- peterme.com » Post-Ownership Society – Track That Meme!
- Fantastic article on post-ownership from a user experience design perspective. I see this as an area of great potential into which the church can emerge into something new, by reaching back to the book of Acts. I don't know if it will do it, but imagine the reshaping that could happen! "One thing that’s clear is that the importance people associate with owning stuff will decrease. It will be supplanted by access, experiences, and the act of creation."
- The Future of Christian Eschatology 4 – Jesus Creed
- Continues a fascinating series of posts by Scot McKnight on the future of eschatology. This one looks at what Jesus talked about in Matthew 24. Again, I think these posts are incredibly important, and encourage you to follow them.

- Evangelism before and after Christendom | open source theology
- "The very existence of such communities is an announcement to post-modern, post-Christendom Western society that the creator God has not given up, that he has not simply capitulated to the forces of rationalism, materialism and cultural disorder, that Jesus still has the name which is above every name. That is good news."
- The Future of Christian Eschatology 3 – Jesus Creed
- Continues a fascinating series of posts by Scot McKnight on the future of eschatology. This one looks at what Jesus talked about in Mark 13. Again, I think these posts are incredibly important, and encourage you to follow them.
Links for March 10th
- The Future of Christian Eschatology 1 – Jesus Creed
- Begins a fascinating series of posts by Scot McKnight on the future of eschatology. This one looks at his own upbringing as a fundamentalist dispensationalist, and chronicles parts of his own theological journey. I think these posts will be incredibly important, and encourage you to follow them.
- The Future of Christian Eschatology 2 – Jesus Creed
- Continues a fascinating series of posts by Scot McKnight on the future of eschatology. This one looks at what Jesus thought about the future, and summarizes "partial preterism." Again, I think these posts are incredibly important, and encourage you to follow them.

- The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan (March 06, 2009) – The Center Moves Left?
- "There's nothing wrong with such principles – low taxes, balanced budgets, small and limited government. I share them. But no self-respecting conservative would ever defend such principles without considering the full context in which we now find ourselves."
- What Bruce Sterling Actually Said About Web 2.0 at Webstock 09 | Beyond the Beyond from Wired.com
- "Far from the action here at the antipodes, you people, you just don't get it about the original principles of Web 2.0! Too often, you've got no architecture of participation, sometimes you don't have an open API! Out here at the end of the earth, you think it's all about drop shadows and the gradients and a tag cloud, and a startup name with a Capital R in the middle of it!"
- Tap Project Homepage
- "In 2007, the Tap Project was born in New York City based on a simple concept: restaurants would ask their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world."
- Color Scheme Designer
- Amazing tool for generating color schemes.

- More Connected Than We Think – Jim Wallis – God's Politics Blog
- "Last Friday, I met a vice president for the insurance giant, AIG. While I try to be a gracious person, senior management for a giant corporation highly culpable for our current crisis and currently eating up billions in public funds wasn't my top choice for grace that day."

- Courageous COWARDism: The Church Must Be One, and it Must Err on the Side of Justice
- "It is imperative to the integrity of the Church that Biblical literalism gives way within our faith communities to Biblical literacy. These contrasting concepts often stand at opposite gates of a wide bridge between the popular church and the body of Christ in the world today."
- Examining Paul's Perspective on 'Authority' – Mimi Haddad – God's Politics Blog
- "However, the fullest truth is that the authority Paul seeks to limit is not that of women, but that which is domineering, and even abusive."

- Seth's Blog: How big is your world?
- "There's a difference between being aware of the emergency of the day and having firsthand experience and firsthand empathy for different people in different places."
Links for March 2nd
- The Associated Press: AP Newsbreak: CIA destroyed 92 interrogation tapes
- "New documents show the CIA destroyed nearly 100 tapes of terror interrogations, far more than has previously been acknowledged." The sad thing is, people are still wondering why anyone would want people in the Bush administration tried for war crimes.
- Experimental Theology: Thoughts on Mark Driscoll..While I'm Knitting
- Great thoughts on what Mark Driscoll is really doing when he talks about masculinity in the church. "The point of this post is that when Driscoll starts talking about gender and people start pushing back there is a lot of stuff that starts flying around: Agenic motives, gender role interests, educational fissures, power and misogyny. It all blends together in a conversational stew ostensibly about "real guys." And if we are not clear about what we are talking about we talk past each other."
Links for February 27th
- TPMMuckraker | Talking Points Memo | Jindal Admits Katrina Story Was False
- Apparently, Jindal's story about Katrina was not true. "The central anecdote of the GOP's prime-time response to President Obama's speech, intended to illustrate the threat of excessive government regulation, turns out to have been made up."
- The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan (February 27, 2009) – The Un-Rove
- Andrew Sullivan's view of what Obama has accomplished with his political strategy. "Smart, isn't he? He won the stimulus debate long before the Republicans realized it (they were busy doing tap-dances of victory on talk radio, while he was building a new coalition without them)."
