Sunday Seven

  1. Suddenly, the paranoids don’t seem so paranoid anymore. A Wired article about how easily we surrender our privacy.
  2. How do you put your heart into something dull? Signal vs. Noise has a great anecdote about that very problem, from author Hillman Curtis.
  3. New taxes for the internet are coming. States seek to replace lost sales taxes AND collect fees wherever they can. From CNET via Slashdot.
  4. Getting your essential info together. Recent events have reminded me how important to have a small number of very important papers in good order for your family. This Lifehacker post gives you a good rundown on how to do it.
  5. Success covers a multitude of sins. Here’s a short post from Out of Ur about how pastoral leadership is often measured in a worldly way…success at what you trumps major character problems.
  6. Pulling the pieces apart. Jessica Friesen served at MHCC last summer with Group Work Camps. Now she’s in Malawi for the next six months. This is her blog, and it’s worth reading.
  7. Finally, a joke I heard on NPR: A Buddhist walks up to a hot dog vendor and says: “Make me one with everything”.
