And open — that is, non-proprietary — standards, too. No secret blend of herbs and spices here. We’d certainly no Web as we know it. Not even close.
Today is the sixteenth anniversary of the deed of software by CERN — “the supercollider people” — for the software that makes the Web work.
Here’s the “birth certificate“.

Without free software, there would have been no Web
Favorite travel paperbacks!
I’m soon to leave to fly to San Francisco, to attend NTEN’s NTC (Nonprofit Technology Conference). So, I’m taking books to read while travelling.
John Mortimer’s Rumpose of the Bailey (a re-read)
Carson McCuller’s The Ballad of Sad Cafe and Other Stories (long overdue)
The Church Hymnary, Third edition (Church of Scotland goodness)
These are small and easy [...]
Anglican chant: how to?
Does anyone know of a good resource — online video especially desired — about Anglican chant? Either a how-to (better) or an explanation?

Better hope for the Unitarian Universalists
The biggest cultural divide among Unitarian Universalists (it seems to me) is over the question of whether of our religious movement and institutions are inherantly healthy or not. I suppose the yes crowd is larger because the UUA culture is so hard to change, and leaving (or being quiet) is an easier option for the [...]
Nice thing from the Christian Scientists, part 2
Worth mentioning a few things Hubby and I saw at church last Sunday that I thought were very clever. Worth mentioning now since said church is more more likely than ever to be demolished.
No printed orders of service. Of course, why would a Christian Science service need them, seeing as they’re a regular as an [...]
New “Liberal Christian” issue
Not much there, but I said I’d put out an issue today and so I did.
I’ll be cultivating interested writers for the next number.

Bible marking tool from the Christian Scientists
While the Obamas went to services at St. John’s (Episcopal), Lafayette Square, Hubby and I went to Third Church of Christ, Scientist — a block north — for Easter services today. (Universalist tie-in: before they built this building, they owned the former Church of Our Father (Universalist), now demolished.)

I’ll later write about a [...]
“That I may seek that victory-beam”
I’ve written in 2004 and 2005 how I make a habit of reading The Dream of the Rood on Holy Saturday.
I wanted to note the translation I read today — by Jonathan Glenn, a professor at the University of Central Arkansas — for your convenience and edification.

CSS Naked Day!
Three posts in one day? Madness!
In case you were wondering, April 9 is also CSS Naked Day. So there’s a holiday for everyone!
What’s that?
The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good ‘ol play [...]
Against intinction
I just mentioned how I wasn’t feeling well. Looking back, I think whatever I have has been brewing since last Saturday, so I can’t blame a communion-based infection from church Sunday. But I still don’t like intinction.
This was in a “low church” congregation with a tradition — as evidenced by their pagoda-like communion ware — [...]
