I will not talk about nasty-mouthed DJs who seem to continually justify my satellite radio subscription and MP3 player. I suspect “garbage in, garbage out” applies to radio so I would rather build myself up on journalists who do the profession proud.
Gwen Ifill is the reason, even now more than Jim Lehrer whom I also […]
I’ve been reading essays from the Right Rev. Pierre Whalon since before he was consecrated to be the bishop of the Convocation of American Churches in Europe. He makes a lot of sense, avoiding obtuse jargon and by keeping to a middle course. His “A Bishop’s Estimate of the Situation,” published at Anglicans Online doesn’t […]
Londoners and visitors — whether or not they go to Sloane Square — can turn to a new site — walkit.com — for detailed point-to-point walking directions, calorie burnings and CO2 savings. Sometimes walking is faster and more convenient than public transit or even taxis.
The BBC has a 2006 story on it, too.
There’s less […]
Steve Caldwell (Liberal Faith Development) is using Ubuntu Linux to record his church’s services and he’s not alone. I’ll use it at home again after the new version comes out on April 19. I suspect others do and will too.
Broadening it out a bit, which Unitarian Universalists use Linux? Possibility for a common project? Comment […]
About a year ago, I noted a silk screen printing primer, hoping that this would inspire banner- and sign-maker. (Better than an illegible attempt with a felt-tipped marker.)
This time, I have a simpler resource, good for t-shirts and perhaps also for cloth trade show exhibiting elements, like banners and table drapes. Why trade shows? […]
One of the lower moments in recent Unitarian Universalist history was when a few years ago Massachusetts Blue Cross/Blue Shield dropped the UUA’s group plan. By that point it had gotten rather expensive and the few that remained — so I heard; I could be wrong — were those higher-needs persons who could not be […]
Steve Caldwell (Liberal Faith Development) notes how Wikipedia, not UUA.org is the first Google link for the search “unitarian universalism.”
Makes me think, seeing as I have unitarianuniversalist.org, I should do something with it.
I grabbed it because the UUA hadn’t (even though it grabbed URLs corresponding to the predecessors of the UUA, following the […]
Apart from having a lively discussion with Hubby after church (and over a lamb curry) about the propriety of clapping in worship, I’m not feeling gung-ho about discussing Easter theologically. I’ve done that before and shall again. I suppose I was expecting too much of worship and the iffy sermon left me underfed, even as […]
The Washington Post today ran a wire story about Helvetica’s fiftieth anniversary. It is hardly my favorite typeface — I’m more of a Frutiger lad — but because of its endemic use and particularly in the local Metro system for waymarking, I think of this Swiss import as ours. Local yet universal. Perhaps I should […]
A few days ago, Andrew Sullivan quoted an Orthodox chanted litany of a monk condemned to a Soviet gulag.
It sounds like the words I imagine the apostles sang on Holy Saturday and the prayers of people lost in great suffering.
