File rescue with Ubuntu Linux

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

A word to my Windows-using readers. You know I love Linux, and use Ubuntu Linux at home and work. I hope you would give it a try but would understand if it doesn’t appeal to you, or (at least) you get enough value from a Microsoft product to stay put.
But there’s still a good reason [...]

“Freedom in Messiah”

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I found (refound?) an independent universalist theological site. It includes a number of classic texts that generations have known and loved, and some original articles by the site’s owner, Tony Pirog.

Thank you. We will remember you and Phyllis in our prayers.

The Sunday-only calendar

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

PeaceBang asked for a Sundays-only calendar template. Here’s my first draft: both as a PDF and ODS, the later a spreadsheet that can be read and written in Google Docs and OpenOffice.org.
(I have some liturgical calendars from prior years which need updating; I’ll add these, too, when I’ve edited them.)

What is our gospel?

Monday, August 25th, 2008

OK: I’ve asked before and I’ll surely ask again, but what is the “saving gospel” that I hear some Unitarian Universalists talk about? You know: the one “the world needs to hear.”
There’s something rather Rorschach test-like about it, in that the discussion of a gospel is in relation to the desirability for one. [...]

Cleaning up, finding resources and a Georgia resolution

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I’ve been in a blogging funk lately. I have a couple of big articles I can’t bear to write, a house that Hubby and I need to begin packing, and when all else fails, I’ll blame the Washington August malaise.
I have however, been cleaning out more than a decade of old floppies and CD-ROMs, with [...]

A different way: Union of Welsh Independents

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

There’s a certain place in the retelling of American Unitarian organizational history where the American Unitarian Association is revealed to have once been just an individual membership organization and not a fellowship of churches. (Indeed, I think the last of the life members died in the 1990s.)
Looking at the Web site of the Union [...]

Google Apps for nonprofits

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I now have several weeks’ experience with Google Apps — the suite of Google mail, documents and other tools using your own domain — in a nonprofit organization setting. Put mildly, I’m sold on it. (Though as a nonprofit, with an “educational” account, it is free of charge.) Email admin is easier and sharing [...]

Reading roundup: August 16

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Whew — five days without a blog post. I’ve been ill and Hubby and I are buying a condo, so you’ll excuse my absence. Working on a couple of larger posts, but I’ve also been reading widely and found a few things of interest on the ‘net worth sharing in the meantime.
I don’t follow 304 [...]

Blog in review: July 2006

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I know this review series is dragging a bit: I intended it as a fifth-anniversary special (in May) but there are some articles worth recalling. If I do say so.
