There have been no blog posts for a few days because I’ve been catching up on paper work that has been ignored for too long. Files and documents have accumulated unattended around my home office and on my computer drive since we moved into our new house last September. Now I need to [...]

Good news! Hamoud Bin Saleh, who was arrested in January after announcing on his blog that he had converted from Islam to Christianity, has been released from detention. Although he was freed in late March, the news was only reported today by Middle East Concern.
Hamoud was arrested on 13th January 2009 and detained [...]

Farsi Christian News Network is reporting that two Christians from Isfahar, Iran, involved in internet evangelism and blogging were taken into custody last month.  A man masquerading as a Christian pastor deceived them into thinking they were going to a secret house church meeting.

The web project I mentioned a few days ago has come to fruition. The Parish of Christ Church, Windsor, Nova Scotia, has gone online with a very spiffy website (if I say so myself).
Actually, it’s a WordPress blog masquerading as a website, but whatever.
Several sermons by our rector, The Rev. David Curry, and other [...]

There have been no new posts here yesterday and today because I have been at work on another web project. I hope to resume blogging in a day or two.

Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Karim Masimov last month launched his personal blog and ordered his ministers to do likewise. However, the PM seems to have some issues with a common blog feature— comments.

A week ago, I posted an item about a long-running child custody battle that ended up in an Ontario court.  Ten years after the parents split, Justice Faye McWatt ordered their three daughters taken from the mother and given into the sole custody of the father because of the mother’s relentless campaign to alienate them [...]
