Dave Walker, Cartoonist of Lambeth, received a “cease and desist” letter from a current owner of the British SPCK chain of Christian bookshops. He has removed all content from his blog pertaining to the odd and ongoing story of how an Anglican bookstore chain got turned over to a group of Texans of the Orthodox faith for a song. And how a lot of people lost their jobs over the last year or so, and how one young man was driven to despair and committed suicide, all because this strangely fundamentalist Orthodox group decided to gut the bookshops, fire the…

Can I use my iPhone in England? – Apple – Wireless Forums from AT&T Yes it will work there.

Remembering ‘The Heart Of NPR,’ Gary Smith : NPR Longtime NPR Greeter and Client Services Coordinator Gary Smith passed away this week. For years, he sat at the reception desk at NPR’s Washington headquarters. Smith was a force field of good cheer; he was a big man who became the heart of NPR. As I drove home, listening to Michele Norris talk about Gary Smith, I was moved by her description of a man who made greeting the often jetlagged or on-deadline visitors to the NPR building his number-one job. It seems that every week, Mr Smith always began his…

Our PB Katharine seems to be getting a lot of attention in Britain in the run-up to Lambeth; earlier today I read the sermon she delivered at Salisbury Cathedral, and apparently it and another service she preached at were broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 3. There are links to both documents in the story below. Episcopal Life Online – NEWS [Episcopal News Service] As part of the pre-Lambeth Conference Hospitality Initiative, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and the bishops of the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS) are visiting the Church of England’s Diocese of Salisbury and…

No, I haven’t been blogging much original content lately, and here are a few reasons why. Work. It’s changed a lot in the last few months, and I no longer am allowed to be on the Internets tubes during working hours, unless I’m on break or logged out for lunch. I’ve got a new leader, and am feeling a fair amount of tension at the moment during the shakedown period. My previous leader was pretty accomodating, the new one is still formulating a leadership style, and it’s best to not push matters. Sadly, I can no longer filter out the…

Apple released a software update and new apps for the iPhone today. Utility is fine but all I really wanted was the iLightsaber. The sounds work off the accelerometer, which means that tomorrow, thousands of Mac Jedi will be sparring and dueling. You can even pick your color. Jedi name generator not included.
