This looks really interesting – you’d be surprised how many members of my immediate family are either going, maybe thinking about going, or at least intrigued by the concept. Blogging this to be sure that they see the listing, in case they weren’t already planning on going. Aside from the interesting concept of a humanistic religious community, I’m currently involved in an outreach project for Holy Moly, and one of the goals is getting exactly this kind of press release published. How’s it done? Who’s the contact? I’ve already gotten signed up to do something like this at the Chicago…

There is nothing remotely cute or endearing about 4 old guys gleefully plotting to kill hundreds or thousands of innocent people in Washington DC just to take down a little old thing we like to call the US Government, including the Executive Branch and most of Congress plus any other faceless bureaucrats. Nothing defensible in some of their other activities, either. I hope the undercover agents have been able to wash the stench off; the transcripts are appalling. It’s easy for me to make a cheap joke about old-guy terrorists mixing up their batches of castor bean-derived ricin, but the…

Yes, I had to throw in the Despicable Me! and Firefly references. It’s late, and I’m in GReader withdrawal. I used to scroll GReader constantly. I probably shared too much (there is no overshare in Google Reader, but if there is, I did it). I missed the chance to meet 2 (TWO) of my sharebros in Colorado and now I’ve lost connection with a very small number of interesting people, including several Muslim gentlemen who shared all kinds of interesting tech gadget stories, plus incredible food articles and recipe sites during Ramadan. I’ll miss those guys, though I didn’t interact…

I want to do this. I WANT TO DO THIS. Let’s do this, you mokes. This is your official invitation to Songs of Good Cheer, the holiday singalong that my colleague Eric Zorn and I are hosting for the 13th straight year. Sorry for mentioning Christmas in October, but there are a lot of hyper-organized holiday lovers out there who make plans long before the last leaf falls. So here’s everything you need to know to join us. We hope you will. Who: A band of first-rate musicians from the Old Town School of Folk Music whose instruments include banjo,…

Yeah, I fixed it on Blogula but now I need to fix it again on the church blog and my Second Life blog. So there! One of the coolest things about WordPress 3.2 is its “distraction-free writing†mode. I’ve been eagerly awaiting using this feature on my own sites for months. Unfortunately, WordPress 3.2 also shipped with a font change for the HTML editor to a monospace font, which isn’t so distraction free when you’re trying to write. via Fixing WordPress 3.2′s HTML editor font UPDATE: And now I’m doing it again, because I didn’t do it right the first…

I just realized the plugin I had called Postalicious was no longer working; either my Feedburner feed of my del.icio.us links died, or the new www.delicious.com changes screwed up the feed at their end. Figured it out, fixed it, will see about creating some “stacks.” Followed one for Hyperbole and a Half, so let’s have caaaaake.

Headed to dinner with friends. Running late because I should have left previous thing earlier. # I refuse to be interested in a vegetable-decorating contest. # Was in a meeting recently where I was asked "How do *you* motivate people"? #blinkblinkheadlights # Naps have a high priority on weekends; the idea of *me* motivating somebody is like putting a cat in charge of cheerleaders. # Hmm, awesome redditor comments: "Terra Nova has a $20 million budget & uses Nerf guns as props." http://t.co/dbmu0Ffr # RT @DavidCornDC "First question to Herman Cain tonight: "What happens if the alligators touch the electric…
