Happy 100th Birthday, Marshall McLuhan
Thursday, July 21st, 2011We all know Marshall McLuhan for his overly quoted phrases: “the medium is the message” and the “global village”; but how many of us have actually read any McLuhan?

Laity Lodge Consultation on Technology (March 10-13, 2011)
Saturday, April 16th, 2011I got a chance to hang out with a bunch of really interesting people engaged with the intersection between faith and technology, at an event last month, the Laity Lodge Consultation on Technology, in the Texas Hill Country. The keynote speakers were Eugene Peterson, whom I studied under at Regent College, and Albert Borgmann, who […]

Saturday, February 12th, 2011What does it mean for a company to “do no evil” (Google’s motto)? Here’s an interesting article on the challenges companies face when their employees get involved in political activism:
Wael Ghonim: A “One-Off” for Silicon Valley?
You say you want a Revolution 2.0
Saturday, February 12th, 2011The streets of Cairo and Alexandria and news media around the world are abuzz with stories of what has been unfolding in Egypt over the past 18 days. History is being written. Something unprecedented has happened. A strong dictator who has been in power for 30 years has been ousted. Things are still very uncertain […]
