When I was at Day Job Convention, I looked up this blog just one time to stroke my ego that anyone cared while I was away. To my horror — using Windows Internet Explorer, my only option — there was an implementation bug that made this blog look awful. That’s what I get for being [...]
My head’s not all back from my Day Job Convention — where I ran the Day Job Association Bookstore — but what I saw in Pittsburgh might be of interest to some Unitarian Universalists. The new convention center is the only one to have the LEED Gold rating as a green building. They make great [...]
OK, I know that the Episcopal Church is in a lather, and that plans are amuck for the conservatives to pull out the Episcopal Church, try to get the property, and set up a province in communion with Canterbury (leaving the Episcopal Church in the cold.) I’ve not seen much about the rollback resolution B033 [...]
Rivka at Respectful of Otters has reviewed which Google searches pull up that blog highest by referring to the referal logs. That’s inspired me to do the same.

Troy Reeme at Open Source C[redit] U[nion] – oh the blogs I read! — reports that marketing guru Seth Godin kept calling the attendees of a major credit union conference “bankers.” Finally, one of the audience members rose and corrected him. .. Seth responded, “I’m a consumer. It doesn’t matter what you think. I think [...]

Liquor stores but no grocery stores came up. But nothing evoke hard choices and poverty like check-cashing shops and payday lenders: [...]
The Rt. Rev. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury (picture), has been a disappointing leader for many of the world’s Anglicans, left and right. But I’ll leave it to the Episcopalians to give him a boot in the cassock, particularly his handling of bishops who meddle in others’ jurisdictions. My beef with this learned cleric [...]
I will be out of town — Day Job’s convention — until June 28. I have some entries prepared for you, plus anything I can post while I’m away. Don’t want you to think I’ve forgotten you. Of course, some of y’all have a convention to attend, too. Share this article Hide Sites $$(‘div.d1508′).each( function(e) [...]
A quickie, as I’m getting ready to fly to Day Job Convention. The United Church of Christ offers this news story from the Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly about a “local option” plan for GLBT being admitted to positions of leadership.
