Merrill From Madison (Well, soon)

Not me really. The stick figure shown is of a winged ox with ear buds and microphone.

My Blog

Facebook

I'm learning about facebook. It's confusing because I don't know my way around the site and I'm not very familiar with social media. Jay gave me some pointers which help a lot.

Facebook is one of those sites which can be accessed and reviewed fairly easily with text messaging. I haven't paid for unlimited text messaging but I'm thinking about it because it would be so simple to do as long as I don't have hundreds of messages. I've never been that popular.

I keep pushing the bounds of my own technical expertise. I say this on a day when I am using my desktop PC with a failing hard drive and my laptop is in the shop because it wouldn't boot up. Thank heavens for my pocket PC.

Dear Merrill,

I tried facebook and couldn’t get in because I use a screen reader and when registering, I was asked to repeat the numbers I saw, which the screen reader didn’t read. They had a sound feature but I couldn’t hear the numbers very well. How did you get around this?

Sincerely,
Abbie

Blogging on the Go

I wanted to blog on the go with my mobile phone and wanted a blog with a rich content feed. Blogger seemed the best answer to this desire. (This is not a rich content feed.) So I read the directions and sent off an email to blogger as described. Lo and behold: I have a mobile blog. For reasons I explain there, I have kept its funky address. Visit it at http://soxbus837.blogspot.com/ I intend to post there at least daily.

Writer

I fancy myself to be a writer. I don't give this the time it would take to become a really good writer. At present, I am writing episodes of a fantasy novel called Operatorion Solp. Episodes follow in audio.

Podcast Producer

I currently serve as Associate for Internet Ministries at ST. Luke’s Church in Jamestown, New York. My responsibility is to take recorded content and make it available as a podcast. This requires a certain amount of technical expertise. Since May 1, 2007, I have been posting sermons and other church content to the Internet Archive and the podcast blog.

From the beginning, I have introduced the sermons by summarizing the relevant scriptural texts for the listeners and describing any circumstances which influence the preaching. After each sermon, I leave the listener with a thought from the sermon.

I have encouraged the senior pastor to think more broadly about the podcast content. Now the podcast includes adult forums, educational programs, interviews and on-the-scene reports.

I do not edit sermons except when off-the-cuff remarks are particularly focused on congregational matters and would be incomprehensible to people not present or intimately knowledgeable about the congregation itself. Other recordings need more editing to maintain confidentiality or tidy up audio.

When possible, I provide links in the blog posts to resources the speaker or I have identified for further study.

I have identified a file sharing solution to enable the senior pastor and me to share recorded content without sharing hardware such as recorders, memory sticks and DVDs.

I have met the challenge to provide ways for a variety of internet users to access the podcasts. In addition to high quality audio provided in an RSS enclosure, I stream the audio and provide a small zipped download for those using dialup connections.
From time to time I have been called upon to bridge the gulf between Anglican theology and my Protestant stance and between what is said casually in a podcast and what I hold to be sound pastoral care..

I have come to believe a church podcast producer is not only a technophile, but a Minister of the Gospel. pastoring, teaching and evangelizing an unseen community of internet listeners.

My Dog

My dog is a three-year-old yellow Labrador retriever named Elwood. I didn’t name him. The name does grow on you though. He is my second dog. We trained together at The Seeing Eye in December, 2006. His personality and style is quite different from my first dog, Caitlin, a chocolate lab. I blog about our adventures at http://merrillnelwood.livejournal.com/I don’t update this blog on a regular basis, just when I have something of interest to report. I did update it most days while we were in class together.
