The Zimbabwe Independent – The Leading Business Weekly Newspaper I THINK recent developments at the Anglican Cathedral and Greendale parish clearly show the difference between Bishop Nolbert Kunonga and Bishop Sebastian Bakare: one is a thug and the other a true spiritual leader.The public needs to know that the hype about homosexuality is real hypocrisy and opportunism on the part of Kunonga. Before he clutched onto this he had suggested as an agenda item to the provincial secretary that the Province of Central Africa should be dissolved as a sign of respect to Archbishop Bernard Malango who was retiring at…

There’s also a classic chalice and paten in silver that we’re hoping to bundle off to a new home. I’m hoping for more items to be added, but we’re a blended church family and I don’t need the Altar Guild coming after me looking for their swag.

Closeup of a set of Eucharist vessels from St Nicholas that have been there since it the church was founded – they must have been donated, as they’re dated from several years before the year ground was broken. St Nick’s is a small Episcopal parish in Elk Grove Village, IL. It was designed by a well known Chicago architect called Edward (Ned) Dart, who also designed the former Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. Both small missions merged on New Year’s Day, 2007. We need program space, and we don’t have a lot of storage space, and some duplicate items… so it’s…

Build-A-Bear’s private information seduction system – Boing Boing Cyberlawyer Denise Howell sez, “As far as I could tell, the same parents driving themselves to distraction with fear over their evening chardonnays about MySpace and FaceBook are willingly helping their kids fork over a slew of personal data when they visit Build-A-Bear. It’s hard to fault them too much though, as the computers there masquerade as anything but a corporate info-racket.” Read on for a slightly sobering look at the world of cybermarketing to kids: Mom and Dad don’t worry too much about personal information getting into the hands of marketeers…

I trust this man’s judgment in all things giqueteque: He played Jeeves and Cardinal Melchett, but he’s also a whiz with personal gadgetry. Stephen Fry » Blog Archive » What witchcraft is this? What is new is that there is no secondary screen; the whole exterior of the phone is pure glossy violet plastic, giving no hint of display capability. The image appears to be going on somehow inside the very surface of the plastic cover. What’s more, if I close the phone while playing a track, a music player now appears – a touch-sensitive music player at that. It…

Grr! due to a recent flutter with my hard drive, iTunes has forgotten again that my old RED57 account at AOL doesn’t exist. I have to email support again to ask them to mere old and new, and verify billing. Grr!

Wow! this is the second story to get “press” from the releases I was sending out last week… ironically, it’s based on a shorter, earlier version that I had edited down to remove some of the quotes in the hopes that it might be more likely to be run as a shorter item. It was sent to the same publisher, different little suburban paper.

At last! One of the press releases pays off, very modestly. I sent PR #3 earlier to all my news contacts, and it’s more of a peppy upbeat thing than this one, which is cut and pasted from the original PR with quotes inserted by the diocesan communications guy – I had asked him to pass it along to Episcopal Life Online. That’s okay, I’ve got a contact now… we’ll see how that pans out.
