Today has been designated as National Coming Out Day.
There’s been so much going on recently in the media and social media about gay bishops in the Church of England.
This seems to me to say it in a more elegant way than all the letters to the press, editorials, blog posts and twitter posts by the score.
Variously:
Google Sky;
Either Catch(.com) or Springpad (see springpadit.com – currently preferred);
Handcent (SMS);
FBReader or Aldiko (eBook readers);
Wikitude / Layar (augmented reality);
Connectbot (ssh client);
MyTracks (GPS tracking on steroids), Foursquare;
AppBak (save/restore lists of things installed);
Advanced Task Killer (kill processes).
Welcome aboard 🙂
Thanks Tim. I found google sky already. Indeed, it was one of the things that persuaded me.
Now I can see the constellations in the city! Indeed, now I can see the constellations in my bedroom.
SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.
Enjoy the ‘phone!
Lifehacker is always a good source of info for these things.

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!
I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.

I do hope I’m not the only one getting “Spy on your boyfriend” ads! 😉
Android? Data (trekkie pun intended) could be lost. See story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12138790 Good luck.
I see no ads, which beats the Scientology ads that I used to see!
I have nothing to ad because Padre has forbidden it.
Snap! I got mine just before Christmas.

They go around several churches and then invite the preacher into their class which takes place later in the week to discuss what happened. I…
I managed to resist the temptation to preach on the text, “Lazarus, Come Out!” this morning. Instead, here is what I did say: I want to begin this morning, not with a story, but with a stained glass window. It isn’t a window in this building. No, it is in the place where I first…
I spent part of this afternoon at the 25th anniversary of Glasgow SPRED. Know what that is? I certainly didn’t, but I do now. It is an initiative in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese and it was lovely to spend the afternoon in the company of the RC Church at its best. To be precise, the…
One of the things that I have to be aware of at St Mary’s is that there are always quite a lot of people there who have not come from an Episcopal background. That means that when it comes to festivals, there are folk who don’t know what to expect. (Former Roman Catholics are exceptions.…
