SEO: The future of journalism?
Aol’s CEO on the future of journalism That’s borne out by a memo from AOL Chief Executive Officer Tim Armstrong on where his company’s journalism is going. It’s fairly chilling reading, ordering the company’s editors to evaluate all future stories on the basis of "traffic potential, revenue potential, edit quality and turnaround time." All stories, [...]
Soularize 2011
This came from Spencer Burke of TheOoze yesterday. It’s been almost 10 years from the first Soularize in Seattle, and we’re exciting about hosting another learning party in 2011. As usual, this event will unite both traditional and non-traditional teachers, artists, theologians, thinkers, and social activists. This year – sunny San Diego! October 12-14, 2011 [...]
Super Size Me
Apparently this cruise ship isn’t that big. It’s heavier than any of the WWII battleships and until the U.S.S. Enterprise was launched, it was heavier than any previous U.S. warship. Of course it is a midget compared to the Oasis class of cruise ships. It’s like MacDonald’s took over the cruise industry.
The rise and fall of The Fridge
ESPN chronicles the struggles of William (the Refrigerator) Perry In November, the Bears organization staged its 25th anniversary reunion of the ’85 team, and planned a raucous weekend in Chicago.

He describes a White House with internal problems, at the heart of which was a National Security [...]
Where have all the denominations gone?
In the Wall Street Journal Are we witnessing the death of America’s Christian denominations? Studies conducted by secular and Christian organizations indicate that we are. Fewer and fewer American Christians, especially Protestants, strongly identify with a particular religious communion—Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, etc. According to the Baylor Survey on Religion, nondenominational churches now represent the [...]
PotashCorp WInterShines 2011
As I mentioned in my last post, Wendy, Mark, Oliver and I went down to the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market for PotashCorp WinterShines 2011. Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer The first trip down was beyond cold at –40 but on Saturday we went down and it was around freezing so it was quite pleasant. The [...]
Making Saskatoon a Winter City
For those of you who missed it, Ice Cycle was two Sundays ago. It’s basically an event where hard core cyclists taunt the weather and risk getting pneumonia while going for a bike ride in extreme cold. Mother Nature doesn’t enjoy getting taunted and met them with –40 degree weather. Now personally I think each [...]
