We’re back! It’s been nearly 6 months since our last podcast. I’m sure you thought we were never coming back, but here we are. Al and Lon have a great website, software program, podcast and tech tips to get you back on track. So strap on those ear buds and get ready for another geekfest.
In this podcast Lon and Allen talk about a great “ezine”, a cool program to keep all your notes organized, a High Definition Video podcast that will blow your socks off, and some Gmail tips. They also introduce a new section called Titan or Turkey. Plug in to another Good News Geeks episode.
We made it. Not the way we had planned, but as Allen always says, “Computers and Murphy’s law go hand in hand”. We will try to do the talkshoe thing again soon, but for this podcast we will have to settle for the old fashioned way. We review our usual website, free software, podcast and give some helpful tips. As always, we have some great new music too. Check it out and let us know what you think on our audio feedback options or leave us a comment. We’d love to hear from you.
It’s our one year anniversary! We just keep coming, like the energizer bunny. This Podcast takes a look at Google’s new start page called igoogle. You’ve got to get one. It is so cool. Allen shows us Adobe’s new smaller reader called “digital edition.” Lon introduces us to Greg Boyd’s sermon podcast. He’s the pastor at Woodland Hills Church. Allen tells us how to get those large files to friends and family without clogging up our email. Next month on Friday July 13 at 9:00 p.m. CST we are doing the live show on talkshoe again. Be there or be square. Click on the links below for more info. Leave us a comment.
Twelve months of Good News Geeks! Who would have thought? Allen and Lon are back at it with a great new show. In this episode we look at a movie review website called Crosswalk and in particular a review on the movie just out on DVD, Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington. A free program called Scratch is showcased. The kids will love this animation video creation software. We sample a podcast called Napkin Scribbles with Leonard Sweet (we listened to something else by him in podcast 6). And, Allen tells us everything we will ever need (or want) to know about Bluetooth Technology. Click on the links below for more info. Leave us a comment. We’d love to get your feedback.
We had a great time with out first live show on TalkShoe. We hope to do it again in the future, so if you like what you hear join in next time. Of course we talked about websites, software, podcasts and tech tips like we always do. Lon and Alan had some of their own recommendations like always, but what made this show great was the input by the listeners. All the links mentioned in the podcast are below. Let us know what you think.
I (Lon) went to the annual conference for my profession today. They had this section where they handed out awards. Usually, someone who had a relationship with the honoree would get up and say a lot of great things about the person getting the award. The person getting the award would go up to accept and say a few words of thanks. Tears often seemed part of the equation. One person was presented with the “Lifetime Achievement Award”. This woman was amazing. The acolades went on and on. When she got up there she seemed so humble. I guess that’s how you get those kind of awards. At the end of the introduction, the friend presenting the award said, “Congratulations on a life well lived.”
Now, if I had been the one getting the award; no matter how much good I had done, I think I still would have thought of the times I could have done better. I would have thought that there was someone else more deserving. Then it occurred to me: God sees me as perfect through Jesus. He wants nothing more than to open his arms wide and say, “Congratulations on a life well lived!” He wants to give me the lifetime achievement award, right now. That turns the whole thing upside down.
We make a stab at our second show via Skype. Hopefully, the sound quality has improved.
Lon shares a website and new technology called Talkshoe and announces that Good News Geeks is going Live!

Just in time for tax season, Allen comes up with a free tax software called Taxact.
Rob Bell makes another appearance on our podcast as we review his podcast (or his church’s podcast).
This is another great YouTube video that uses John Mayer’s song, “Waiting on the World to Change” to emphasize the responsibility of Jesus followers to live out our faith instead of just talk about it.
