In this podcast we have a pair of interviews from SBL 2011. I met with the good folks at Accordance Bible Software and Olive Tree Bible Software, the two premier software applications for reading and annotating biblical and ancient texts on iOS devices and now…they are BOTH on the MacOS.

 

 

Insuring Intelligence

The human race is the smartest life form on the plant Earth. To some that statement is simple fact and to others it sounds incredibly arrogant. Yet no one can deny the progress we’ve made scientifically in the last few centuries and with breakthrough technologies emerging quicker and quicker, very few claim to know where we are going.

However I claim to know where we should go and that place is outer space. So much of our science fiction draws upon the possibilities of what we could find beyond our own atmosphere. For example in Escape Pod 309: The Insurance Agent a significant portion of humanity had come to believe that intelligence beings come from somewhere other than Earth to embody the influential members of the human race such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Jean D’arc, Elvis, and Madonna.

I hope you will enjoy this particular story, but if you like SciFI at all, be sure to give Escape Pod a listen.

Over the next few days I will be posting the audio from the presentations in the SBL session “Blogger and Online Publication.” The second includes my presentation, the text of which can be found here, and a better title might have been, “Assessing Digital Biblical Studies.”

For those interested, the plugin is now working (or tell me if you don’t see the podcast below!) and I am using PowerPress by Blubrry. It seems to now be working well, but I do have some plugins that are conflicting. They are WP-Footnotes and WPTouch iPhone Theme. The good news is that the conflict is only with the initial embedding of the file URL in the post. Once I have published a post all is well. So I can still run my “conflicting” plugins and simply turn them all off, barring PowerPress, for those occasional times when I am uploading a podcast file.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the SBL paper, rough cut as it is.
