Attack of the Giant Fonts?

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

How does the blog look now? Please note your operating system and browser, and if it seems freakishly large or normal.

Northern New England districts to consolidate

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

With the departure of the Canadian congregations to make the Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) autonomous, I think UUA watchers suspected it was just a matter of time before some of the northerly US districts started merging.

GA 2008: Seafarer’s House

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

If there’s a local ministry we can look to helping at the 2008 GA, perhaps this is the one, very near the Convention Center

Seafarer’s House

“Why Starr King?”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

This may be my Southern and East Coast associations showing, in my twenty-plus years of being a Unitarian Universalist, Starr King School for the Ministry has always been “that school.” You know, the funny one. The one with a penchant for curly, spirally graphics. The one that’s so serious about language — remember the […]

GA 2008: It’s an open smile on a friendly shore

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

So it looks like the Fort Lauderdale convention center — home of GA 2008 — faces petroleum tanks. Who cares? The rear looks towards the port, where the cruise ships dock. That’s encouraging, right?

New theme trials

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I’ve had this blog theme for a year and a half, perhaps more. I’m going to try a few themes live and see what I like. Some links, features and other tidbits may not work when I install them and I’ll only make fixes if I think I have a semi-finalist.

Feel free to comment.

GA 2008: Convention center!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I thought, “Why wait to look into GA 2008? After all, I might attend that one.”  There’s a direct rail connection from Washington to Ft. Lauderdale — tres, tres green — and you’d think the hospitality industry would make it a delightful stay.

I might be very wrong. (Google maps, hybrid view) I doubt those round […]

Rivalry and the fate of the Affiliates

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I think “LT” at thelivelytradition is working in the right direction in his series on UUA independent affiliate situation. A lot of email is being spilled on this subject.

Start reading here and keep going until its done. I’ll pick up the theme myself later.

Lunch is over; back to work.

The return of the notebook

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I thought I was going to ruin Ms. Theologian’s day when I wrote at her blog (Surviving the Workday) that her dear Moleskine notebooks — despite protesting they’re “designed in Italy” — are in fact made in China. She has been very keen to avoid buying anything made in China and for good reason. (I […]

A step closer to global peer-to-peer help

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Every day, central authorities loose a little more power. Whether their power was delegated or co-opted, we needed them to make decisions because there was no way to organize mass, non-local movements on a peer basis. Every day, technological improvements and personal attitudes lower the barrier to peer-to-peer information sharing, product production, collective action […]
