The irrelevance of the far right

March 5th, 2009

There is a growing irrelevance that the far right is experiencing in this country, and many believe that it is entering what will be an extended loss of influence due to a failure to recognize that people in the United States have moved away from its mannerisms. Interestingly, this is an area in which the church is proceeding at the same pace as, or actually faster than, the rest of culture: as the lords of the political Right flail for the remnants of their influence, the lords of the Religious Right do so as well.

A design is almost here – finally

January 23rd, 2009

If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you would be forgiven for thinking that it will never get the custom theme that I mention from time to time. Being a designer who has opinions on a number of things, and one who likes to take side projects from time to time, makes it difficult for this kind of site to get a design.

January 20th, 2009

In community, we tell each other stories

January 14th, 2009

I'm a big fan of community, especially lately. I'm also very afraid of it. I tend to be a quiet person until I get to know people, and I often feel awkward until then unless we are having a conversation about which I am very passionate.

January 1st, 2009

I read a decent number of books in 2008, and I wanted to draw attention to some of them.
