The Favor Of God: Technology

- I was given a full-sized, L-style desk (see picture below). This has been vital in allowing me to spread out my materials and sort through ideas on the ample desk space.

- I was given a Dual Processor 500Mhz G4 Tower, as well as a 21″ monitor. Both free.

- I was given a fax machine. (Makes it quite a bit easier to have Non-Disclosure Agreements returned to me. Faster than snail mail.)

- I was given a sub-compact mini-laptop. (An NEC MobilePro 780, see below.) It’s basically a keyboard and a half-sized monitor that folds into a nicely compact, portable unit. This has been instrumental in allowing me to write anywhere and anytime, utterly free of distractions and temptations that a full laptop comes with. This is also why I’ve been able to write so many blog entries lately. And since a large part of what God’s calling me to do these days is through written communication, this thing is a LIFESAVER.

- I was given an iPhone over Thanksgiving. Not sold. GIVEN. For FREE. People give away dogs. They give away old clothes. They give away underwear. They do NOT give away iPhones. If that‘s not the direct Favor of God, what is? But this is also incredible in terms of timing, because since this gift God has led me to pursue iPhone & iPod Touch applications as my first foray into licensing. So not only is it just nice to have, but it’s also integral in helping me accomplish what God wants me to do at this point in time. (I  CANNOT understate how cool it is to know you’re working in God’s will, and with His supernatural blessing. I wouldn’t have it any other way.)

- I was later given an iPhone Case as well (a nice rubber one I was hoping for!)
