Next week Joe, Pernell, Jared and myself are going on a tour around Ontario for the church plant documentary we are working on. Should be a fun trip. You can follow everything here and our itinerary is here also.
-----------------------
Here are a few links that the nerd in me is excited for that you might not care about at all.

Gmail is extending how much space I will get, this is good cause I'm running out.

Firefox is incorporating smooth image scaling now just waiting for IE.

When Flash 9 comes out, it will incorporate H.264 coding, which is a major step for video on the internet

I am really starting to love Smashing Magazine, they are a great help to me in web design
-----------------------
I'm all about being progressive, this might have been too far? (ht)
-----------------------
My mind has been racing lately because I'm trying to get a column with the local newspaper here in the religion section and I'm trying to think of the direction I want to head with it. Also, because we are studying Genesis at theStory and the books I'm reading are rocking my world.
-----------------------
I just ordered four new books. Shock Doctrine, No Logo, End of Poverty and Freakonomics. Looking forward to them all as soon as I'm done this one and this one.
-----------------------
I'm heading to the World Championship of Rock, Paper, Scissors tomorrow and I'm competing. I'll let you know how it goes.

No Logo is a classic and was a wake-up call to a lot of people (myself included) when it was first published. However, I think that The Shock Doctrine is actually the better of the two books. Simply stated: it is exceptional, perhaps the best book I have read this year (and I've read a decent amount of good books this year). It is also worth reading before The End of Poverty, as it will force you to see Sachs from a very different angle.

Grace and peace.

Nathan ... for what it is worth, Harper's October 2007 issue's lead article is by N.Klein on Disaster Economics. I picked it up this morning, but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. She was here last Sat pm at a book launch/signing.

Two other books, and Coop started this ... Thomas Homer-Dixon's Ingenuity Gap ( '01 ) and Upside of Down ( '06 ) have been pretty influential in my thinking recently. See www.homerdixon.com/
