Serious Moral Questions About the Obama Administration

Not that these questions are anything new, mind you. But they certainly don’t represent any hope for change.

Lord Please Don’t Burn Us

Recently I sat in a presentation by a friend of mine who spent some time talking about the “Meritocracy” approach to relationship with God.  This is the idea that doing things we think He will approve of will cause us to be looked upon with favor, whereas neglecting such things or (worse) doing things He [...]

What the Heck is a “Twitter”?

Even after Twitter’s exposure in the news over the last few months — Mumbai terror attacks, the plane landing in the Hudson, etc. — I still get asked this question by people still trying to figure out what Twitter is all about.

10 Amazing Years

And to think… she hasn’t ditched me, dissed me, or decapitated me!
Ten years ago today… well, I won’t get into the digestive system trouble I was experiencing — it was memorable, but only because of the mixture of excitement, anticipation, and anxiety over what was happening later…

Monty Python reacts… to Social Media!

And now for something completely different in the battle for copyright controls on YouTube… When all else fails, give the content away!

While the Python troupe aren’t the first to make this move, they just might be the funniest! In all seriousness, this is truly something that could only occur in the 21st Century.
