CadreBible for Android Review

One of the biggest things I was looking forward to when I bought the Droid phone last year was a Bible app. I’ve generally got an hour on the bus each work day. Part of that time I dedicate to reading the Bible. I liked the idea of being able to not only read the Bible from a small, portable device, but also having study tools at my finger tips. The problem was, I couldn’t find any apps with good study tools.

I finally found one last fall that was what I was looking for:  CadreBible.  The app is free, though many of the Bibles you pay for.  I did buy the NASB with exhaustive concordance in order to cross reference from Strong’s numbers to original language dictionary. All in all it works great and allows me to take notes, bookmark, and highlight verses; download commentaries.

Colossal! Lego! Event!

Our church community group had some serious fun with Legos last week.  We dumped some (not all mind you) of our Legos in a big pile and let our imaginations loose.

This three wheeler was a bit of collaboration between Chief Engineer Anthony and myself. It turns out the thing I was building was a perfect body for his self-powered vehicle.

A few days later I modified his gear box, replacing it with a two-speed transmission.

Yes, that is a propeller on the back.
