Can ministers see the future of the church?
Friday, April 25th, 2008I’m reading two works in tandom: Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations (you might have seen him on The Colbert Report earlier this month) and Yochai Benkler’s “Coase’s Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm” (The Yale Law Journal; full texts available through link). Both concern technology-empowered participation […]
Kiva milestone!
Monday, April 14th, 2008Persons, not institutions, link lenders and borrowers.
Distributed work to inspire
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Later. Saw “Naked Day”? — it’s been moved to April 9.
If someone asked to borrow your computer to conduct malaria research when you weren’t using it, would you? I think most people would, and you know I’m not speaking hypothetically. Indeed, if you say BBC World News tonight, you saw a feature story about it. […]
Oh dear, I’m now Twittering
Thursday, March 20th, 2008If you Twitter, look me up. (For those who don’t, think of it as ultra-short-format blogging.)
Share your links (’cause that’s how the Web works)
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Part of the benefit of the ill-named Web 2.0 shift is that
<ol>
the read-only web can now be both read and written (wikis, personal blogs, YouTube etc.) a great deal of its strength comes from networks and shared resources
Here’s one that’s easy to learn, use and share: del.icio.us, the link tagging service
Get a […]
Because the power of the Internet increases as people get connected . . .
Monday, March 10th, 2008. . . and because faithful people are more effective when connected freely, I’ve decided to take Michelle Murrain’s suggestion and install Flock, a social networking-empowered web browser, based on Firefox.
To tell you the truth, Firefox has gotten so bloated lately that I was looking for other options, at least for occasional use. Like her, […]
Saviour of All Fellowship’s gentle ministry
Sunday, February 24th, 2008I’m always happy when I get an envelope of newsletters from the Saviour of All Fellowship. Even though you can read them online now — not always the case — there’s something about getting the letter. I need to put a check in the mail to them.
Each month is one side of a leaf (I […]
Wikipedia Day 2008
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Wikipedia, the community written and reviewed online encyclopedia, is seven years old today.
I think its value in collecting human knowledge is immense. (For as good as Google can be and for how much I use it, I’m a little chilled at its thrust towards amalgamating all data.) But it is more valuable being a […]
International meeting to use Skype
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Jaume de Marcos at his new blog UU Without Borders notes the UUA International Office is hosting a “Skypecast” — a multi-user audio chat using the Skype voice telegraphy software. I’ve never gotten much out of Skype personally, but if the bandwidth holds among the various participants, this might be a useful communication mode.
