to film and edit some videos and upload them to a service like Xdrive. Didn't happen.

So I settled for setting up a photobucket account and uploaded photos to that. Which sufficed, but I had wanted to do more. I didn't know about Wordpress or Blogger at the time, that would've really come in handy.

Now the missionary I had went with is getting ready to go back in a couple of months and your podcast gave some really good ideas.

Thanks for setting this site up. Just wanted to let you know that you guys have been super-helpful.

I'm 33 and I love video games. Call me what you will, but I'm a gamer at heart. Halo 2, Battlefield 2. Throw in some Viva Pinata, some Sims from time to time, and RTS'.

So anybody else here like to kick back and bask in the AC with a controller in your hand and tv in front of you?
