Google Browser
I have that same feeling I had back in the Mac vs. PC, IE vs. Netscape days... a heady feeling of partisanship. I feel great affection for Google, and use several of their suite of products... the deskbar, IE browser bar, Blogger (obviously), gmail, notifier, image search, and so forth. If they do bring out a browser (go Opera!?! [but I'd love a Firefox version, too) I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Yahoo! News - Falling Crucifix Kills Woman
Yahoo! News - Falling Crucifix Kills Woman:
Oddly Enough - Reuters
ROME (Reuters) - A 67-year-old woman was killed when a three-meter tall metal crucifix fell on her head in a small southern Italian town on Wednesday, police said.
The cross, which has been in the main square on Sant'Onofrio for decades, fell on Maddalena Camillo while workers were setting up lights for an annual religious festival.
Italy, home to the Vatican, is a predominantly Roman Catholic country where crucifixes and religious icons and effigies are a common sight in most towns and villages.

Casey writes:
"ritual is a word that has lost much of its power, i think. people talk about empty rituals, and it is true that a ritual can be empty, or not entirely in tune with our times, but i think more often that we are enacting it emptily (if that's a word) - - that we are mouthing or moving without really connecting with, learning about and from, and enlivening and bringing into the reality of our lives this ritual for ourselves."
This is thought provoking. I suspect that I'm going to have a lot to say about this article after I think about it for a while. But here is my first shot across your bow: One reason that people don't do ritual right... is because ritual done right can change you, and change is frightening...

Ship of Fools: the Magazine of Christian Unrest
Why, oh why, can't I ever come up with something this good? I must be even "more dim" than I previously thought. This site... just sighted today (thanks, Casey!) will require some serious investigation to uncover all of its pious mysteries.

A gentle bounce straight up, so it arrives under your mouse pointer just as you click seems to be the best way to play this game

Another Bug on the page
This time, instead of chopping the page off too early, the page is listing every post back into July, instead of stopping at 20 days, as I want. I got rid of the first bug by dumping all of the ads on the page (since almost no one is reading this, why bother with ads???)

Tracking Ivan: My latest addiction
I've recently been brought into the "Storm2K" brotherhood of weather fans. This is an active site with a lot of people who have strong opinions. Emotions can run high, and as Ivan wanders around near the entrance to the Gulf (new term of the day: Yucatan Channel) stress levels are very high. I'm learning a lot about storms, though, and have been led to many interesting wx sites.

zipdecode | ben fry
An interesting, interactive map of the US. As you type out a zip code, the zip code lights on the map dim, leaving behind a smaller and smaller region that is illuminated. Finally, you end up with a specific town.
