The Cornjob Memorial Library: Where Were You In 1992? Go to www.popCulturemadness.com and select the year you became 18. Paste the list of the top 75 songs. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you know but don't exactly like nor dislike. The ones you don't know will stay common text. Sadly for me, 1975 was not a year of going boldly. In fact, it was one big strikeout, musically and socially. 1975 Greatest Hits 1. Get Down Tonight – KC & The Sunshine Band 2. Thank God I'm A Country Boy – John Denver…

GCBME.COM Where You put the ME in MEdia I dropped by my Flickr page and noticed someone had put a comment on my photo of a juvenile Goa'uld caught in my homemade snakehead trap (it's cleverly disguised as a lava lamp): The comment was: WATCH IT HERE Please vote for my video HERE The contest COULD HELP to bring back SG1 for another season! Thanks, Angie Moriconi It's actually a pretty cute video, with a talking cat grumbling about how his obsessed "Tauri" has been spending all her time mailing boxes of Kleenex (inside joke) to the powers…

COUNT DOWN…… 20. "That's weird…" 19. "It's never done that before." 18. "It worked yesterday." 17. "How is that possible?" 16. "It must be a hardware problem." 15. "What did you type in wrong to get it to crash?" 14. "There is something funky in your data." 13. "I haven't touched that module in weeks!" 12. "You must have the wrong version." 11. "It's just some unlucky coincidence." 10. "I can't test everything!" 9. "THIS can't be the source of THAT." 8. "It works, but it hasn't been tested." 7. "Somebody must have changed my code." 6.

So, the big visit today was a success. All the pictures are on a Flickr set here. We did go out into the neighborhood around St Nicholas to distribute shopping bags for a toy drive, and Bp. Scantlebury was a good sport about going door-to-door. We even had a couple of reporters there taking pictures for local papers. This picture shows the baptistry of St Nick’s, with their fancy running-water font. Originally, this was an altar that was cut down and refashioned, and the worship space is completely flexible. Today, for example, all the chairs had been re-arranged to face…

The Sit-In at the Altar: No ‘I Do’ Till Gays Can Do It, Too – New York Times Whether it makes sense or not, some heterosexual couples, mostly in their in 20s and 30s, are protesting the inability of gay and lesbian couples to marry by putting off their own marriage. Unless wedded bliss is available to everyone, in every state, they say, they want no part of it.

Episcopal Diocese Votes to Secede From Church – New York Times One interesting clause in their amendment supposedly erases borders so they could absorb disaffected parishes from more liberal dioceses. That cuts both ways, my brothers and sisters.

The Swamp – Chicago Tribune – Blogs. This is the text of the Democratic Party's radio address (audio link here): "I’m Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics. I was surprised and grateful when Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid called to say his party wanted to set a new tone and invite, for the first time, a non-partisan religious leader to deliver their weekly radio address and speak about the values that could unite Americans at this critical time. "So, I want to be clear that I am not speaking for the Democratic Party, but as a person of faith who…
