Something Weblogs Are Great For

For once I’ve read a passionate, thoughtful and non-flame infested discussion amongst diverse individuals, across weblogs. On religion! Whoda thunk it?

In truth, this says more about the webloggers participating then weblogging itself.

Actually, I just used the weblogging angle to get your attention 🙂

Now go enjoy the thought provoking reading (in what I believe to be in order of posting):

Joi Ito: The whole “there is only one God and my God is the best” thing…

Shelley Powers: Shinto Commandments?

Jonathon Delacour: You can put your god over there?

AKMA: On God(s)

Shelley Powers: Forgive them, they know what they do

David Weinberger: AKMA is a Christian

AKMA: On [Other People?s] Gods

Shelley Powers: On Belief

Shelley Powers: Belief and Acceptance

Now It Can Be Told

I’m very happy to announce I’ve taken a position at Comcast as a software engineer. This could have been told a couple weeks ago, but I’m always respectful about sharing work matters and will continue to be so.

I can say, at least, that I’ve learned more in the past two weeks then I have in the past year and a half at Philly.com. Which is a shame really. I’m going to miss everyone, and will continue to be rooting for the journalists who, in the end, make everything happen there.

The VMAs sucked!

Why? Why? WHY?!?!? Why did I let myself think it would be any different then the last few years?

There needs to be a MTV2 Awards show. No – better yet – a real competitor to MTV needs to stand up. There is great music out there – and I’m sure great videos – they deserve to be seen and heard.

Johnny Cash don’t need MTV and it’s a shame that MTV missed a chance to be something more then just advertisement.

Man did it suck. It was like a car wreck. Never – never – never again!
