So I must once again switch gears, from “what am I going to do? (the “pre-OSG kairos time” world) to “this (the OSG Kairos stuff) is what I’m gonna do and and it seems to be THE THING, and the support will come— I have faith that it will” to the recent “OK, I can do this (the $1000 a week Continue Reading
After almost three weeks of my Contract work, I learned there may be only another 3 weeks to go, unless some new addtions to their Web development staff is approved. I have had the opportunity to learn , hands-on, some really cool Cold Fusion stuff. I hope the next 3 weeks will bring more of the same, and more. Maybe Continue Reading
As I get ready to upload some OSG graphics to a web area, I feel compelled to plop it here as a bragging piece, as an observance of how exciting this all is for me. Click “Continue reading A Great Good Place For me” to see larger version of the image
The Online Community efforts I have been advocating for the past 12 years center in the belief I have that any tool which encourages “seeking out” the bodies behind the conversations that attract us is a “Third Place” building kind of thing. There may not be an pre-existing “Physical place” which hosted the budding group, but that comes as the Continue Reading
I took my son to see Terminator 3 yesterday, and , like the two before it, the major story line centers on the “machine takeover” and systematic “extermination” of humans by the self-aware machines. It is the classic apocalyptic warning about making our machines too powerful.

I think that “The Jerk” reminds me of a time in my life when I was starting out in ministry, in Seminary, and going to see movies like The Jerk with a good friend who lived across the hall in the Seminary Dorm where I resided from 1978-1981. We would often quote various things from the movie in the years Continue Reading
The line from the movie “The Jerk” (I can just see the look that Steve Martin had and hear the way he said it) came to mind in a much more serious and life-impact way yesterday as I read over a 4 page email from my friend Larry concerning our talks over the past couple weeks concerning a role for Continue Reading
The thinking and envisioning I’ve written about in the previous post are about an ecumenical center with which I’ve been associated with for 10 years, through my friendship with Larry, and my involvement with a group of people who formed a class they called “Servant Leadership School”, named for the ministry and group study after which it was patterned, the Continue Reading
I spent a good chunk of this afternoon sitting on my Mom and Dad’s back porch in the nice breeze and jotting down notes in between the lines and on the backs of sheets of the emails I printed out on Thursday which Larry sent to me, outlining some things he is thinking of presenting to hopefully get some things Continue Reading
More on the previous two posts about the WMD mystery Back when the Weapons inspections were happening, and the Bush administration kept saying “We’re running out of time”, one HAD to be thinking that they’re certainly in TOO MUCH of a hurry.

A Google search on this phrase yields quite a bit Weinberger earlier this week wondered why the media has been so slow to do their own investigation, rather than Continue Reading
Talking Points Memo Link Weinberger has been asking and wondering about the absence of Weapons of Mass Destruction” , as I’m sure many of us have (like me, but I haven’t done much writing or commenting or reading about it). I’m certainly not hearing much of it on the news, in THIS country at least. AKMA posts a comment to Continue Reading
