Dresden. We were here on Friday. Some of the team had to get their visas stamped again and so we just took everybody across the border. We had a really good time, and for all the details you can go to my sister Sarah’s blog entry and read all the gory details (the goriest being…

Brad told me that he and his friends were all discussing an excellent post by Dan Hughes on TheyBlinked but when I went there, I couldn’t see which one they were talking about. I like Dan’s blog and his way of thinking. Dan, who I met in person earlier this year in Austin, is another…

Elizabeth got her tooth capped, after knocking out the corner of her front tooth over the weekend. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a horror story.

Read MoreSteve Taylor on Postmodern Monasteries

It becomes far more meaningful if relationships are physically shared. • Develop a rhythm of prayer, a shared daily spirituality that ensures geeks do…
Read MoreTrying to Define the Postmodern Monasteries
Much discussion going on about this. What is the difference between a “monastic” and an “ecclesiastic” model of church? Aren’t monasteries where people go to retreat from life rather than engage?

My Aussie friend Geoff Westlake finally saw Matrix Revolutions and blogged some thoughts, including a quote from the Wachowski brothers in 1999 to Time Mag: “The Bible seeks to answer a lot of relevant questions for man,” says Larry. “In the film we refer to the story of Nebuchadnezzar; he has a dream he can’t…

Up early this morning, loading up sites on the RSS News Feeder. I am using Net News Wire as my software of choice. Basically what it does is bring all the web sites and news headlines (and blog titles) to me instead of my chasing down them. Another good reason for all bloggers to switch…
