Earlier this month Jina Bolton wrote “Writing an Interface Style Guide” at A List Apart, and if you have responsibility for your church Web site you should click over to it, read it and bookmark it.
She wants to spare your beautiful site from disintegrating from a thousand little degradations and so do I. If you [...]
I’m excited about the same-sex couples in California that can marry, as I was excited for those in Massachusetts. While we don’t have legal same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia, our domestic partnership laws really pretty good, so that gives me hope that D.C. might recognize a foreign marriage, if not pass an equitable [...]
I’ve been writing on and off about Skype, the Internet telephony service, for about three years. I’m trying it again because it turns out my brother and father use it, and I’m not about to be left out.
Of course, I feel a little bad because it isn’t free software, but I’ll learn it first and [...]
Slugging — a uniquely Washington, D.C. suburbs way of informal carpooling — was featured tonight on G Word, a show on the Planet Green cable channel. (It is also one of the better shows on the channel, which is much too absorbed with twee and fundamentally fake green habits by people with more money [...]
The Mozilla Foundation is try to break a 24-hour software download world record — or rather, establish a mark — with its release of the newest version of its browser: Firefox 3. Having used it a while, I really like it.
Ubuntu Linux users have been getting updates of the preliminary versions (release candidates) and [...]

Oremus, an Anglican worship site, has a great service — let’s call it a cousin to URL [...]
To think, Hubby and I could be getting married in California about now.
But would our marriage be recognized back in the District of Columbia? I think that needs to be addressed. Or perhaps not addressed, but forced.
I’ll buy the argument that nothing substantive will be done until the next Congress, but the time to [...]
I’ve made it plain that I’m not thrilled by the newest UUA Web site. For one thing, I think it’s hard to navigate, but rather than grouse I thought I’d add some “folk navigation.” Each time I find a resource at UUA.org that I think core stakeholders need, I’ll point it out. This is the [...]
I got a notice “over the transom” about Ballou, A Documentary Film. That’s Ballou Senior High School here in Washington, D.C. and not one of the famous Universalists. In particular, the film is about the effect the school’s band makes to its students, who live in some of D.C.’s most troubled neighborhoods.
It starts screenings this [...]
