I’ve had a nice week of vacation with my family. We’re in New York City. Bed-Stuy, baby. Though we spent a buncha time in the Poconos, PA. And we drove up to the Catskills and back today. I rode the 6 train for the first time on Monday. It’s cheesy, but all I know about the 6 train is that J.Lo song (or album?). Went up to the South Bronx - dang. Tomorrow morning, very early, I fly to Seattle from LGA, going through Chicago. I’ll speak tomorrow night at the Act Six National Convention. Dig it. Tim Herron and them. When that’s done I’ll be back in ‘dena.
Here are some links. Talk amongst yourselves.
Blackwater got the gig securing Obama in Afghanistan: This is kinda silly, but I can’t resist. So much negative stuff gets said about these “defense contractors.”
Bush to attend church in China, urge religious freedom: History will look kindly on El Bushero
T-mobile 3G launching in October: Too late says R.Carrasco
Three shot in seven hours in Pasadena: my hometown, while I’ve been away
TV really might cause autism: interesting
The Spoiled Children of Capitalism: “This is the irony of capitalism. It is not zero-sum, but it feels like it is. Capitalism coordinates humanity toward peaceful, productive cooperation, but it feels alienating. Collectivism does the opposite, at least when dreamed up on paper. The communes and collectives imploded in inefficiency, drowned in blood. The kibbutz lives on only as a tourist attraction, a baseball fantasy camp for nostalgic socialists. Meanwhile, billions have ridden capitalism out of poverty. And yet the children of capitalism still whine.”
Obama, the Postmodernist: Paging the emerging church (I know, we’re not talking about postmodernism anymore. But still.)
and finally…
“They” say I will be “officially” live-blogging a coupla sessions of this week’s Willow Creek Leadership Summit. Me and Chris Brooks. And others. I assume. Hit me up.
Here’s my baby!
