Making Conversation for the Road

Well, following the crowd (thanks Kalamos!), here’s a funny make-up:

So, you can choose for yourself wich one fits me best.
On a different note, i have been reading The Story We Find Ourselves In: Further Adventures of a New Kind of Christian by Brian McLaren. i have been unfortunate to not yet have read the first book (A New Kind of Christian), but he assures me that i needn’t read the first to understand this one. So far, the thing that struck me the most is the point i have not yet reached, but am longing for: “She was expressive, but she wasn’t the least bit pushy or obnoxious about it,’ Kerry explained. ‘She was so completely sincere and so completely herself that you just accepted her singing and enthusiasm as part of who she was, like her brown skin or black hair or big smile. Somehow, she could be so…’religious’ doesn’t seem like the right word…she could be so happy without expecting anybody else to be. And that made everyone love her” (14). The character here is describing another character who is extensively following Jesus, but without the pushiness most evangelicals strive for. Her faith was as much a part of her as her skin color. It wasn’t something she needed to defend or sell, it was simply her.

  • As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There's a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases. - #
  • Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don't know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed. - #
  • After a long wait, it is official.  I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology.  The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
  • I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I've fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate. - #
