I have just been reading books on how the Web allows for Voice (in the tradition of "The Cluetrain Manifesto") by two of its contributor authors, Christopher Locke and David Weinberger. I have been toiling and ranting about this idea as it relates to the theological community over the past 10 years. Chris Locke wrote "Gonzo Marketing" , wherein he espouses his conviction thatthe free expression the Web gives for people to go on and on about what energizes them. This is like the meaning of life. It is where our God-given gifts/talents, and the world meet. We can use this passion, along with people we discover are related tous in this sense, and do something positive in the world.

It is the day of my 19th wedding anniversary, and in style of the way we met, my wife and I are having Pizza Hut pizza (she worked for a Pizza Hut where the girfriend of a friend of mine also worked, and the two of them got the two of us together). So that should be fun, and get me all retroflective and nostalgic and romantic and stuff. As I am being retroflective and just reflective in general, I have also been doing a bit of refelcting on my vocation, which seems quite up in the air at the moment (at least as far as it concerns what I'm actually doing for a living). I seem to pick out the most impractical professions to pursue, like something related to the Church that involves new technology. We know what that history is like.
