imagine...{Gods's Blogs} Insights from his site Review



How would you feel if you thought God was writing a personal note to you …on his website…and it was about some of the stuff that was making you wonder if he really existed at all. This book does make you feel….while it makes you think. Maybe God isn’t the person we thought He was. Maybe his thoughts aren’t what we have been taught.

God’s Blogs has some insightful new and fresh thoughts that help us to see more of God’s character, his love, and his grace as he reflects on his own thoughts about marriage, death, laughter, dads, and questions like "Why are we here", and what about Tsunamis and poverty?" A fascinating read that will make you laugh and cry and search your own thoughts about who He is.

About the Authors:

Robert Scoble helps run Microsoft’s Channel 9 Web site. He began his blog in 2000 and now has more than 3.5 million readers every year. Scoble’s blog has earned acclaim in Fortune magazine, Fast Company, and The Economist.

Shel Israel played a key strategic role in introducing some of technology’s most successful products, including PowerPoint, FileMaker, and Sun Microsystems workstations.He’s been an expert on innovation for more than twenty years.

An Excerpt from Naked Conversations:

Bloggings's Six Pillars: There are six key differences between blogging and any other communications channel. You can find any of them elsewhere. These are the Six Pillars of Blogging:

1.Publishable.Anyone can publish a blog.You can do it cheaply and post often. Each posting is instantly available worldwide.

2.Findable. Through search engines, people will find blogs by subject, by author, or both. The more you post, the more findable you become.

3.Social. The blogosphere is one big conversation. Interesting topical conversations move from site to site, linking to each other. Through blogs, people with shared interests build relationships unrestricted by geographic borders.

4.Viral. Information often spreads faster through blogs than via a newsservice. No form of viral marketing matches the speed and efficiency of a blog.

5.Syndicatable. By clicking on an icon, you can get free "home delivery" of RSS- enabled blogs into your e-mail software. RSS lets you know when a blog you subscribe to is updated, saving you search time. This process is considerably more efficient than the last- generation method of visiting one page of one web site at a time looking for changes.

6.Linkable. Because each blog can link to all others, every blogger has access to the tens of millions of people who visit the blogosphere every day.

You can find each of these elements elsewhere. None is, in itself, all that remarkable. But in final assembly, they are the benefits of the most powerful two-way Internet communications tool so far developed.

Publishing a Blog with Blogger


From the creator of the number one business blog comes a powerful exploration of how, and why, businesses had better be blogging: Naked Conversations.

According to experts Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, blogs offer businesses something that has long been lacking in their communication with customers -- meaningful dialogue. Devoid of corporate-speak and empty promises, business blogs can humanize communication, bringing companies and their constituencies together in a way that improves both image and bottom line.

The authors use more than 50 case histories to explain why blogging is an efficient and credible method of business communication. You'll find yourself excited about the possibilities blogs present after reading just a few pages. Discover how:

  • Prominent business leaders, including Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks, Bob Lutz from General Motors, and Jonathan Schwartz of Sun Microsystems, are beginning to use blogs to connect with their customers in new ways.
  • Blogging has changed the rules of communication and competition.
  • You can launch an effective blogging strategy and the reasons why you should.
Featuring a foreword by Tom Peters, this is a resource you and your business can't do without.

The Campaign for the Rational Mind

The Campaign for the Rational Mind Review



The Campaign for the Rational Mind, with forewords by the raconteur, polemicist and social commentator Noah Pawlowski and local business leader James McNulty, is the riveting tale of Sean Bellamy McNulty’s run for mayor of Central Saanich in 2008. This election was one of the most critical in the history of Central Saanich, with millions of dollars in potential projects hanging in the balance. Over the course of the book, which was written over the 2 years during the campaign, Sean takes on abusive staff members, entrenched corrupt local politicians and a vocal majority that had been holding the balance of power behind the scenes in Central Saanich denying opportunity for betterment within the community. His campaign to liberate Central Saanich wins him many admirers, as well as enemies who seek to discredit and destroy him at every opportunity.

Although ultimately unsuccessful in the battle to win the mayoral nomination, Sean is successful in winning the war of ideas. The projects he championed have since been approved and a new council put Central Saanich back on a path to prosperity.

A Dog's Blog; Year One-The Mooks

A Dog's Blog; Year One-The Mooks Review



"Just read the whole shebang...Loved it. Can't wait to read the next installments. Touching and funny."

Estelle Rosen (CKUT Radio, Montreal)

Leo is like no other dog you've ever met. He'll be the first to tell you he ain't no Marley or Lassie or any other wondrous dog which inhabits literature and films. He's a vulgar, sexist, homophobic, right-wing Jack Russell terrier, saved from the pound by two half-witted gay men who had no idea what they were getting themselves in for. So Leo started blogging (if only to work out his frustration). His blog is an hilarious first-person account of life with The Mooks (as he calls them)—adjusting to them, the world-order of Barack Obama, the dogs and cats in his new neighbourhood and any damn thing that pops into his mind. To know Leo is to fear him; those who get on his bad side are slain by his quick wit and vile language.

The blog is edited by Gaƫtan Charlebois, an award-winning Canadian playwright whose works have been performed across the country in three languages as well as in Great Britain and the United States. He is also the creator of canadiantheatre.com, one of the most comprehensive resources on Canadian Theatre available. For the last two decades he has worked as a theatre critic and pop-culture commentator for The Montreal Mirror, Hour and the daily The Gazette.
