The LDS church has created an exciting new official website for LDS technology at ldstech.lds.org . Not only does it have information about upcoming technology use in the church, but it sports a forum where those interested in technology and the church can participate and interact.

They are also holding a free Tech Talk in Provo on Tuesday January 23rd for system engineers, software developers and testers, interaction designers, and other techies to discuss how the church uses technology to build the kingdom.

Over time I run into links that I would like to blog about but don’t find the time. So here is a random list of timewasters and interesting links that I would have blogged about had I had the time:

1. Wordy
Wordy is a fascinating and addictive online macromedia flash game that combines the classic word-finding game Bloggle with the falling tile action of Tetris.

Brother Larry Richman is the director of the Internet Coordination Group for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has started a blog called ldsWebguy. While not officially sponsored by the church, if you want some insight into how the church is using the Internet, and even more importantly, if you want to learn about what you can do to use the Internet to help build the kingdom, go check it out.

I helped found the Maxed Out Puppet Comedy Troupe about seven years ago, and have been performing puppetry ever since. We performed two holiday shows on Saturday, and another one last night.

It is always fun to see what other people come up with in the realm of puppetry. Sometimes real people can be used as puppets.
