How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Atheists
Posted on July 22, 2010 | View CommentsUPDATE: The original post at Nonprophet Status has made it to the front page of WordPress.com. WOOHOO!
My dear friend Chris Stedman over at the Nonprophet Status blog (Respecting Religion, Staying Secular) invited me to write a guest post for him. So I did. It’s called “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Atheists“, and I’ve included a short excerpt – the real meat of the piece can be found by following the link out. Enjoy, and visit Nonprophet Status OFTEN.

The lies inherent in my nature films, Part 1
Posted on July 21, 2010 | View CommentsI like to make nature films. Anyone who subscribes to my Youtube channel understands this. I like to think of myself as a modern-day Steve the Crocodile Hantah mixed with a bit of old PBS nature shows. Then when you combine these two bits, you throw in a dash of WHAT-THE-HELL and blend thoroughly. My fans have accused me of misrepresenting the natural world. I accuse them of nothing. Watch these three videos and tell me what you think. Do I lie? I’ll be posting a companion video series tomorrow.

Living “off” the web – The Incursion Lifestyle
Posted on July 20, 2010 | View Comments
- I fully expect this to happen.
My Droid X is in the mail. It’s a phone that happens to do internet things in a groovy way. It can also spawn multiple copies of itself that morph into common household appliances. I made up that last part. Having a smartphone (in the Droid’s case, a superphone) will change the way that I use the internet. Here’s how I think this will happen.

Digital Social Contract, Part 1
Posted on July 16, 2010 | View Comments
- The Internet King
A lot of writers talk the web’s effect on how we communicate and collaborate and all kinds of other things. I’m more concerned with how the web is changing society and what it means for our future togetherness and apartness. Let’s drag up the old term “social contract” and stick the word “digital” in front of it.

7 job interview tips inspired by Twitter

- So…how many followers do you have?
Mark Mann over at Denvelopers asked me to construct an interesting list. At the time, I was deep inside a job search. Inspired by that process and the ways in which I’ve seen Twitter rise to prominence, this is what I came up with.

The Bay Area Dispatch of Doom Vol. 16 (New job edition)
Posted on July 12, 2010 | View CommentsNOTE: This is a modified “for public consumption” version of my world-famous (yeah right) email newsletter. A slightly less-edited version is available – just write me!
Hello friends,
Mung beans are about $1.19 in the bulk food aisle at Whole Foods. You can take these beans and sprout them in a Mason jar. A pound of beans will make BOATLOADS of fresh, tasty, nutritious sprouts. Good eatin’! And yes, I realize that the acronym for the Dispatch is now B.A.D.D. – it’s cuz I’m such a tough guy. :)

This is a shot from the ruins of Ephesus in Turkey. To be honest, the color stood out almost this well in real life. :)

How Highway 101 and Highway 280 explain (almost) everything
Posted on July 8, 2010 | View CommentsIn late May of this year, I wrapped up my work as a Faiths Act Fellow with the Interfaith Youth Core and Tony Blair Faith Foundation. My site-partner Hafsa (you can read Hafsa’s wondrous blog here) and I lived in the South Bay, and we used office space provided by Islamic Networks Group. Our interfaith/malaria work (strategy here) invariably had us driving to San Francisco two or three times a week. It’s a little over 100 miles roundtrip. We did a lot of driving.
