Just when you think that everything stupid has already been said. I don’t know about you but I think the article crosses the line. How long until a deck of playing cards with Tony Jones, Doug Pagitt, Brian McLaren, and Karen Ward‘s faces on it comes out?

It took about 20 minutes to import all of my posts and comments back into WordPress (8000 posts, 2500 comments) and then I decided to install some WordPress themes to see which ones [...]

Wikipedia has the plot and ending of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows. That’s all I have to say about it but if you can’t wait….

Tonight Mark and I walked the 15 blocks to the Roxy Theatre on 20th Street in Saskatoon. I am ashamed to admit that despite working a block away and being a big fan of the restoration, I had never been there since it reopened (although I did see Rambo there as a kid). It is [...]

Last night I decided to ride my bike to work. The highlight of that trip was being hit by a car which I managed to avoid the worst of on Avenue C North. I was sent for a spin but my knee took the worst of it but I was okay. I got to work, [...]

Sings of Emergence is now out in Canada and the United States. I reviewed the U.K. version of the book on my blog but with the American release of the book, I thought it was worth a repost. I also submitted a review into TheOoze for the book but I think it is still in [...]

Most of your friends already have luxury yaughts? How about a luxury submarine then? Sadly I know some people who are almost getting to this point. For one it was a $40,000 car as a gift, then a $100,000 car, and then riding the pace car at a Champ Car race…. where do you go [...]

Rom Targum 1: Rehearing Colossians 1.1–14 in the Context of Disquieted Globalism But here is the rub. Everything in this monolithic culture of McWorld globalization is allied against you and will try to keep your imaginations captive, stripping you of the courage to dream of alternative ways to live. So may you be strengthened with [...]
