I thought that I should post the current & definitive list of where to get stuff here so it can be updated and 'always' available for those who, like me, keep forgetting where they put such a list. I will add categories as I find the time. If you find that any of these are duds, please let us know!We take no responsibility for the actual content. If one of these sites posts something that you

Hi All,I know most of us are choosing to put stuff on our own websites/blogs and using the egroup to spread the word or ask/discuss questions but I thought it worth seeing if anyone might still be inspired to update our blog...I'm adding here, the Google Earth Prayer we used at the biennial Uniting Church youth event NCYC09 CONVERGE!!We basically used brown paper one day to collect prayers from

Tex Sample has a new book called Powerful Persuasion.

I've recently converted my father and his church's old computer network to Open Office, it wasn't hard to do, the words "free" and "legal" really help, and since it's a phenomenal piece of software in it's own right it's a good move for anyone who is sick of the microsoft "intuative" software. Software should never be intuative, it should do what I tell it to do and as fast as I want it to, not

Highway Video have been producing Christian video material for quite a while, and their scope and range keeps expanding. They currently have a free video download called Jesus Vs.

Well I've just been to a day with Doug Fields from Saddleback and about 450 youth leaders and workers and a few clergy types. It was hosted by our synod's youth ministry centre which is based in a congregation.Doug is a great communicator and I think was good for many youth leaders. Not surprisingly I didn't agree with everything and at times felt that I had a very different framework, yet at the

This last week has seen the launch of Blogger's simple approach to adding imagery to their blogs. Up to now it's meant finding somewhere else to host the pictures. Picasa's software, "Hello" does the job nicely and is free. But there's still the pain of transferring html from one post to another. And it was limited to jpg files. But now it's a snap to upload jpgs, gifs, bmps, and tifs from the

Finally got to see the movie, "Saved" last night. Our kids are at an 'middle of the road' Evangelical Christian high school so they were intrigued with the presentation of stereotypes of tryhard evangelists in the school context. We had an atheist school friend over. He was full of questions all the way through. He hadn't been exposed to a culture of exorcism, hard-sell evangelism or cliched

Marc Perkel is spending US$2000 in the hope of ensuring the result of next week's presidential election. Not by buying expensive TV adverts (something that would cost much more than US$2000) but by offering Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 for free download from his site, in the hope that watching it will encourage people to vote against George W. Bush. And at least half of his hope has

From 2001 - 2003, Cafechurch employed a digital artist, Rick Bull, who produced animations - prayers, scripture passages, visualised themes. They have been using these as a regular part of their worship. Think of them as contemporary

Just found some great caches of high quality digital photographs provided free by Canon. There's an excellent section on Uluru. Also - nice pics of flowers and fruit, animals etc. Canon Digital Photo Gallery - Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Some time ago, FractalDesign (who created "Painter" - at least i think it was them - now owned by Corel) put out a wonderful program called Painter - a 'natural media' painting program. Then FractalDesign became MetaCreations... They also put out "Expression" which was a vector painting program. Imagine being able to paint a brush stroke on computer and have the stroke as vector art rather than

Martyn Bennett "Bothy Culture" A couple of years ago, Martyn Bennett released a rather indescribable album called "Bothy Culture" - a collection of folk music blended with all kinds of stuff - beats, spoken voice and goodness knows what else. Great and challenging to listen to. And it was recorded at "Mouth Music Chip Shop" - what a great name. A bit like the Afro Celts but much more

I thought I'd post some previous posts and pages from http://www.missionresourcing.net.au while we get up and running! The Internet has quite a number of sites where you can download royalty-free images for personal and/or non-commercial use. Here are some of them. Please note that the photo quality varies. You need to check the usage conditions for each site. Go to the Mission Resourcing

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this blog is for, but since Craig invited me, it can't simply be to share expertise... I feel a bit of an intruder on the multimedia stage (I joined the youth multimedia egroup mostly for the recipes). I don't know how to do much, and I have hardly any equipment, but I love the idea of it, and I love playing, and I'm so inspired by what others do, and I'm

well, i have plans for something more permanent, so here's a temporary home for some stuff related to the "youthmultimedia" egroup - which is not just about "youth". What is "youthmultimedia"? It's an egroup I started 3 1/2 years ago. The "official" description is this... "Use of Multimedia with Young People in Christian Education, Worship and Mission. Members include ove 100 pastors, youth

Faithless Mass Destruction EP Well today I bought the "Mass Destruction" EP and album "No Roots" by Faithless. The EP has the video clip for "Mass Destruction". P>The clip is a provocative statement about the evils of war, racism, misinformation and fear as weapons of 'mass destruction", and features chilling black and white footage of British school children acting out 'prisoner of war' scenes.

Well, this is my first post to this meta-blog, thankyou to Craig for Inviting me to join. The first post I'll put to this link is something that Craig actually put together a while ago that I think should be on this blog. Lets call it "YouthandMultimedia Tip 1.0" "Digital video is a major issue to understand and use. I've been trying for about 7 years now and I still get stuck. Usually people
