Wayne’s World
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008I am running a seminar called, for want of a better name, Wayne’s World. Basically it’s a ramble on all kinds of unrelated issues, a little bit on everything and a lot on nothing. I get phone calls or emails literally every day from friends in ministry, co-workers and even strangers, asking me all manner of technical questions, and this seminar is my FAQ. In 1 hour I am going to try to answer (almost) every question I have been asked. Of course, we will run out of time, so here the top 15 I was thinking of covering.
- Speech recognition on the Macintosh and PC does it work? Should I bother?
- How do I not wreck my battery? laptop, phone, camera, ipod, what’s the difference?
- Basic PA (what is a microphone, amplifier, speaker, and much should I spend on them?)
- What is a good powerpoint remote control?
- How do I plug my computer into a PA sounds system? (What is a DI box? What’s the difference between plugging in a computer or a microphone?)
- Podcasting - what it is and how do I do it?
- How do I record and compress a sermon for the web?
- Introduction to VOIP and why it sounds so bad so often.
- Using smartboards for School scripture.
- Putting video on the web or in keynote (what format, what quality, How to put a video on youtube)
- What is a continuous inking system on an inkjet printer?
To those people intending to enroll in my seminar. Which of these tickle your fancy? Which turn you off? What else would you like to know?
