Who Knew Smartphones Had So Many Pros and Cons?!

Today was Who Knew Wednesday, and we shared pros and cons of smarts phones.

First, we shared a tip on how you can use your phone to scan and digitize old negatives. Here’s the info from PCMag on how to do that:

          Let’s start off by saying that this isn’t the best way to do this. PCMag’s resident photography           expert, Jim Fisher, recommends a Lomography orPlustek OpticFilm scanner if you want to             digitally capture your old negatives the right way. BUT, if you want a quick and dirty way to           digitize (or just view) your old film negatives, you can use your camera’s negative effect (as              seen above) or take advantage of some of the many specialized apps like the HELMUT Film            Scanner (available for Android).

We told you about deadwalking and p-phubbing, which you can read all about over here.

We also shared some other pros and cons that you can find over here.

Head over here to check out all the information on WinterJam 2016.

And click here to see the video of Crowder performing Lift Your Head Weary Sinner (Chains) with Tedashi.

Our Word of the Day was delectation, a noun meaning enjoyment or delight. You can read more on that here.

Have a great Wednesday evening!

Today was a packed full Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!

First, we told you all about how you can still register your pastor to win for the last week of Clergy Appreciation Month. Just head over here and tell us why you love your pastor.

We had a round of song poetry using these lyrics:

I wish you never thought you had to go
Wish you never thought you had to leave
Together we can lift each other up
We can build a shelter for the weak

Rob from Fredericktown called in and correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to Tenth Avenue North’s song No Man Is An Island.

We also told you about how you can pick up a doggy goody bag by emailing us a picture of your dog in his/her Halloween costume to wnzr@mvnu.edu. You can find out more information on that over here.

Mystery Monday – 10/19

We told you all about the Feel It, Film It contest, where you can enter to win 2 tickets to see TobyMac, Colton Dixon, Britt Nicole, and Hollyn. You can find all the details on that contest over here.
