Weigh In

I’m using Flock Browser now (www.flock.com), which is great considering all my social media accounts. Should help me stay dialed in, so to speak. I’ll let you know soon whether it’s the best thing ever. Basically, in the sidebar, I have access to all my status update thingies — twitter and facebook, for instance, [...]

New face in my blogosphere

I was poking around a bit for info on a certain guilty pleasure I have (fashion-related reality shows on Bravo TV) and found this writer in another corner of the blogosphere—Jendi Reiter. She has this one piece called Jesus Won’t Make Me a Supermodel, which struck me as interesting: she makes a connection between the [...]

Bad day for the in-box

I so suck at cleaning out my inbox, but this was kinda funny. Like I should play the lotto or something, but I think that counts as selling one’s soul. Either way, it’s a bit disturbing. [I mean, who else has more than 450 drafts?]

Lenten offerings

Change always seems to accumulate in weird places for me, most often next to the washing machine (cause I always clear out pockets there) and on my dresser (because sometimes I remember to empty my pockets before they go to the laundry). So DFH (whom I’m happy to report has redeemed himself verily after [...]

Oh, so that’s what you wanted!

I got a significant number of hits from people looking for liveblogging on the Diocese of Virginia annual council. That cinches for me something I've been toying with for a while now–blogging about the Diocese as a complement to what I do for the Episcopal Cafe. It's a new direction for me, as I'm much [...]

this one’s for mike and company

There were a whole bunch of clergy attending the emerging church discussion group and I think out of the people there I had the most experience in it. Mike, you’re so much more well versed in it as a whole–would you be willing to post a comment with links that the clergy I then pointed [...]

a time to blog

So…
Should I come back? I brought back one of my oldest netmonikers, one that’s painfully ireverrent, the predecessor of deviathan. If you’re a reader of that spot, well, you’ve also likely noticed my silence here.
I’m venturing out shyly, nervously, because I’ve been feeling a lot of pain these past several weeks in a bad [...]

Faithy typos

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?

Truelove for President: The Average American Project

This is only a test

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 [...]

In which I become a famous blogger. Sort of.

Cartoon by Dave Walker. Find more cartoons you can freely re-use on your blog at We Blog Cartoons.
Seems fitting to find this the same day that I’m starting to show up in places like this.

Writing for social media

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 [...]

In lieu of content

I made a new South Park icon thingie.

NOW what?

Progressive Pragmatist just sent me this link:

http://mais.gmu.edu/religion.html

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 [...]

Multiblogger?

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 [...]
