Progressive faith

by Josh at 8:49 pm

I went to a Jim Wallis talk/book signing last night at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston. It was essentially an expansion on the interviews he’s been giving lately. And by that, I mean he’s saying a lot of the same things word for word, just last night he said more of them. [...]

Meaningful action items

by Josh at 2:58 pm

Did I really just send an e-mail to Ted Kennedy and John Kerry asking them to oppose the nomination of Alberto Gonzales? At least I know that my request isn’t falling on deaf ears.
This was an action item that got through Sojo.net today. I suppose that I don’t have grounds to write to [...]

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Document

by Susannah at 9:27 am

So, I braved the big library last week and found a really good spot to work. The back of the library looks over Storrow Drive and the Charles River and I’ve decided that this view is the one for me. Especially since the Charles is frozen and it keeps reminding me of Eternal [...]

Weather and events combining to make things very weird

by Josh at 9:06 am

So, I’m at work today and NOBODY IS HERE. Which is not surprising to me. We’re closed today after all. And tomorrow too. Apparently, Boston is cancelled for the entire week due to snow. So this was the week that didn’t happen; then why did oh-so-much have to happen?
I found [...]

Last comment about Jon Stewart and Jim Wallis… I promise

by Josh at 9:13 pm

You can see the interview online.
Or at least you can if you’re not using linux and having difficulties viewing imbedded windows media player files. Damn Microsoft and propietary software.

My life will never be the same again

by Susannah at 2:59 pm

Why, you ask? Why because I have today become the owner of a 12″ Powerbook G4 with SuperDrive. I think I’m still in shock on some level…I have no words to express this glorious euphoria. We finally decided on Friday night that we going to get it now and we hashed out [...]

Round Two… Fight!

by Josh at 11:16 am

That would be Bostonians vs. The Weather. Our second winter storm this week is upon us and street conditions are deteriorating rapidly. Work is closing early today.

Due to massive snow

by Susannah at 3:33 pm

Alas, the snow induced hibernation is soon to be over: BU is open tomorrow. Their website announcement of this includes the phrase “However, due to massive snow…” I agree, yes, it is massive. Took pictures of Josh shoveling a channel in front of our house. There is also something hilarious about [...]

Becoming Microsoft free

by Josh at 2:04 pm

So I’m giving up my compaq notebook this week when my job ends. I’m also giving up Windows at the same time. I installed a new hard disk in my old desktop and installed linux on it. The old hard disk with Windows is still there and we will need it to [...]

Counter argument for BND and NOMDD

by Josh at 12:48 pm

In the interests of equal time, here is a blog that criticises Not One More Damn Dime Day and others like it (Buy Nothing Day is mentioned specifically.) After reading it, I have to admit that he has some good points but I still think he’s a little off the mark. There likely [...]
