I am loving this book! Originally published in 1976, revised in 1996, it pretty much sums up what I feel about the church, and what my church, bluer, is trying to accomplish. It was radical then and is still radical now…
Last time I checked journalists were support to report and inform, not simply repeat the lies of big business…
Global music sales fall for four years in a row
No mention that sales could be down because:
1. There are no ‘supergroups’ or must have albums
2. Overall music quality has declined as more and more ‘manufactured’ performers are being made
3. Singles sales are mostly gone beacuse people realized they were rip-offs
4. A few companies control music so originality and creativily are being stifled
5. People are paying less by bargain shopping on the internet instead of paying overpriced record stores
6. The industry refuse to innovate and change with the times
etc.
etc.
etc.
Music industry: Move on!
Make a quality product, make it easy to buy at a reasonable price… allow them to play it where they want to… and people will buy it… what a concept!

Here’s a crazy thought: The blog Bible (the Bible in blog form). Just watch one of the Bible publishers try it

Wow. This totally illustrates the divide between mainstream conservatives and the emerging culture. Swear once, and you’re taboo! Sinners beware!
[Relevant Magazine Editor Cameron Strang] “You’d think in a conservative Christian world, an issue with Bono on the cover would cause some controversy, but it didn’t,” he said. “The people who get it, support it, and the people who don’t, don’t even know we exist.”
In that vein, the Christian Coalition’s national spokeswoman said she hadn’t heard of Relevant Media but didn’t love the idea of an issue featuring Bono — who last year caused a ruckus when he uttered the f-word on live television during the Golden Globes.
“I don’t agree with what Bono did — the language is terrible,” said the CC’s Michele Ammons. “We should not promote him. I don’t agree with putting Bono on the cover.”

I picked up a second 512MB CF card yesterday (MicroCenter had a screaming deal + rebate). So now I have 1 GB of photo storage for my Digital Camera. Nice.
Now before you ask “How would you ever use that?” remember that a 5 Megapixel camera takes 1-2 MB photos on FINE and 40MB photos in TIFF mode, so it’s not that far of a stretch, especially when you’re heading on vacation for a week…
