This week I finally started to post some of my own observations and ideas on my blog about online religion. In the first such postI assessed why I need to I will need to familiarize myself with the study of religion and (old) media, think of the two way nature of internet and religion (not just how offline religion plays out on the net, but the other way around too), be aware and systematically think through the numerous disciplines the topic can be viewed from. I summed up the second post with these sentences: “Religious magazines are on Facebook, which is the de facto social networking site now, but maybe not be that forever. E.g. if Google enters the field or a successful religious site does.” In a third post I linked to a new case study about “Promoting Interfaith Education Through ICT.”
In my local blog about/for Forestville I pointed out two concerts (Hot Frittatas and Mike Emerson). quoted the Press Democrat coverage of Forestville and a review of a local deli (Aioli), posted a reminder about the town expo and introduced a local company (Sarah’s Silks) I saw there.
On the personal side I’ve seen three documentaries (No. 4 Street of Our Lady, Google baby, Keeping the kibbutz), two dramas (There were nights and Gruber’s journey) and one sci-fi (Virtuality). Sunday we went to San Francisco to a concert in the Golden Gate Park in honor of the Hungarian national holiday of August 20. On the way back we stopped for Russian pastries and Vietnamese dinner. I posted pics of our garden every day this past week but managed to post of our daughter only on three.
And the picture of the week of me,playing with mirrors:
