This week I posted four entries related to online religion, including a video and article in which “American Muslims Make Video to Rebut Militants”, a follow up on Heidi Campbell’s exchange with Mac Fans about the Apple/religion issue, a series of essay about the future of religion by people invited to contribute by Patheos. and an abstract of an article about the “ecclesial ramifications of virtual church.” The author commented on it in my blog.
At my Jewish Social Media blog I posted 8 short pointers Jewish Book Council’s Twitter book club, JewishMatches.com, the future of Jewish journalism, videos answering the question “Does the future of Jewish nonprofits rest in social media?”, Yerusha.com – A Website for Older Childless Jews, Tikkun Olam @ lightspeed, and Rabbi Laura Baum.

- Introducing Krutikov’s upcoming book about Wiener: From Kabbalah to Class Struggle (2010)

The six entry for my blog about/for Forestville had pictures from Mirabel Park, signs for Hollydale Community Club’s BBQ and the school’s calendar, videos of California Artisan Cheese Guild and the bands that played at the Forestville Club on July 23 and a notice about the blood drive at the fire station.
On the personal side my mother-in-law was away with her husband on vacation for most of the week, so we (meaning my wife) took care of their dogs and adopted their cat too. You can see the cat on some of the pictures I posted this week about our daughter (pix for all 7 days), but not in our garden (6 pix this week). Friday an old friend and her partner visited us, so we took half a day off to hang out with them. I wrote up reflections of some movies I thought, but backdated them to June on the blog:
One for the numbers: When this entry shows up on my twitter account, it will by my thousandth entry there.
And the picture of the week of me from the couch:
I wish I was that prolific!
Your pic makes me feel we need to get acquainted again…
