    The Weekend of Awesome

    June 9, 2010 - By 

    Let’s see… it’s Wednesday, so I’ve finally recovered from the barrage of total neatorama that occured last weekend. My husband David’s birthday luau, and some HTML and CSS geekery, and then on Sunday evening, we actually MADE IT TO WOOTSTOCK V2.2 IN CHICAGO!!!!!!!11!! (my bangs, they go to 11). If you’ve spent any time reading here, you know we’re really big fans of going to Hawaii, and we’ve been to a bunch of luaus and other Hawaiian-type dinner shows over the years. We’ve even gone with friends, and done goofy things with them just because we were in Hawaii. But…

    Finally!

    May 22, 2010 - By 

    Getting some traction on taking the church blog and turning it into the main website for St Nick’s. It’s quite difficult to migrate a domain from Yahoo.com to GoDaddy.com as it is, but the former web admin (who’s moving on to be ordained as a deacon soon) struggled with the Yahoo side. Finally, finally he was able to call us so David could try to walk him through it. Whew. Found a great theme, though: Shadowbox.

    Portland Catholics Mostly Ignore Archbishop’s Demand They Cancel Newspaper Subscriptions

    April 7, 2010 - By 

    That’s a nice message, Abp. Vlazny – go ahead and demand your flock adbpt a “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” attitude to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church. How about demanding priests in your care “do no evil” instead? Local News | Portland priest attacks Oregonian newspaper’s coverage of sex-abuse scandals | Seattle Times Newspaper PORTLAND — Hundreds of churchgoers who attended Mass on Easter Sunday at St. Mary’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception received an unusual written message tucked inside a weekly bulletin.

    St Nick Turned Away From Detention Centre

    December 13, 2009 - By 

    The patron saint of children and prisoners, who was bearing gifts of toys and other presents, was turned away from a UK “immigration removal centre” by security guards. Guards stop Father Christmas entering Yarl’s Wood immigration centre | UK news | The Observer It started out as a well-intentioned attempt to bring festive cheer to some of society’s most neglected members – the hundreds of children who each year are caught up in the UK’s asylum system. But when the Anglican church’s leading expert on Father Christmas, dressed as St Nicholas himself, arrived with one of Britain’s most distinguished clerics…

    Tempestuous Teapot: Never Mind! No Reciprocal Border Crossing Planned

    August 8, 2009 - By 

    As you were. #episcopalian #anglican #kerfuffle PRELUDIUM: Bp. Anderson paranoia a copy-cat caper. Bishop David Anderson let loose with a dozy of a conspiracy theory last week. I reported on it HERE. It turns out the theory was lifted from a though piece by The Rev’d Geoffrey M. St.J. Hoare, the rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. That essay was picked up by Jonathan Wynne-Jones in an article titled, “Americans planning to start a civil war in the Church of England.” The thread was in turn picked up by Episcopal Cafe in “One plus one equals six…
