I’m finshed with school! I made my final presentation at Eastern Nazarene College tonight. My presentation was on the founding of Shinn Photography. It was supposed to take 20 minutes. Instead, I spoke for over an hour to an enthralled audience. I earned an ‘A’ on my practicum project and high praise from the professor. She said it was the best practicum project she had seen. It feels really great to be finished with school (for now!). Graduation will be on February 6th for both Lisa and me. Afterward, we’ll have a graduation party at our house. Shoot us an e-mail if you’ll be able to come!

Cheers,

Andrew

Blogs’ offer the world a fresh view – Asia Tsunami – www.smh.com.au

This article is yet another piece of evidence that we’re living in the nascent post-media world. I was at a television station’s studio Wednesday, and a producer I was talking with cited extreme frustration that bloggers had tsunami video for hours before the network news stations were able to get ahold of it. In the news world, hours are equal to eternity – several times over. Several hours equates to a few news cycles in this fast-moving world.

The other great change wrought by the bloggers is the longevity of this news story. I was talking with a mass communications expert yesterday who expressed great surprise at Gallup Polls indicating that Americans care much more about the Tsunami than they usually do about a disaster overseas, even a mass-scale disaster. I think mainstream media outlets are being forced to compete with bloggers for viewer/surfers. Matt Drudge and his movement have the mainstream press running scared and the little man’s voice is colluding with the big press’s voice to set the media agenda of necessity. What a world we live in. What a state/rate of change for that world.

MSNBC – New peace in Bethlehem during Christmas Peace is slowly breaking out in the Middle East. Who would have thought? During another turbulent time of occupation and oppression many years ago, a young man and his shamed, pregnant fiancee entered this city, where even relatives wouldn’t give them a place to stay. I’m sure they would have been grateful for the current 20% occupancy rate, but that night it was closer to 100%. There were no armed checkpoint then, but massive governmental shifts that inspired terror in the streets were still the norm. (Witness Herod’s killing of an entire 2 years crop of baby boys as proof.) Amidst the clamor of a census, a baby boy was born that night who would bring peace not only to individuals in his lifetime, but eventually to the whole world. But we don’t have to wait for the realization of his cosmic reign to know his peace. He offers it to us at this moment. Know his peace now and in the coming year. – Andrew
