AKMA’s Random Thoughts

Things I Owe

I’ll try to catch up today by blogging the last few days of the choir tour and posting photos. I’ll acknowledge David Weinberger’s welcome-back greeting (oops! just did that) and join in his temporary-bachelor status (pizza for dinner tonight, no cigars). I’ll catch up on bills and mail the post cards that I didn’t mail from France ’cause I didn’t have a convenient interval to get to a tabac to buy stamps. I’ll work on my fall term course online resources. I’ll procrastinate and have to do some of this tomorrow, or next week. I’ll think a lot about Margaret (who’s on her way to pick Pippa up in New Jersey) and Pippa (whom I haven’t seen for a month). I’ll link to Jordon Cooper, who’s way on board with congregations and online interaction, and is writing about it on his blog. And speaking of Exemplary Technotheologians, Bob Carlton is getting ready to start seminary, brave soul, and he asks for our prayers.

[Later: Since I’ having a Weinberger link-a-thon, I’ll note in response to David’s remarks about music-file-sharing, that what I usually say is, “It’s more complicated than that.” Doc Searls promulgated Searls’ Corollary, “It’s more complicated than it appears,” and everyone, Casey Stengel possibly excepted, seems at one point or another to have said either “The devil is in the details” or “God is in the details.” But being quoted is heady enough that I’m not about to quibble; that’s exactly what I said on an occasion that I don’t remember as well as David does.]
