• LAtimes.com on St. Cecila's : Priest gives responsibility of running church to congregation & church life revives.  
• Preach it, brother! - "I don't do much of anything that elicits the response: 'I never saw a white man do that. Good for you. Your people must be so proud.'" - Milton on white man's burden.
  
  Unique bird of the day: Saw a crow pulling a part a small hawk on top of a rusted metal oil pump/rig in Long Beach today.  Was wondering if the hawk was dead or alive when the crow got it? Due to driving by at 45 mph, did not take a photo.

  Thomas Hawk on PhotoWalking: I may not agree with TH on all his points, but here is very good guide on how to take daily photos everywhere you go.  The main point is to take a camera with you at all times, big or small, and take photos.
  
  The SixtyOne:  The Music version of Digg. Have you used it? Added songs or got inspired by SixtyOne?
  
  SVN: While I hate SubVersion with a passion, C. Michael Pilato has been kind enough to put up a pdf version of his O'Reilly book online.  I will try to reconcile myself with SVN.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Darn it all, I like FTP!
  
• How Windows Users are Conditioned: Tom Negrino sums up: "It was like a tire puncture or something; just one of those things that happen. And that's what I find so pernicious about Windows. It's conditioned tens of millions of people to the idea that computers are unreliable and a huge pain in the ass. And that things that go wrong just can't be helped."

• Ben Brown on why he quit Facebook: "I don’t want the Internet to be the bastard child of basic cable and Walmart. I want the Internet to be something better, where control of the media really is democratized and where I can truly find content and services that are crafted with me and people like me in mind."  (Ms. Jen says - Preach it, brother!)
