Update:  Wow, I submitted this post just before the deadline at 9:56pm EST.  By 10:30 Sarah had Catholic Carnival 200 posted, and it’s a doozer.

Congratulations to everyone involved for 200 weeks of the Catholic Carnival, (the longest permanent floating crap game Catholic Blog Carnival on the Internet).

Reflecting on what to write about for this week’s carnival led me to write a mini carnival of my own.  My involvement with Catholic blogging, podcasting and social media has been a means belonging to a community of believers throughout the world.  The reason I produce the  Catholic New Media Roundup is help foster and grow this community in my own little way.

A few recent posts illustrate this point.  A couple of weeks ago,  The Catholic Journeyman talked about the reasons he blogs in:Just how Catholic are we?

How “Catholic” are we to put study, energy and time into this, ahem “hobby”? I dont see this as fanatical or extreme, and yet my first inclination is to respond citing the convenience of this technology and using it for Evangelization, but thats just a thread in the cloth here. Its a discovery process, growing a community of believers, etc.

I have become a great fan of the Amateur Catholic Bloggers, The B team of Catholic Bloggers.  Their motto is, ” We don’t write books or do speaking tours.  In fact, we barely do our jobs. We’re the B-Team of Catholic Bloggers.”  Their sense of humor and the seriousness with which they undertake the (hobby? passion? addiction?) of sharing their faith using new media greatly speaks to me.  I’ll definitely be applying to join the B-Team.

On Catholic Moments #79 Lisa Hendey interviewed Bryan Murdaugh, a talented Catholic Dad, youth minister and musician, and social media friend of mine.  During the interview, Lisa asked Bryan why he uses social media to reach out to the youth he ministers to.   He gave a long and thoughtful answer, but summed it up with, “After all, the Eucharist is the original social network”.   Amen to that.

I’m trying to grow that social network of the body of Christ in my own little way through my blogs and podcasts.  Please consider contributing to my Catholic New Media Advent Calendar project which will feature content from a different guest blogger, podcaster or musician each day in December.

For the past several month, Bryan Murdaugh has been presenting a monthly online virtual house concert on Ustream.tv. This month’s concert is Tomorrow, November 19, 2008 at 8pm EST. You can find it at http://www.ustream.tv/murdaugh. I will be doing an opening set for Bryan beginning at a little after 7:35pm EST at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ductapeguy-live.

Edit: You can view the concert here now. I had a couple of technical difficulties with my camera but I enjoyed being in the supporting spot for my friend Bryan, and he truly rawked the ustream

That was fun but I had quite a fight with my cameras and audio devices to get them working, then my camera crapped out in the middle of the first song. Fortunately, I had another camera ready to roll, so I just switched over, but my backup camera is of considerably lower quality. I’ll definitely keep doing this ustream thing from time to time. I think I’ll be able to work the kinks out.

After 8 months and 10 shows (or 44 if you count the 40 days of Catholic Media during lent), my wife and I thought it was time for the Catholic New Media Roundup to have it’s own domain.  We have registered and set up catholicroundup.com to point back to the blog at cc.ductapeguy.net .  If you are already subscribed to the blog and podcast, there will be no immediate change, but you have to admit that catholicroundup.com is a much more memorable domain name.
