For those of us that type a lot, it's weird: certain words come off your fingers naturally. For ages, I've mistyped "seminar" as "seminary." Always thought it was kinda Freudian.
Today I was typing "security" and "secular" came off my fingertips instead.
Do you guys have that problem?

I love the fact that I can run two browsers — in my case, firefox and camino — and have two separate google identities to keep all my social media stuff in one space, exurbanista, while the rest of my universe goes to the multi-identity playground serving several different domains of mine at realname. That [...]

I’ve rearranged my feedreader so that i have an a-list (read daily), a b-list (read weekly) and a c-list (read when I have time). it’s made it so much easier for me to keep up.
I have a separate category for the blogs I work for, which will help me stay up to date with them. [...]

DS asked about baptism today. Also asked how we wound up with 50 gazillion denominations of Christianity.
Fortunately, we were on a long drive and I’d just been listening to a medieval history that gave me a refresher on all the disagreements Christians were having long before we dreamed up the Reformation and the Renaissance.
Anyone have [...]

I’m in Philadelphia right now. It’s my home away from home, having lived here for five years. The best friends of my life are here, and this is the second year I’ve come up to spend my birthday with them.
So if you’ve written me email, and I haven’t replied, don’t worry. I’ll catch up [...]

Wah. I am starting to sound like a one-note flute sometimes, I guess, when I defend the fringes. But there is one place I’m hard and fast on when it comes to tradition, and that’s church music.
I love hymns and anthems, and I really should be in the choir, but EfM takes precedence right now [...]

I have a post up at today’s Daily Episcopalian. I have another being published tomorrow, that’s kinda sorta part two, and in it, I out a small percentage of the blogs I write at, when the spirit siezes me to do so.
Part one is here:What about Generation X? Cause quite frankly, I’m sick of that [...]

Because I come from a journalism background, I approach content management as a journalist. Not like a journalist, mind, but as one. And that’s a good thing, because part of my job is helping old-school journalists learn social media frames. But they have habits deeply ingrained, and trying to coach them into new media techniques [...]

Progressive Pragmatist just sent me this link:

And I about fell out of my seat. It has some the same problems as the MTS for me (i.e. funding it, whereas I have more options with the MPA), but it's at a state school within commutable distance, and given my vocation, seems potentially perfect. Maybe two [...]

I am a multiblogger. I have several blogs, the number of which that are active at any time depending completely on how much time I have to (a) generate content and (b) search the web for additional content. Each of my blogs has its own brand, and in many cases, my identity has its own [...]
