Here It Is. The New Site.

Revamping, shifting gears, saying goodbye….

So, is the Blog dying? turinsblog. I made up that name in 2007, when I was in the midst of a Tolkien craze. That was back when blogging was still cool, and people read what each other was saying even if it were more than 140 characters. As time moved on, and as we evolved […]

glorifying God through your iOS

This Holiday season saw a 148% increase in activations of iOS and Android devices over the same time last year.
