No, this rePost does not have anything to do with the theological validity of potlucks but one I posted last Friday that I believe is worth looking at again, as no one posted comments on it.... As I have been delving into creating an open source CMS and continually engaging in social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and others I have begun to ask myself (and be asked by others) about the connective tissue between these and my previous stream of posts on story/storytelling (which I greatly appreciate Jason and Steve's comments upon). My intial observations are these we often tell our stories without even being aware of it, in ways we are no longer even conscious of through what we listen to, what we read, what we consume and how we publicize and encourage others to consume. recently, I found that my re-tweeting excerpts from morning and evening prayers from TheUrbanAbbey was inadvertently encouraging others to follow these prayers as well, adding a whole new dimension

I am very interested in nanotechnology but I also am concerned of the long term affects of such technology which we are just getting into. The problem is I feel like the motion is already underway and little can be done to stop it. Much like the oil/gas drilling; I am concerned but it seems that our addiction to fossil fuels keeps the boat sailing in a way which I cannot stop.
Where is all this cynicism coming from in me? It must be Tuesday.
agree, will need to look at all forms of alternative energy with close eye in order to avoid doing more harm than good. ethanol is one of those that seemed like a great idea until people realized that we could be using corn to feed the starving people of the world rather than feed our American need to drive our giant SUV to get a slurpee.
