On Archive.org. Disregard its listing as Orthodox, this is the Hicksite version. The “Book of Discipline” is more commonly known as “Faith and Practice” these days and is the most official document of Friends beliefs for the region & group it serves. I love the handwritten note on the inside back cover, which is a copied passage on Friends from Rufus Jones. Via Chris Pifer on a Facebook thread.

Archive.org has a lot of Quaker material, some originally scanned by Google, so it should be there too.

A new website opposed to Diocesan church-and-school closures. From their description:

A Group dedicated to ensuring that quality Catholic school education is available to Cape May County families, and endeavoring to save Wildwood Catholic and its traditions for the children.

They have two Facebook groups: SaveWildwoodCatholic and Keep Wildwood Catholic High School Alive. Here’s some pictures from a recent rally:

My friend Tanya recently evaluated her own blog, and started anew with purpose not long after. She also wrote on Facebook that she missed my blogging, something someone else said a few weeks ago. So I’m going to try again. To blog more. Note the comparative “more”…not a definitive “weekly” or “daily”. Just more.

In Quakerism, the one voice we need to hear and the one to whom we want to be obedient is that of the Holy Spirit. Our problem, and what makes us look like a democracy, is that we don‟t know who…

Some good tips. I more-or-less follow all these guidelines, though not always in the calculated way they suggest.

With over 300 million active users worldwide, and nearly 100 million in the US alone, Facebook can be a good platform for those wanting to grow their consulting business. While there are other social platforms for meeting new contacts or building your professional reputation, like LinkedIn or Twitter, Facebook offers a variety of ways for consultants to authentically market themselves to target contacts and customers.

Excerpt: “This means significant changes are happening across the Facebook ecosystem that marketers and brands need to be aware of and account for in their products and strategies.”

A sixteen-year-old perspective on Techcrunch:

If you look at technologies trending with teens right now, it’s Apple devices (iPhone, iPod), smart phones (Blackberry, Palm), and then social networks (Facebook and MySpace). At least that’s what I see from hanging out with 1,500 other teenagers in high school every day (I am 16 years old). But why not Twitter? Well, because Twitter is a different type of social network than Facebook. Facebook is about connecting people, and sharing information with each other. The way my friends and I see it, Facebook is a closed network. It’s a network of people and friends that you trust to be connected to, and to share information like your email address, AIM screen name, and phone number. You know who’s getting your status messages, because you either approved or added each person to your network.

Martin’s comment: From my observation, this seems to be true with blogs too and for a lot of folks in their early 20s.
