Web Wednesday! Time wasters

Just some random sites that are great for wasting time. (As if I do a lot of that around here...)

Etsy: This is a shopping site... but the cool thing about it is the color grid they have. You click a color and what they have for sale, that has anything to do with that color, pops up.

(I use these sites with my kids in school. This one I do for color recognition with the littler ones)

Jackson Pollock: Just move your mouse and right click every once and a while and see what you can make!

Wildcard: Move your mouse and well... waste time. :)

Cubes: No point at all.

ArtPad: There are many art programs. You probably have a generic one that came with your PC. This one has a neat feature that will play back your brush strokes. It's fun to watch yourself make a masterpiece all over again.

Mr. Picassohead: Who needs Mr. Potato head when you can create your own?

SharkBreak: You need a break. Take some time for yourself and go deep sea diving. Manipulate a shark, whale, dolphin or fish.

Detrave Hangout: Make a random sentence.

Their Circular life: What goes on in your day is boring... check out these cities.

Have fun wasting time!

Web Wednesday! In the world but...

To round off last weeks Bible theme, here are a few sites that are Christ centered. I would call these sites fitting right in there with being in the world, but not of it. We can enjoy all the joys of internet without the sites that are of the world.

One News Now is a news site and it does great at giving you the latest news of the week and the news that you may wish you knew about b/c it is Christian related.

Are you interested in being an informed citizen? This site does that for you. It is Focus on the Family's site for us citizens to be informed about what takes place in the realm of "unknown world," as I call it. And here is another one that is good.

Air 1, is a radio station that broadcasts around the US. The site has great info on artists and you can get lyrics and buy music on the site. It's a fun site if you like music.

You've heard of YouTube, here is GodTube!

You've heard of MySpace/FaceBook, here is MyChurch!

PluggedIn is a site that has reviewed movies, music, and TV to help you make informed decisions about what you view or listen to, before you do. A very helpful site! There is a lot to the site, so if you are looking for just movie reviews, Screen It is your better bet.

Good Movies is a site that allows you to buy an original copy of a movie and then you get a free edited version. The edit makes the movie a PG movie (or PG13). I haven't bought movies this way, but have been told it's good. (My husband edits our movies for us) I don't think that movies are bad... they are good. It's a book in motion. Great. But! What the world is passing off as ok for us to be viewing is so wrong. I believe we can be in this world, but not of it! Joshua and I got a PG13 movie the other week to watch and there was nudity in it! (I failed to check screenIt) I was shocked! When did frontal nudity become a PG rating? Anyway... I'm getting off topic.

Have fun with the internet... be smart! :)

This is an amazing man that I "stumbled upon." Nick Vujicic. You can look him up on GodTube too. His testimony is truly one that will humble you and help put your perspective back in line.

Web Wednesday! Resources for your bible studying.

There are a few neat sites that are Bible related.

Bible Gateway is a site that you can look up verses in any language/version and by topics. I use this site very often!

God's Yellow Pages is an ok site. The layout isn't what I like... but I didn't make it! You can find the information in Bible Gateway, but this site does lay out by topics in an easy to see view.

Bible Map is very cool! You can look up verses and a map is visible of the place. I haven't played with this one as much as I would like to. But the times I have been on it have been very fun!

In need of a Bible Dictionary? Here you go!

Are you looking for a bible reading plan? This site will have one for you!

If you know someone (or for yourself) in need of a bible... this site ships them out completely FREE.

I've been interested in Early Christian Writings. It in important to remember that the books that are not in the Bible are NOT the bible. I like to read these for fun. Again, I want to stress that no books are to be added to the Bible!

And this is the best one... A FREE program that allows you to explore the bible in a way that no free program will let you. (That I know of.) You can use it off the internet or you can download it. I would describe it similar to Logos software but it is free. Bible Pro.

Web Wednesday! Free helpful sites in web design and writing

I am starting a new series. A series I have wanted to do for a while now but haven't for whatever reasons. I am excited to introduce you to (da da da daaaa) Web Wednesday's!!!
I love the internet! Love it! There are so many neat and wonderful things you can find. So on Wednesday's I am going to link to a few sites that I have found that I think are neat.

We'll start with a site I found to make the logo for my new series:
This site is neat. For FREE, you can make a logo in any color you can imagine and font... very cool.

The buttons you see to the right under the tab, blogs to check out, were made at this site: Again, for FREE, you can create a button in the color you want and your pick of font. There are some you can buy and they do require you to link to them, as you can see, I've done that.

If you are stuck on a title , this is a cool site that gives you random titles to choose from: Title Generator

If you need to quickly resize a picture but you don't have the program to do it... here is one for FREE: PIXizer

Looking for the perfect font? For FREE!? TypeNow has it!

And the last one for today is a rhyming tool. You can type in a word and find its rhymes, synonyms, and more here at Poetry.com

Kind of a theme going on here. I'd like to keep it that way. Hope you enjoyed!
