This is just a quick update to say I’m having fun working with the team at Halogen, a new socially conscious cable television network based here in Charlotte. It’s also a shameless attempt to get the most views on my Halogen staff video! (Click to watch above)

I’m positively geeking out at this point about the Theology After Google conference, March 10-12, in Claremont, California, because one of my all-time heroes of the Web and journalism—Jeff Jarvis (BuzzMachine.com)—is now planning to participate in the conference via Skype.

No, I didn’t buy a new car. It’s something even better!

We look back on historical epochs and give them names, usually described by the things we humans make during that period. Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age, Nuclear Age … Guess what they’ll call the past hundred years in a millennia or two? The Plastic Age!
Yea, I’m convinced [...]

I was “quoted” today in Rick Bennett’s blog post “An Obituary for the Emerging Church.” It’s an honor to be “cited” in the midst of such esteemed company. Yes, I’m using effusive quotation marks to denote that this article is pure satire. This is actually the culmination of a trifecta of posts from Rick.

I have a guest post up today at CatalystSpace.com. It’s called “Community Is Crucial, Especially Around the Holidays,” and, as you can imagine, I wrote it last month, reflecting on the suicide of my online friend Gideon Addington.

There’s no denying it, by the year 2050, there will not be a racial/ethnic majority in the U.S. In the next decade, that will become true of people under 18, very quickly. Yes, it seems that the U.S. is finally going to live up to its message of [...]
