Thinking of Israel

January 31st, 2010

I've never been a person who wanted to go to Israel. I've known lots of people who wanted to go, and a good number of people - pastors and professors and such - who have been, but nothing I'd heard in the past has been at all compelling.

code · Video for Everybody!
"Video for Everybody is very simply a chunk of HTML code that embeds a video into a website using the HTML5 <video> element which offers native playback in Firefox 3.5, Safari 3 & 4, Google Chrome and an increasing number of other browsers." It falls back to QuickTime, then to Flash, if necessary. Beautiful.

Kester Brewin » Haiti | To Hell With Altruistic Capitalism
"Please, please give generously to help Haiti get back on its feet. But in a week or so when the story has gone from our screens, let’s not forget them, and let’s try to get the systemic issues sorted out. They need debt forgiven. They need minimum wage agreements. They need symmetric fair trade agreements. They need to be given a fair chance, especially by the US."

Processing suffering

January 14th, 2010

We continue to watch the misery that the Haitian people continue to endure. I feel that it is impossible to overstate, and also impossible for us on the outside to understand.
