Texas churches seeing sermons on HDTV
Around this time last year, we were all caught up in the drama unfolding between the NFL and Fall Creek Baptist Church, but this time, it doesn't seem as if any place of worship is being smitten for showing the big game on a big screen. Rather, a pastor down in Texas is utilizing HD (and IP) technology to beam himself (and his sermons) to satellite churches around the area in real-time. Apparently, the signal from an HD camera and two other cams zoomed in on his face are zipped around to other auditoriums and churches in the area, which prevents individuals that live further away from having to make a lengthy drive, yet still gives them the ability to interact with other congregation members. Unfortunately, we've no idea if the pastor in question is being seen simultaneously in 720p, 1080i or 1080p, but regardless, let's hope he's wearing some form of HD makeup for everyone's sake, eh?[Image courtesy of KIR]
Wii Warm Up: Preaching the word of Wii
One of the Wii's most striking achievements to date has been its ability to draw in those who previously couldn't give two hoots about gaming. Whether they're young, old, or older, Ninty's console has its fair share of gaming converts.Today, we want to hear about those conversions. Have any of you personally managed to convince family or friends to embrace videogames through the power of Wii? We want to hear about how your Aunt Ethel now plays Metroid, or how your grandfather dabbles in Zack & Wiki. More to the point, we want to know how you got the message across, and brought them over to the light side.Maybe you're even reading this as a fresh, wide-eyed convert yourself, in which case, tell us about what won you over!
