Kris and I just posted a new episode of the podcast. Today, as Kristen enters early labor (!!!!) we chit chat about, well, labor, the medicinal properties of raspberry leaf tea, traditional home remedies in general, the Go Red Campaign, Paste magazine, Eucharistic adoration and prayer and silence in general in a busy, media saturated […]
Here's a link to a blog post by our editor, Nick Pappas. He writes: "If you think you've already read this posting before, keep reading — it just seems that way. After being named Newspaper of the Year last month by the New England Press Association, another New England news organization has bestowed a similar […]
Here's a podcast, SSL4YOU Spanish Segunda Lengua, I found in the comments section at the last site I posted about. It's in Spanish — but Spanish spoken slowly and distinctly enough to be of use for learners of a number of levels… Have only listened to one of them…. but they seem well produced… [Repost […]

Here's a cool tutorial (with examples of YouTube uploads at different settings) on the best settings for exporting video via Windows Movie Maker for playback via YouTube. The gist: 320×240 at 512KBS. (Which is the Video for Broadband 512KBS setting in Movie Maker.)
Kris and I did another episode of the podcast yesterday morning. You can listen to it here. A few technical observations: We've switched from GCast free podcast hosting service to Podomatic's free hosting service – huge differences in social networking tools available (email messaging, audio comments, friends, etc.), as well as a pretty strong stats […]
Kevin Federline (Britney Spears' ex) has launched his own branded search engine – http://searchwithkevin.prodege.com. He's giving away prizes to random searchers in an effort to promote his acting and music. Strange days in search, commoditization, branding, marketing… hmmm.
This has been an amazing Lenten journey this year — which I'm not feeling eloquent enough to explain without descending into cliches, so I'll skip that for now. There are two weeks and some days left in the season. So while we're waiting for Easter, I'm going to repost the piece I wrote at the […]
