Here's a couple of Catholic blogs with some northern Michigan ties that are both well written and highly entertaining. Check them out!
Stella Maris
If you are in the Petoskey, Michigan area anytime soon, make sure you stop and visit the The Marian Center in Joy Valley. Josh and Lori Mercer have worked hard by hosting conferences, publishing a Catholic newspaper and running a Catholic bookstore. Here's what the Marian Center is all about...
The mission of the Marian Center is to spread the teachings of the Catholic Church by hosting conferences, publishing The Morning Star newspaper six times a year, operating a Catholic bookstore, and maintaining the Holy Grounds of the Marian Center in Petoskey, Michigan, with its Grotto of the Archangels, Tomb of the Unborn Child and Reliquary of the Twelve Apostles.
We were there a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the hike through the woods with the Stations of the Cross and a stop at the Tomb of the Unborn Child. The kids had a blast looking at all the statues, especially the Grotto of the Archangels. Help Josh and Lori with their mission!
Turning Towards The Lord
Jeremy Priest is a Campus Minister in Detroit, Michigan who started his blog and named it Turning Towards the Lord because...
For a couple of reasons...1st because I know that it is only in turning toward Him that I find salvation; 2nd in order to honor His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, who has been my great teacher these past ten years and has repeatedly brought me to my knees in prayer ad orientem through his books, articles, and talks.
Jeremy has posted lots of great info on the new Latin Mass and what it all means!
I just had a client email me about possible internet fraud so I thought I would pass this link on.
Internet Fraud Information at USA.gov
Lots of scammers are using the internet to try to steal identities, banking info, passwords, etc., and you can use this page to learn more about some of the signs to watch for and help protect yourself.
One tip I try to tell clients and friends is to never click links recieved in your email to PayPal, eBay, your credit cards, banks, etc., just go to your web browser and type it in. That's the safest way to go!
Any questions or concerns just drop me an email jeremy@steckle.com.
Some new technology might help with that, plus, with the added benefit of additional security. The new 3D DeskCam from Bioscrypt will scan your face to use as your password, token, or smart card.
The camera uses about 40,000 identification points, looking primarily at a person's forehead, eye sockets and nose bridge, said Ryan Zlockie, director of product management at Bioscrypt. The facial-recognition system has passed tests with identical twins and professional face molds, Zlockie said. A person registered with facial hair who subsequently shaves doesn't have to be reregistered, but somebody who undergoes plastic surgery does, he said.
It's expected to be released in the second half of the year or early next year to consumers.

My friend David pointed me to an article about Cardinal Justin Rigali and his video "Living Lent: The First Sunday" that is posted on YouTube. I just love how the internet gives so many different opportunities for people to get there message out. And as a Catholic, I love seeing Cardinals, Bishops and Priests take advantage of the technology.

I use Google for everything - email, word processing, scheduling, spreadsheets, notes, chatting, etc. So needless to say I am excited. Here's the facts...
The new Google Apps Premier Edition costs $50 per user account a year. It includes around-the-clock telephone support, and 10GB of storage per user compared with 2GB. The new edition also includes a guarantee of 99.9 percent uptime for Gmail and application programming interfaces that businesses can use to migrate data, enable single sign-on and do other integration. A free version targeted at educational institutions, Google Apps Education Edition, offers the same features as the premier edition except for the storage size. There is also Google Apps Standard Edition, which is free, but lacks the features of the premier edition.
10 GB is sweet! 99.9% uptime is nice, but I honestly haven't ran into any point where I remember Gmail being down for more than 2 minutes. If you haven't tried Gmail yet, seriously do it, if you need an invite let me know!
