September 12th, 2008 — blogtour, writing
When Tina Howard (spaghettipie and Blog Tour Spot) asked me to participate in a blog tour for Marla Alupoaicei, I happily agreed. I met Marla at Mt. Hermon, and we had a good conversation. She’s also a published poet.
That’s why I’m posting about her latest book, Generation Hex, written with Dillon Burroughs. I promised to post a review. I do have many concerns about the book, though.

Last week, I interviewed Michael Card when I was out at Laity Lodge. We’re looking to create a Laity Lodge podcast, and I’m exploring some tools here to see what that might look like for them. As a bonus, Sandy Wood of StarDate fame was also there, and she generously loaned us her voice for the intro/outro.
This one’s branded as Laity Lodge since it’s an experiment for them, but I’ll probably consolidate all of my other podcasts here over a set period of time.

Here’s what I had to do.

At FastCompany this month, Clive Thompson asks, “Is the Tipping Point Toast?” He makes a good point that “your average slob is just as likely as a well-connected person to start a huge new trend.”
Why should any readers of GoodWordEditing.com care?

September 11th, 2007 — interviews, thehighcalling.org
That’s Dick Staub quoting C. S. Lewis. I asked him about Christian media when I interviewed him recently for TheHighCalling.org. His answer suprised and delighted me, “I don’t think that there is such a thing as Christian media. In a sense, I agree with C. S. Lewis who said, ‘We don’t need more Christian writers. We need more great writers who are Christian.’ ”
