Whither feedroll
Whither feedroll? I’m not sure where all of that dynamic content I was crowing about went. Feedroll has apparently disappeared and taken a goodly chunk of my RSS coolness with it. I guess I get to create the javascript myself, huh…

A Post-literate society? This entry is meant to be a continuation on my Prestonwood thread as well as an exploration into an idea that probably isn’t unique, but at least my take on it might be. Brief background: Laureen and I and some friends attended the 2003 Christmas Celebration at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. …
Prestonwood: a mega building
Prestonwood: the mega experience Well, last night we went to Prestonwood Baptist Church to see their 2003 Dallas Christmas celebration. I am a mixed bag of feelings on the entire event, mostly because I have reservations about mega-churches. Let’s put it this way: rougly 1,000 volunteers contributed time and effort to this. There was a …
