PBS has an interesting program called Religion and Ethics (If you live in the U.S., use this tool to see when it airs in your region. Here in KC it comes on at 12:30 on Sundays on KCPT.) This weekend “American Evangelicals,” part 1 of 4, will be shown.

I offer no comment except to quote Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakis in an SNL skit from 1988, “I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy” (WAV file, 135k).
An AP reporter called me this afternoon asking to arrange an interview. It seems he read the story that Heidi did for the University News and now he’s interested, too.
I’ve gotten more mileage out of saying I’m going to get a tattoo without actually getting a tattoo, yet, than I would have thought possible.
I’ve mentioned David Liss before. He’s the author of three well-reviewed historical novels: A Conspiracy of Paper, The Coffee Trader, and A Spectacle of Corruption. This Wednesday, Liss will discuss his work and sign copies of his books at Unity Temple on the Plaza: 707 W. 47th Street, 7 p.m. For more information, call Rainy Day Books at (913) 384-3126.
In the interests of experimenting with a variety of online, collaborative technologies, I installed a very simple wiki. Play around with it, if you like. It’s the simplest one I could find: PhpWiki.
I’m not sure, yet, what use I/we might have for a wiki, but it’s worth experimenting. If you’re unfamiliar with wikis, check out the relevant entry in the Wikipedia. I think I would install MediaWiki if I had a specific project in mind because it seems to provide more controls over editing.
