An Inconvenient Video

January31

Grrrrrr.

I just came home from renting An Inconvenient Truth, so I could FINALLY watch it. I know, it’s sad to be so late to the game, but hey, I have a 2-year-old.

I opened the box, thinking that I’m cool with watching a documentary with Maya over dinner. They. Didn’t. Remove. The. Security. Device.

Grumble. I have a pizza arriving in minutes, so I guess we’ll see this one another time. Instead, I may still watch Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (or whatever it’s called)…but that likely will need to wait until after Maya’s bedtime.

messiness

January25

I’ve imported posts from Oh, for the love of God… to here — so there’s a little disarray that I expect to continue for a time as I remove/rename categories and whatnot.

Thanks to Fred for the link to the WordPress-to-WordPress import/export plugin. Once I deleted the *thousands* of akismet comment spam, my file size was small enough to import old posts, categories, and comments quickly! Woo-hoo!

new page

January19

In case you hadn’t noticed…there’s a new page up above. From time to time, as I continue to settle into the new digs, I’ll be adding pages, so keep your eyes open.

Hey, Mike…

sub-con-scious-ly

Uh, yes.

More coming on prayer

January18

I’ve been seriously delinquent with posting a follow-up on last week’s thoughts about prayer. I had a long IM conversation with one friend (she’s given permission to post it), then Kate had some great thoughts in the comments.

The follow-up is coming soon. Promise.

Photos not displaying

January4

My photos don’t seem to display properly in a post. *sigh* I went through this when I first used K2 on FTLOG, and fixed it — but can’t remember for the life of me what I changed!

***ah-ha! it’s a firefox issue — they show in IE. now what?***

Call for nerdy help

January3

I’d like to eventually export all of the posts from FTLOG and move them here, with their own category. While I can find all kinds of info about *importing* into wordpress, I’m not finding much about exporting — or importing from WP to WP, for that matter.

Any hints or suggestions?

Allison
Los Alamos, NM
After a childhood of immersion in my family's religious tradition, I hit college and my first true experience with the question, "why?" Why did I believe as I did? If I thought about it, I had no idea. So, I spent the next ten years not thinking about it.

.

Once I hit 30, I began asking myself that question all over again. A few years later, I woke one day to realize that I simply didn't believe. For many reasons, I am a much happier (and more emotionally healthy) person having let go of god. There are still days that I wish god did exist. It would be a relief to relinquish responsibility to a greater power.

.

But, even better, I can see life for what it is, and work with reality. That's more powerful than any god could hope to be.
