You can now burn CD TEXT from iTunes, but can you read CD TEXT?
Only if you download this free plugin from Doug’s AppleScripts for iTunes.

You can also submit CD TEXT info to the CDDB online and retrieve the track names from any other computer, but be sure to allow 48 hours for the database to update.

ESV Daily Bible Reading Plan

In: Photos| Spiritual

21 Apr 2009

I got the English Standard Version study bible when it came out, last October, after six years of waiting. I’ve been trying to keep up with the daily reading plan that the ESV has in the back—a chapter or so from four books of different categories. You can read the daily passages (or listen to them!) for free at the Crossway Publications website, in your inbox, or through your favorite RSS reader.

Phone got wet? Fix that wet cell in a rice bag!

In: How To

18 Apr 2009

Magically fix a wet phone, or camera, or what have you, by placing it in a ziplock bag filled with rice. The other day, my cousin fell into a pond, giving his phone and camera the deep six. When he asked around to see what people do when there phone gets wet, they all said to try the rice bag!

Sounds like urban legend—I was skeptical, and he is the biggest skeptic I know—but it worked! Just be patient, and eventually the cellphone will dry out and function. Amazing!

Update: My cousin’s phone revived over night, and his camra did too after a few days.
