Bible Bookmarklet (updated)

UPDATE: I have updated the links so they will search either passages of Scripture OR keywords. Highlight a word and click the bookmarklet now to search the Bible for that word. Highlight passages and click the link to look them up.

Note on updating: You’ll have to delete the old bookmarklet and drag a new copy up to your favorites bar to gain the new functionality.

Hey Team,

I haven’t written anything on here in a LONG time, but I have a little something to share today.

I am a huge fan of bookmarklets. In fact, I’m sort of passionate about them. I have a whole folder of bookmarks in my browser that is just filled with bookmarklets. Recently, I’ve come across a need for a new bookmarklet that looks up bible references on web pages and I thought I’d try my hand at creating one of my own. So I did.

Here’s what it does: If you see a Bible reference that you want to look up, you can select it and click the bookmarklet and it will open up the passage on Bible Gateway. If you don’t have anything selected, it will ask you what you want to look up. Pretty simple.

Here it is (drag this to your bookmarks toolbar):

Bible Link (opens in the same window/tab)

Bible Link (opens in new window/tab)

It works only in Firefox and the webkit browsers (Chrome and Safari). Sorry IE users, you’re not my target audience.

For a test, you can highlight this passage and click the bookmarklet: John 3:16

My First jQuery Plugin

Let’s cut to the chase: I wrote my first jQuery plugin!
Check it out!
I have written some scripts that I have used across various projects I’ve worked on. I have thought frequently about making them into actual plugins, but until now have not done so. It was pretty easy and kind of fun.
This plugin shows a [...]

Aging, The Future, and Hope

I’m 24 and I’ll be 25 within the year. I’m young but I am beginning to sense the effects of aging. “College kids” are beginning to seem young to me; high schoolers seem foreign; my body is softer than I remember; my muscles weaker. Not really a big deal, but it’s forcing me to come [...]

Design Update!

Hello,
It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything on here. I’ve been pretty busy with all of life’s demands, which isn’t bad, but I haven’t written very much.
Part of the reason for my lack of writing is because ever since I put together my previous design, I haven’t really been pleased with it. [...]
