• A List Apart: Articles: Understanding Web Design “We’ll have better web design when we stop asking it to be something it’s not, and start appreciating it for what it is. It’s not print, not video, not a poster, and that’s not a problem. Find out why cultural and business leaders misunderstand…
• Why Other Designers Are Not Web Designers “Print designers, graphic designers, that kid down the street, you are not web designers. Could you be one? Sure, if you wanted to learn. But you aren’t one now.”

• Haltadefinizione The Last Supper in “high definition.”

I’ve been meaning to post this sooner. Last Sunday in San Francisco, I met with Mark of ClickMoMukhaMo.com and Gerry (aka Ibalik) of Dekarabaw.com. Gerry was in town for a short vacation. It was nice to finally meet these online friends in person.

We rendezvoused at the entrance of the Metreon then proceeded to walk past the Powell Street cable car turnaround up to the recently renovated Union Square. We checked out the new obelisk in the middle which had an inscription about the Spanish-American war that played out in Philippine shores in 1898. It’s funny how we all busted out with our cameras as soon as we got there. We felt like tourists.

We all hadn’t had lunch so we looked for a place to eat. We ended up in a Japanese restaurant in Chinatown.

  

After eating, we headed back to South of Market. We got our cups of coffee and sat atop the upper level of Yerba Buena Gardens where we chatted a bit more. Seemed like we didn’t run out of things to talk about. But alas, the meeting had to come to an end. Mark had a train to catch back home, Gerry had a later commitment to attend, and I had to get back home to help the wife study for her finals.

While we’ve seen Blogs4God get resuscitated in the past few weeks, we may be witnessing the opposite happen to another Christian site. Christdot.org, a great online forum that deals with provocative issues facing the Church today, may be on the verge of its demise. In today’s post, one of its administrators contemplates the future of the site and mentions closing up shop as a possibility. He cites the busy lives of the administrators as the main reason that something has to change with Christdot, but he also says that his “Christian faith has essentially ceased to exist.”

If you’re concerned about this matter, please say a prayer for the site’s administrators and drop them a line of encouragement. Do share your thoughts on how to keep the forum alive if you come up with any good ideas.

As for Blogs4God, I’m glad to see it up and running again. It hit a long dryspell a few months back, but it’s back better than ever. Oh and Ganns of Superblessed fame, has been tapped as one of its moderators. Congrats, Ganns.
