The blog matured, but I still didn’t post much. And software failings left some posts lost forever, including earlier installments of my Universalist quotation series. (See Transient and Permanent for a new series of Universalist quotations.)
Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round

Blog in review: July-September 2003
Ubuntu Linux 8.04 is here
I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux as my operating system of choice since 2004, and upgraded to the newest version (technically the release candidate) yesterday, also known as “the Hardy Heron”. The proper release is today, and if you’ve never used Linux, I hope you give it a try. It isn’t a radical improvement over the [...]
Blog in review: May and June 2003
These are some of my earliest posts, when I only wrote once or twice a week and editing the HTML by hand! Yet there are some enduring bits and pieces . . . .

I never thought so many people would take an interest in this humble blog. Thank you.
Some [...]
Epiphany browser fix
I love the Firefox browser — in theory. It’s free and open-source. It’s got tons of extensions . . . and that’s part of the problem. My former favorite browser is a terrible memory hog, at least on the (ahem) low-end machines that I can’t get enough of.
Better to use the browser developed for, [...]
“A History of Universalism in North Carolina”
Today I received an unexpected parcel from Peggy Ward Rawheiser, a well-known figure in heritage Universalist circles: her new revision of the classic A History of Universalism in North Carolina. I’m quite pleased to receive it. (Thank you.)
At first I thought I would review it in full, but since it functions more like a sourcebook [...]
Should I have bought bell-bottoms?
Between rice rationing (purchasing restrictions at one store, really) in California and news of gasoline lines (and more widespread purchasing restrictions) in Britain, plus a flagging economy, well, makes everything seem very 1970s.
Should I swap my computer for a CB radio? (Solar powered, of course.)
So a question for the assembled wisdom. What 1970s musical standard [...]
The Day Job
Let me tell you about where I work, and why it matters to you, my dear readers.
It isn’t a secret that I work, as the administrator, for the Sunlight Foundation, which has
the goal of using the revolutionary power of the Internet and new information technology to enable citizens to learn more about what Congress and [...]

I mark my fifth blogging anniversary on May 22. Between now and then, I will be going quarter by quarter a pointing out the best resources and (if I may be immodest) the best writing.

Reader’s question: Where to get the 1941 prayerbook?
A reader asked where he might get a copy of the 1941 Universalist prayerbook. This is how I replied:
The 1941 (and lesser known 1943 Harrisville, R.I. prayerbook) were simply abridgments of the 1894 servicebook, with the 1935 Washington Avowal in place — in the appendix — of the Winchester Profession and a new introduction by [...]
