A test to Post to Movable type with Footbridge tool  …. Not working yet…..see my Radio category   

Coming up on 5 months (the 21st) of joblessness.   I have been VERY busy working on some webhosting and web applications to help Churches and organizations do more efficient communications,  and I want also to be able to help these same groups get into blogging,  and so I have set up Movable Type,  but have set that aside after some Continue Reading

“Movable Theoblogical” announces my first successful Movable Type install.

Seeking a tool to help me import my Radio Blog into Movable Type.  I finally got a Movable Type install running on my new host,  where MySQL data is supported in addition to SQL Server AND ASP/Net.  I downloaded an exporter.root file last night from here,  but I get an error  when I try it (see MyRadioTrials post here ).  Continue Reading

Scott Rosenberg pointed out this Washington Post article.  Some Iraqis, however, question the allocation of U.S. forces around the capital. They note a whole company of Marines, along with at least a half-dozen amphibious assault vehicles, has been assigned to guard the Oil Ministry, while many other ministries — including trade, information, planning, health and education — remain unprotected. “Why Continue Reading

Has anybody come up with a reasonably effective tool for filtering out these Scam emails posing as some African diplomat whose husband just died and left all this money in some bank account and want me to send them some money to secure the release of X dollars to me.  Practically every day I get one of these suckers.  I Continue Reading

Radio subscription list from Mike James’ Radio weblog (2002) about computing, politics, and faith

Bill Maher just had on a guy from Iraq,  and although Maher seemed to be taking the side (I’m not too familiar with his views) of the “typical person on the street” toward the “success of the Iraq war”,  I was impressed that the Iraqi prof and the perspective he brought was actually aired.  He was bringing to the table the Continue Reading

Sobering, stark ponderance of some of the things we don’t hear amongst all the “we won”“The staggering cost ” | from Mike James

This latest WIRED got me going on the perpetual frustration I have with how “out of it” Churches and their Communications agencies are with regards to the Net.  Here we have one of the most amazing and potential-rich communication tool in human history,  and the Churches still see it as a glorified brochure (and not all that glorified).  MIT’s Media Continue Reading

Some of the thoughts from an article  The Church-Internet (dis)connectionby  Andrew Careaga Instead of debating among ourselves whether authentic community can exist over the Net, why don’t we go out into all the world of cyberspace and be part of the community that does indeed exist on the Net? Who knows? Maybe the church can add some authenticity to what’s Continue Reading

On Monday night,  while playing basketball with my son and several of his friends,  I suffered an eye injury (turned out to be a corneal abrasion),  which sent me to the hospital for some treatment and eye drops,  and kept me offline for the following day.  Yesterday,  things were better,  and I posted a few things as the News was Continue Reading

Robert Parham raises and issue today that I knew , going in to this conflict, was going to be a key moral issue: the conspicuous absence of the coverage of civilian casualties.  We have heard “mention”,  but the most glaring omission is the absence of images.  I noticed on Sunday night,  when looking at things like “Images of War” photo Continue Reading

Kentucky loses,  and now the Reds lose Griffey….AGAIN.  Read in “Griffey suffers injury again” I did find some measure of pleasure in seeing Marquette come down to earth with a resounding thud,  getting absolutely taken apart by Kansas.  They didn’t have the hot hand like they had in the previous 4 games.  Welcome back to earth.  Kansas is actually a Continue Reading
