A Celtic Bibliography « Godspace
I've been deeply impacted by the stories and practices of the Celtic church over the past six years or so of my life, and have mentors who are deeply rooted in that tradition. So it's lovely to see such a list. Can't recommend highly enough.

Digital Ethnography » Blog Archive » 1991: Who we were and Who we need to be
Michael Wesch reflects, in light of the 20th anniversary of the public beginning of the web. "Skills and information fade into obsolescence . They are the metaphorical fish handed to you by the guy who should have taught you how to fish.

We need a vision for who we and our students need to *be* – not just what we should know."
