The Independent, por Bono

Bono was guest editor of The Independent this week. I’m going to try and find some of the copy from it. Proceeds of the paper go to AIDS projects in Africa.

The DMN Metro staff is now blogging. Thanks to Frontburner for the link. And thanks for the humor today with Frontburner readers and writers ripping the new blog.

Apart from the really scary photos of its Metro bloggers, the latest persuasive evidence that the DMN is completely losing it is the blog itself. Read any entry. Better yet, don’t. Tragic, I tell you. Not even that. Just lame.

I don’t know why anyone expected much of the DMN’s new blog. They don’t write anything interesting or original in print, so I’m not sure why it would be any different online.

Emmitt Smith turns 37 today and almost didnt make it, according to a reporter from Tambabayonline.com:

Emmitt Smith, who turns 37 today, almost never had a chance to become the NFL’s leading rusher … because I nearly killed him one day back in 1988 in Gainesville, Fla.
The following year, I was driving through campus trying to race back to my job at the student newspaper. Classes ended hours earlier and the streets were empty, so I took my eyes off the road to fiddle with the radio. Suddenly, I looked up and noticed the entire Florida Gator football team running across the street from the stadium to the practice field. I slammed on the brakes and skidded to a stop. The closest player was inches in front of me. He reached out, puts his hands on the hood of my Mustang and glared at me.
Yup, it was Emmitt.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Taylor was released on $5,000 bond today and ordered to take a drug test every other week.
He was released and expected to return to Austin to take a final.
Best quote of the story:

“He’s not playing hide the ball,” Taylor’s attorney Buck Harris said. “If he’s carrying five pounds of marijuana, he’s either the stupidest man alive or he thinks he’s bulletproof. If you have five pounds, you’re sure not going to call 911 and give them two permissions to search for vehicle. A man that does that doesn’t know what’s in there.”

It will be interesting to see what the Belton Journal prints about it.

So I’m curious, I’ve been getting a hit from someone(s) at First National Bank of Omaha in Nebraska. Considering that it’s Nebraska, I would assume it’s a relative but my dad and I don’t know who it would be. So, whoever you are feel free to drop me a line and let me know how you found my blog.
Thanks.
And that’s an open invitation to everyone. Drop me an email or a comment and let me know how you came across this Stranger in a Strange Land – and why you keep coming back.

Found a new group on FlickR. It’s all about church marketing and sharing ideas for church marketing.
Check it out. There’s some good work here and ideas if you’re interested. BTW, this was a PowerPoint slide I made for an event at Immanuel Baptist Church in Temple.
