Praise Google! I have been bestowed upon with a Gmail account from Almighty Google, Lord of the Pings, Forboding and Omniscient, Ever-Watchful of Data.

No more Ned Flanders preaching at the pulpit (which i actually thought was really funny), no more public outbursts of profanity (which i am not releasing on this site) and no more playing at the altar (like i was doing).

Read MoreThe Skinny on Cyberchurch 1.0
The Crypt downstairs was a good place to hang out after the service, and its still hard to get in because of the crowds. Was Church of Fools successful as a chat room ? ABSOLUTELY But they are framing it as a church which raises eyebrows and generates news stories. You have probably already read…

Read MoreInternet as Labyrinth

Today is the feast day for St. Isidore of Seville (Proposed Patron of the Internet by the Roman Catholic Church). Bob has the corner on why they voted for Izzy.
