This morning I awoke to New Zealand earthquake news from perl-mongering twitterfriend @br3nda:"GAH.. EARTHQUAKE".She said it only "wobbled a few ornaments on the book shelf here," but her Wellington friend @doublesided was unhappily swaying to the tremblors on the ninth floor of a ten-story building.The quake was, as @br3nda said in the offhand way that I would have referred to the National

People do sometimes visit from abroad, where the health care systems are pervasively sane and humane, expecting the same here.Stephanie Jane Booth of Lausanne, Switzerland, blogged her SXSW encounter with the most ordinary of American health care in A trip to Walgreens.In response I wished Stephanie a friendly Welcome to my jungle.Health care concerns were still on my mind when I stumbled over

Sins and repentance found a better example in secular political activist and Harvard professor Samantha Power last week than in Southern Baptist Convention leader Dr. Richard Land, who claims special obligations and authority in that regard.Gwfrink3 called the difference Real and feigned repentance.Analyzing Clintonesque ruthlessness, Californian Karoli said Oops, Bill Clinton Forgot His Talking

My next-door neighbor Steve and I watched the total lunar eclipse together in downtown Raleigh last night.Actually, I was trying to catch glimpses of it through the low-hanging clouds and Steve came tapping up the sidewalk with his red-and-white-striped cane. So we just naturally started talking about why I was out there.A song my elder son once enjoyed was on earworm repeat-play in my right year

The parents of autistic and as a result mute thirteen-year-old Carly Fleischman rejected a recommendation that they give up.They rejected a recommendation that they institutionalize her, and triumphed.A CTV.ca News report on Sunday and an ABC News report on Tuesday detail how loving persistence was instrumental in a Carly's escape from the prison of mute autism.With intensive therapy, using

WSJ.com’s Kara Swisher maintains her poise in this interview with Facebook’s Owen Van Natta. If you listen, ear cocked for answers that fail to address the question asked, the interview is both enlightening and amusing:interviewI was regrettably humorless in my response to Steve Outing's smiling introduction to the same video.He offered a emoticon, for heaven's sake, and I still didn't get it.But

Apologies notwithstanding, Facebook user privacy remains at risk.Facebook user data is still silently collected at Facebook-affiliated sites, even if the user is logged out, and still sent back to Facebook.Facebook says very little is collected, and for users that are not logged in all data thus collected is deleted from their servers. They specifically assert:When a Facebook user takes a

To improve the readability of my prose and grow my audience, I have begun to make regular use of Flesh.I have written about Flesh in detail here.I'll be posting the two Flesh-generated scores for every post I write that is long enough to permit accurate calculation of them.Try it for a week or two and let me know what you think.

Not so far away in Greensboro, the Southern Baptist Convention is meeting so that messengers can settle some differences, do some business and elect some officers.That annual event is more on the Web this year than ever before. Much of what they're doing has been discussed, worked out and fought out in a year of blog discussions.All of this constructive and produtive effort was facilitated by Net

In the beginning, I created this account so that I could indicate with, I hope, some credibility that North Carolina's Biblical Recorder is called exactly that, and not "Baptist Recorder."As I proceeded, however, I was entranced by the process of registering for a blog here.I have written blog software and designed a blog or two. This blog takes it name from the software development company of
