Too many Conferences, Too much distance, Too little time

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Rosary Army and SQPN are hosting the Catholic New Media Celebration on June 22 in Atlanta. Unfortunately that’s still the school year for me and it’s just too far to go for a weekend. If it were even one week later, my family would be there. I need to be with [...]

Hiatus is over. It’s time to communitize.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

After posting about 50 daily posts for my 40 Days of Catholic Media project, I thought I would take a couple days off before I got back to posting here.  Well, it’s been 3 weeks and here I am.  I originally started this blog as a way to explore the intersection between social media communities [...]

Yes folks, this is another of my posts riddled with p’s, and I’m not even mentioning Popple this time (oops– too late).

I was on TV (for 5 seconds)

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I have always been reticent about making a public witness to my faith, preferring to let my actions and my character be a witness to my faith. (I still think this is the best witness).
Over the past couple years, by participating in the online community around Rosary Army and Catholic podcasting, and with [...]

Easter is Here! The 40 Days are Over.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Many years ago, I was able to spend Easter at Madonna House. Several of us stayed up all night after the Easter Vigil, then made a pre-dawn hike up a mountainous hill to get to Ascension Rock– a large outcropping overlooking the Madawaska River Valley for sunrise. We made a slight miscalculation. [...]

Day 27: SQPN website gets major overhaul

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I have featured alot of SQPN podcasts during this 40 days project, but that is because I have sort of ‘grown up’ with the SQPN community. Two of the first podcasts I listened to regularly were the Rosary Army and the Catholic Insider . As the apostolates of Rosary Army and SQPN have [...]

I surrender. 40 Days of Catholic Media is a podcast. When I started this project I deliberately didn’t call it a podcast. It was just a post a day that could contain text, pictures, audio or video– in short, a multimedia project. However people keep asking how they can subscribe to [...]
