Testing out the video feature on the iOS WordPress app. Shot the video straight on my phone and uploaded it here – right away – all from my iPhone 4.
It saves as an MOV file and uses HTML 5 (or HTML 4) to run on your site. So if you can’t view the video, be sure and update your browser.
My workspace is getting a little cluttered… May need to start thinking a little more seriously about a new desk with drawers.
(Posted with the iPhone WordPress app version 2.8 – with the Quick Photo feature. As a note, I had to come back and resize the photo since it posted the largest version originally.)
I’ve become to appreciate the voice and posture of Dr Cornel West more and more in recent years.
He recently shared his thoughts on the assassination of Osama bin Laden with his co-host Tavis Smiley on their radio program.
Powerful words that challenge our thoughts of love, justice and retribution.
“I am just not convinced that through killing and more murder that you can stop the killing and more murder.”

THE VIOLENCE we preach is not
the violence of the sword,
the violence of hatred.
It is the violence of love,
of brotherhood,
the violence that wills to beat weapons
into sickles for work.

A friend sent me a copy of Oscar Romero’s The Violence of Love for my new Kindle (thanks Laurie!!) — and I found another site online that just happens to have it for FREE download as well for Kindle, Nook and PDF.
From the same site:
During his three years as archbishop of San Salvador, Óscar Romero became known as a fearless defender of the poor and suffering. His work on behalf of the oppressed earned him the admiration and love of the peasants he served, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, honorary degrees from abroad – and finally, an assassin’s bullet on account of his outspokenness.
Romero was martyred for his insistence that following Christ cannot be relegated to the spiritual realm. He did not die in vain – the people of Central America say his spirit lives on in them. As their struggle for justice and dignity intensifies, his words take on renewed urgency.
Needless to say I’m looking forward to reading it…
So, what does this kind of violent love look like to you?
Yes, I missed a few days. So here’s the final catch-up post.
day 27 – a song that you wish you could play
day 28 – a song that makes you feel guilty
day 29 – a song from your childhood
day 30 – your favorite song at this time last year
