Today is my birthday and my wife always wonders what to get me. She likes to take the "surprise" approach and get me something I wasn't expecting. Surprises are good, but I'm a more practical kind of guy. She was going to surprise me with an ancient coin she had found on the internet. This would have been a wonderful gift. Ever since we went to the Holy Land I have been wanting to do some coin/artifact collecting. But recently I found something I have been really wanting that would be a real practical help for me in school and ministry. It is a computer program called "book collector". It enables me to scan the isbn number on the cover of my books and build my own library database complete with dewey decimal numbers and everything. I know you may be saying "what?'. But it really is the perfect gift for anyone who has a lot of books, especially a preacher!
I downloaded the software this morning and ordered my scanner. I have already been inputing some of my books manually (this will be much easier when my scanner comes). Although she feels a little down because she didn't get to surprise me, I love my present!
