The tweet debate

December 18th, 2007 • 2 comments blog

As you can see, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of Twitter lately, I don’t really know why. I love Twitter Tools as it’s the easiest segue between Twitter and here, keeping information concurrently up-to-date however, it puts a quandary before me: tweets are filling up my blog with short content, is Twitter-to-blog worth it? I liked the original integration for use when I was out on the town and wanted to write something short, I could just Twitter it and Bam! it’d be here. Well, now it’s here and so are the rest of my tweets, looking kind of like a one-sided conversation.

I think I’ll push my tweets to a sidebar widget and see how that goes.

Go to Jerusalem, catch psychosis

December 18th, 2007 • beliefs

A minority of strongly religious people catch Jerusalem Syndrome on visits to the Holy Land. Can’t say I’m really surprised. It goes right along with speaking in tongues, the healing touch, and perceived divinity and superiority that staunchly religious folk like to believe in.

One tourist saw the Western Wall open up and reveal the Messiah to him — but which one was it? — and this is perceived as some kind of miracle. What if he just drank some bad water or ate some bad shawarma and was suffering from heat stroke? Then he had no memory of becoming violent to those around him. Not remembering such an awesome and faith-affirming vision must be truly heartbreaking to these adults. Oh wait, they don’t know it happened, nevermind. What a buzz kill.

Tough break.
