Crossposted from my EchoDitto blog.
I am not a developer. I’m a writer with just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous. So there’s probably a lot I don’t know about creating blogging software. I’m not the guy who builds the platform. I’m the guy who comes goes comes in, redecorates, adds some content, and makes […]

Just in case I’m to busy to post on Friday, this was easy enough to put together and schedule on Thursday night.

Are the rumors killing you as much as they’re killing me? The latest is that in the pas week Rove told Bush and Bolton he will be indicted and will resign once Fitzgerald announces the charges.

What is with with right wing nutbags and death threats? Now Susan Sarandon says she’s gotten some too. How soon before someone gets killed just for being liberal?

It’s been a while since we were counting the days ’til Fitzmas, but it looks like it may be time to start the countdown again. Shortly after news that Karl Rove has cut back on his policy-related duties (maybe the ones that required a security clearance?), we have word that Rove is meeting with FItzgerald […]

If you’ve ever spent all night playing a computer game, realized the sun was rising and wondered how it happened to you, check out this Google Video Discovery Channel program on the history of computer games. It’s long. Something like 46 minutes, but interesting viewing nonetheless.

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take […]

OMFG. I know it’s not Saturday, but start your morning with this cartoon. Just trust me on this one.
Why wasn’t this taught in school when I was growing up? I agree with BattlePanda. YouTube has proven it’s worth. I just wonder how long people will be able to get away with posting this kinda stuff […]

I’ve taken to exploring Pandora on a regular basis to expand my musical horizons, based on stuff I already like. So I added my Pandora favorites list to the sidebar. (There’s an RSS feed too.) If you have any recommendations, I’m always open to new music I might like.

Lately I’ve felt like I haven’t been reading and participating in discussion on other blogs enough. So I registered for an account at CoComment, to keep track of my comments on other blogs. And to give myself an extra push, I’ve added a CoComment box to the sidebar, to show where I’ve commented and to […]

About.Com listed this one among the top blogs for gay men. And I love the description: "An in-depth social and political commentary from a gay, vegetarian, Buddhist, liberal African-American father. Need I say more?"

Mine are coming, I promise, once Parker has gone to bed. (I spent more time taking video footage for Logo than I did taking pictures.) In the meantime, check out the pics from Joe Tresh.

Still recovering, but here’s a bit of an update. As we were walking up to the White House gates this afternoon, were were approached by two different television crews. The reporters were great, and one of them even told us afterwards that she has two gay sons.
I also got to play at being media myself, […]
