Urbana Conference

We live in a global world, where the world is so interconnected, but we have not yet found ways to relate in healthy ways. We have so many means for communicating (social media, all of that) and still there are so many conflicts around religion, around culture, around the social issues.

One week ago today, everyone was feeling really thankful. I know, because that is what everyone’s Facebook status said as a caption for pictures of turkey and mashed potatoes. #thankful

There are two different spectrums for birthday celebrations. On one side you have people that can’t wait to celebrate their birthday, so they celebrate for a week.

On the same shelf as books like From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya and The Heavenly Man are books about typeface, digital culture, games and design. Next to Church Planting Movements are books about media and mass collaboration. And I like it that way.
