"Daphne, we don't attend the church anymore, but if you visit the site at http://www.yorkminsterpark.com..., it should list upcoming events. There's also a contact link there so you can reach someone at the church. Enjoy your visit!" - James McNally

Re: We Salute You

"This blog is actually part of a much larger project called the Academy of the Recent Past (http://www.academyoftherecentp...) who collect material and put out books of the stuff. The other blogs look pretty funny as well (stuff about 80s music, summer camp, bar mitzvahs, etc.). I'm still on the fence regarding "user-generated content" though. How do other people feel about this sort of thing? A company gathering all this material together through the internet and then publishing it for a profit? I don't know what the terms are for this specific company. Maybe they do pay their contributors. But this new business model seems to be popping up everywhere, powered by the incredibly easy group-forming abilities of the internet (a phrase I have borrowed from Clay Shirky's latest book, Here Comes Everybody). Is it legal? Sure. Is it ethical? Well, probably. But there still seems something slightly skeevy about it." - James McNally

Re: Upcoming Races

"Hey James, great to see you blogging your runs. I did it for a few years, too, and still blog my races. I'm like you in that without a goal (and a fixed date), I find it hard to motivate myself. I also love the gadgets and just got a Garmin Forerunner 405. I'm still only running once or twice a week these days, so maybe it will motivate me to get out more or to run further or something. Good luck with the HbC race!" - James McNally

"I'm finding that in my recent comments widget, instead of the post titles showing up, it's the entire URL, which is extending across the page and overlapping the blog entries. Yikes! I'm using the garden variety widget, so why aren't post titles showing up as in the example? Help! Examples in the left column at http://www.consolationchamps.c..." - James McNally

"Thanks for the comments, Neil and Joseph. I'm glad you're consoling me about my own awkwardness, but I was hoping someone would jump in and engage with the main point of the entry, which is that online interaction is having an effect on how we treat social interaction in general. Any opinions?" - James McNally

"Interesting perspective on the interview process, Mike. I loved Mr. Bunny! I guess I'm just wanting to feel less like a drone these days, and want to challenge the status quo a bit. But I promise not to bring a large stuffed bunny to any of my appointments." - James McNally

"Matt, no they don't seem to be widely available here in Canada yet. If I do get one, I'll be sure to post about my experiences here on the blog. Bear in mind that the Mac support is scheduled for November, so if things don't work out now, they will in the near future." - James McNally

"If you haven't read the book, go ahead and click on the title, which links to Amazon. It's ridiculously cheap right now, like $6 or something. I do get a tiny commission if you buy, but I don't think you'll find it any cheaper anywhere else at the moment." - James McNally

"Well, Paul, I'm still waiting for Disqus in general, and my blog comment threads in particular, to reach "critical mass." it's hard to say whether this will be useful unless it's adopted by everyone who's blog I want to comment on regularly. But I'm happy to experiment with it a bit. Since I'm not affiliated with Disqus in any way, perhaps Daniel Ha could jump in and answer your questions? I'm sure you could follow the link from his comment here and post on his own site or something like that." - James McNally
