- 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 only recognize Zizek and Hauerwas. Does ‘Universalism’ mean what I think it does or is it something different in this sense? As in Universal Unitarianism? Coexist? Embrace all faiths?
On the people, it’s being organized by the university where John Milbank is employed (Univ of Nottingham, UK). I’m familiar with Agamben, Hauerwas (Duke), van Inwagen (Notre Dame), Milbank, Zizek. I’ve heard mention of some of the others, but have not read any of their works.
Universalism is meant in the sense of ecumenism, the universal Church as opposed to the church down the road.
