New Media and Journalism 2.0

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:37:15 -0600

It is the new way of thinking about Journalism and media. The industry pundits talk about how the world has been changed at least in their career. No longer will people be able to just write, and no longer will the common man stay silent. The wave of new journalism both enables professionals with new tools and allows novice to compete. Will the news ever be the same again? With portable cameras, phones with video, and audio recording devices that fit in a pen there is a new portability facilitated by the new tools.

My Thoughts on Post-Modernism and the so-called emergent church

Mon, 21 May 2007 16:39:51 -0500

I think the whole play to be “post-modern” is ridiculous. It errs on the side of asserting that we are past the modernism era and we have the ability to ascertain that. Eras get named way after they have passed, not during the transition time. Also, our society is still defined as materialists, naturalists, and technologists all bowing to the god they call science. To pretend that we are past the modern thinking that all questions can be answered by science is a big statement and I don’t think we can assume that or even claim that. I think we are seeing minor shifts in thinking, but I think it is more an adaptation of modernism and a correction of some of the more outrageous modern ways. But as long as we still are a world defined by science (strict materialism and naturalism) then I don’t think we have ushered in any new “post-modern era.”

Of course the emergent church thinkers assure me that people who are much smarter than I have figured it all out and have dedicated their life to figuring out these shift in social trends. Which sure seems like a conflict of interest if you ask me. If you are a person that earns respect and money through books and lectures, wouldn’t you be doing well if you could convince a large group of people that we are in a new era of thinking.

Really Excited about this new book: The Edge of Evolution

Really Excited about this new book: The Edge of Evolution:

The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism - by Michael J. Behe (Author)

“In The Edge of Evolution Michael Behe carefully assesses the evidence of what Darwin’s mechanism of random mutation and selection can achieve in well documented cases, and shows that even in those cases that maximize its power as a creative force it has only been able to generate very trivial examples of evolutionary change. Could such an apparently impotent and mindless force really have built the sophisticated molecular devices found throughout nature? The answer, he insists, is no. The only common-sense explanation is intelligent design.”

— Michael Denton, M.D., Ph.D., author of Nature’s Destiny

first ubuntu post

Fri, 11 May 2007 12:04:38 -0500

I am on my d820, wirelessly posting to my blog! This has been a point of contention for some time now since I got stuck in the dell true mobile 1390 and ubuntu madness. Basically broadcom wireless cards are horrible for linux and there is no really good way to get them working with ubuntu… Yes I know people have had success, but it is mixed and unreliable at best. Thanks intel for making drivers for your card! Intel 3945 wireless has set me on the path of linux righteousness… yeah!

So, Ubuntu, here is your first blog post!
