@LeahBSassy Good tidings to you today, @LeahBSassy. Was out and about taking the pulse of the parish this morn. Seems some folk are forgetting Jesus. Might even go so far as to say such remembrance begins right here. Please feel free to ask for support if you ever need it. I'm happy to wave.

Prior to stepping into the greenworld, I bounced around high tech. Among other efforts, I helped jumpstart the National Information Infostructure Awards, in its day the 'Oscars of the Information Superhighway' - which later morphed briefly into the the Global Information Infostructure Awards, before sinking without trace. By then I had moved on to co-found the National Computer Ethics & Responsibilities Campaign with Dr. Peter Tippett (then of Symantec). The Congressional Briefing on Computer Ethics we co-chaired, was responsible, I believe, for hosting the first ever web connection in the U.S. Congress. Pressing on, I conceived and placed the website for the Save the Earth Artrock Auction; conceived and curated World 3, a metahypermedia exploration of website design which engaged the contributions of many of the world's leading hypertext philosophers: "...World 3 is about many things but, fundamentally, it is a space about how to use space to communicate."

and managed The Craft for Netscape/Chris Tacy's web-developer newsletter Off The Net. Heady days. Here's a home page from around that time. After further pondering the implications of emerging technologies, I penned a technical white paper positing the creation of a server-based, dynamic node interaction protocol for the web, superdoubleplus-precised in the August 1996 issue of WIRED - a simple way to take the fabric of the web, now essentially static, interactive; in a sense, 'turning it on': "...What's the most effective way to strengthen the Web? Strengthen hyperlinking. Create dynamic nodes." I concluded myfascination with cyberspace ontology by curating the Electronic Frontier Foundation's consiousness archive, A Space Without A Goal. ASWAG has been described as a "monumental exploration of the morality, and even the theology, of the internet." It's an old website, ported somewhat clunkily around the web through the intervening years, limping, but still fundamentally navigable:
@TheKingCenter Experiencing violence as ultimately ours to own and end? A perspective transcending mortality is essential, some cultures aver; others, that sense, means and effect positively converge in the divine light of Redemptive promise; the messianic sunburst, manifesting. Prov. 10:25
