I push all the buttons around here.

I figured it was only a matter of time before this was possible (I suppose it was always possible, but now it’s easy [easier?]). Also, I love the term… Hackintosh! I wonder if this will become a defacto standard name?  I suppose you do have to at least question the legality, it is after [...]

I love blogging. I love the idea. I love the community. But IT moves slow at NMCC. And although media is what I spend most of my time doing, isn’t my passion (at least to blog about).
For those of you who read… Thank you. I really want to post more [...]

I need some help. We are researching what we need to invest in to update our media for Sunday morning worship. We aren’t currently using any cameras or IMAG in worship, but we are ready to purchase a few cameras to do some of our own video productions as well as record our [...]

I’ve just been immersed in church and work.
NMCC has some amazing things on the horizon! I am so pumped about what God is doing in the hearts and lives of our members! I am astounded at how he’s moving in our community. And I’m humbled to have the opportunity to do what [...]

Now for the down sides.
I could only think of 3 things…
1.  I’d like an easy way to reboot the media center without plugging in a keyboard, or trying to reach the power button in the back of the unit.

Now, it’s time for the good stuff.
There is a certain level of tweaking that had to take place in order for the Mac Mini to really play nice on the windows network. Below is a list of tweaks I used to make the Media Center convenient for my needs.
1. XviD QuickTime Component. [...]

All the avid Mac users are probably thinking right about now that I’m stupid. If I would store my media files in the right places according to the OS X specifications, Front Row would just work with zero effort. That is absolutely true. However, my needs were a little more complicated than [...]

I finally get to be a geek on my blog! I’ve always asked questions or generalized my geekyness. In a way it made me a blogging leach/bum. I constantly glean from others, never supplying anything of value in return. Well, NO MORE. I finally have something I’m proud to share.
When [...]

Wow, I can’t begin to tell you all how busy things have been. My apologies for the lack of updates. I’m only a volunteer. As my life gets busy, some things just take a back seat. Blogging is it sometimes. I do keep up with my reading, so hopefully you [...]

I love this church. This has to be some kind of goal. I can’t prove it, but that has to be one of the largest crowds on a Sunday morning of any protestant church in our community. It’s not a contest, but that is 802 people that got to see God in [...]
