Happy Easter everyone! I would do an Easter-themed roundup, but it seems not too many in Outer Blogness have blogged about it. I figure that either (like me!) they don’t have that much to say about Easter, or they’re so busy painting eggs that they don’t have time to blog. But, just so that the ...
You can learn a lot of interesting things from reading the Bloggernacle. For example, I learned that this very weekend is the weekend of the LDS semi-annual “General Conference”. So far the Bloggernacle’s coverage of this event has been pretty positive, which can mean one of three things: (1) the ‘nacclers are fishing to get ...
Outer Blogness is popping up all over!! By that I mean that people are actually starting to put the lovely list script in their sidebars! The first one (from way back) was the popular atheist group blog Unscrewing the Incrutable, but more recently others have done the same: Jesus’ General, Soul Threads, My Secret Garden, ...
Folks, sorry to be a day late on this! I have had an insanely stressful week which kind of bled over into the weekend, and I was barely able to get the Skeptical Parent Crossing carnival done on time. But there have been some interesting items in Outer Blogness this past week, and I don’t ...
Everybody‘s talking about the big news items this week: Secularism is rising dramatically in the U.S., and HBO is showing the Mormon temple ceremony! Let’s have a look: Views: 1801 ...
So, instead of cleaning my apartment yesterday as planned, I spent the morning going through the Outer Blogness list, updating and correcting it. There are still a few bugs to work out (explained here), but now the blogroll here and the Outer Blogness list have been synchronized, and they contain all of the exmo/post-mo/DAMU blogs ...
Pixelfish reports a tragicle: the death of Paul Harvey. She and her readers reminisce about listening to “The Rest of the Story” — I know that for me it brings back plenty of memories of the long drive to seminary, at 5 a.m., in the still-freezing car when the weather was twenty below. Good times! ...
General J. C. Christian’s hilarious book review just got the coveted link from Pharyngula this week — and totally earned it!! Check it out, and don’t forget to vote! In other publishing award news, my husband’s latest book has been shortlisted for a prestigious award, the Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year. ...
The good folks of Outer Blogness seem to be having some mixed feelings about facebook lately. But nobody seems to be opting out completely. Like cell-phones, facebook eventually gets adopted by everybody… In the interfaith relations department, Runtu has resolved to play nice with the faithful, and not paint them all with the same negative ...
This week Magic Cicero asks: What Does It Mean to Recover from Mormonism? And he comes to the same conclusion as so many of us here on Main Street Plaza: But there’s a lot of who I am that can’t be disconnected from that Mormon past. For better or worse, Mormonism is part of me. ...
This week in Outer Blogness I’ve seen a number of images and other things that made me laugh or smile: Jean offers a picture of an alternate reality in which the Angel Moroni arrives via snowboard. Tom posts an unvarnished portrait of a 55-year old man getting to know his current self. El Guapo wonders ...
The big news — that you’ve probably all seen by now — is that two of our good friends from Outer Blogness have found love and happiness together! Congratulations Equality and Sister Mary Lisa!!! On that note, there’s been a bunch of other reports of homey family news. Christy toasts her best friend’s wedding, Allison ...
It seems like it’s been days since we talked about Proposition 8 here at MSP. Yet there’s been some new discussions of it all over Outer Blogness this past week, and I’m here to gather them up for you! First, Jonathan Blake posts this interesting video which discusses whether the LDS church itself did indeed ...
First, an announcement about the tech problems in Outer Blogness: As you may know, I’ve been maintaining a list of all exmo/post-mo blogs I can find (whether they have any mo-related content or not), and keeping them in a convenient, regularly updated list. A few months ago, the part of the service that allows me ...
Hi ladies and germs. Last night I just got back from a lovely vacation visiting family and friends in Paris and Maastricht. Since I had only a few minutes of Internet here and there the whole time, naturally the Outer Blogness folder of my personal reader was overflowing with several hundred posts upon my return, ...
