AbbeNormal - Abbe NormalJohn Abbe's personal wiki-weblog, often writing on Lanka, wikis, MacOS, nonviolence, and whatever else i feel likeLast Day- December 31, 2003 Today is the last day for AbbeNormal as a WebLog.

Even better, he's gotten their agreement to copy the information to a WikiWiki, and the NationalCoalitionForDialogueAndDeliberation's agreement to have this be part of their soon-to-be wiki. I'm getting all this going, and i want a real programmer (i.e., not me) in the project, and there's even some $$ for it.

I started using it as a personal wiki, realized that it probably wouldn't work well that way, and went off hunting WikiWeblogs for a personal wiki,...http://www.ourpla.net/cgi-bin/pikie.cgi?_AbbeNormal/001072064807.409986-RisingFromTheAshes Space Opera Gospels- December 21, 2003 Well, it's just obviously religion month here at AbbeNormal, so let's not resist it. Bryant has offered the Gospels as this week's MondayMashup. Some interesting responses, but all pretty straight fantasy. How about a space opera version Traveller or GURPS Space, whatever... The GameMaster starts with rumors of messiah-types with weird similarities showing up among many (eventually all) species. The different messiahs' stories could reflect the differences among the gospels (check out the...http://www.ourpla.net/cgi-bin/pikie.cgi?_AbbeNormal/001071874866.9400131-SpaceOperaGospels Loki On God And Churches- December 20, 2003 The first weblogger i met in person in SriLanka was loki. Last month, she made a rare post on religion, and it's a good example of the kind of writing i go back for: Out of the million voices in my head one used to be God. Somewhere along the way he went missing or maybe I lost him. I grew up without him it seemed, then found herhimitwhatever over time (still working at it).http://www.ourpla.net/cgi-bin/pikie.cgi?_AbbeNormal/001071875112.7148269-LokiOnGodAndChurc...
