Huffpost put this up in their Sunday roundup.  I hadn’t seen it yet…it ends with a very poignant message.
True.

I have connected deeply with Michael Wesch’s work at Kansas State University. He has put together some marvelous work on the ways that students learn (or don’t learn) today and the ways that the educational system is not meeting students where they are at. On his blog, he recently posted a re-visiting of [...]

I have linked to Roland Martin’s work before on CNN.com and I need to do so again.  This time Mr Martin is trying to focus on how to get past the political sides of the discussion regarding Gov. Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy.  While I doubt his words will really make a difference in the debate as [...]

My buddy Drew posted this earlier today and it got me thinking a bit about what albums I’d bring along.  Of course, this is all a moot point since taking 5 albums along would be bigger than taking my ipod along, but that’s beside the point.  I guess the five that I would bring along [...]

I have alternated between laughing at the silliness and annoyed at the inaneness of the discussion about whether Barack Obama should wear a flag pin.  Does his choice to not wear one make him “un-American” or “un-patriotic”?  Going back to the useless 2 hours that ABC had a few weeks ago that was offically called [...]

Finished Through a Screen Darkly by Jeffrey Overstreet last night. It was easily one of the better film and theology books I have read over the last several years (and I’ve read a lot of them). It ranks up there with Robert Johnson’s Reel Spirituality in the variety of subjects he covers. [...]

A litlte channeling of Henrix going on on Tuesday’s ep of Colbert…
