Can I suggest you head over to Akma’s blog to read his post about the death of Aaron Swartz. It is moving and thoughtful and expresses more eloquently than I can how I feel about this death.
Most people won’t know Aaron’s name. However we all get the benefit of his work.
As Akma says, “the churches have an intrinsic interest in communication, free communication, profligate communication.”
Hear, hear.
Re: Hearse Victory
Surely where the money is coming from is irrelevant if it is being used wastefully! Wasteful is wastful no matter what the source and, in this case, as a cyclist, I would say they have definitely got it wrong. Is this a surprise to anyone?
Re: Hearse Victory
Actually, for all my arm waving, I'm not opposed to the cycle route being done in Keir street. I've been campaigning about the junction at Keir Street/Melville Place for 2 years now and this project means that the junction will get the attention that it needs. Whether that is paid for from a cycling budget or from wherever, does not really matter.
We are also getting a mini-roundabout at the junction of Keir Street and Henderson Street, which will calm the traffic coming into the village – something which people have said that they want.
The day begins with the discovery that someone (a member of the Orthodox church community who use the church sometimes) left a box of candles on a heater yesterday. The mess and stench greet me when I go into church at 0730 to get ready for the early service.
There was an outbreak of chiasmus in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, with this comment coming from David McLetchie: “Wouldn't it be ironic if … the criminals can be smokers but the smokers will become criminals?”Very clever. Of such stuff preachers are made and preachers make stuff of.
That last blog entry about the Election is an example of an apophatic blog entry. Not many of them about in the blogsphere.
I'd just like you to note how good I am being at not blogging anything about the Episcopal Election in this diocese.Lead us not into temptation.
