Is Your Parish Serving Your Family Online?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, September 26, 2011
This weekend, I will be presenting a few sessions at the wonderful Catholic New Media Conference hosted by SQPN.com - the Star Quest Production Network founded by Fr. Roderick Vonhögen. I know that some of our readers (including my buddies Danielle and Rachel) have enjoyed past CNMCs. It’s a time for fellowship with other geeks and communicators, for stimulating discussions about the Church’s use... READ MORE
Beware The Giant Hand Of Condescension

Not to ignite another heated internet discussion about how heated internet discussions can get, but…
this is too amusing not to share.

Have You Seen the New Inside Catholic?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Cool! Did you see that Inside Catholic got a makeover (and it’s ongoing)?

Does the Internet Affect Your Prayer Life?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Wednesday, June 09, 2010
First of all, can I just say how happy I am to see Fr. James Martin writing for the Huffington Post? His words are always a breath of fresh air to this mom who finds most other entries there discouraging, if not disturbing, to Catholic thinkers.
His latest, Does E-Mail Make It Harder to Pray? How the Digital Age Is Changing Spiritual Life, is no exception.
There’s been a lot of online talk about the... READ MORE
That Useless Old Internet
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
I was amused recently to read a 1995 Newsweek column by Clifford Stoll, in which he predicts the demise of that useless old internet thing.

Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, January 26, 2010
I had the opportunity to speak at a women’s breakfast this past Saturday and imagine my delight when more than a few of the attendees introduced themselves as readers of this blog. I felt like I was seeing family!
The internet can certainly be a funny dynamic—you can make real connections with people from all over the world, people you would never get the chance to meet otherwise. But it can sometimes... READ MORE
A Word Game Change of Heart
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Monday, January 18, 2010
I never thought I’d say this, but I may yet learn to love Scrabble.
It usually surprises people when I tell them I’m not a Scrabble fan, but I can’t help it. Generally I like word games - Boggle and I have a happy relationship of many years standing, and when I was in college I whiled away many blissful hours playing Text Twist online - but I’ve never enjoyed Scrabble.
I suspect it’s because a) I... READ MORE
