Friends on the east coast are keeping an eye on Hurricane Earl, which is currently a category 4.
So are the astronauts on the space station. Commander Douglas H Wheelock tweeted this photo of Earl yesterday.

This technology personalizes this song for you.
Arcade Fire’s “We Used To Wait” video uses Google maps and satellite images to personalize the HTML5 video’s imagery, adding an extra tinge to the song’s bittersweet nostalgia. But there are plenty of other surprises (and other browser windows), that makes it less of a video and more of a interaction between you and your childhood. Grab your old childhood address and visit http://www.thewildernessdowntown.net/ to play it (and play with it). Google Chrome works best. The video was directed by Chris Milk.

Why does Faytene Kryskow feel the need to be connected in some way, with 25 different website names?
Bene D made a great point in commenting on my last post.
WhoIs reports that an e-mail evidently owned by Faytene “is a contact on the whois record of 25 domains.”
Isn’t two or three sites plenty for anything that she might want to do?
When she says, however, that she needs the old Campus Ministries International site as a “revival arm”, I have to wonder why she needs so many online boxes to put her activities in? Espcially when she already has websites…
The new CMI, she said at the Canada Awake meeting, can give you receipts. Did she not already have a charity of her own that could do this after all this time?
And I have to add that this raises the question whether she wants to have some online identities that don’t scream “Faytene Kryskow” with all, good and bad, that might be associated with her image in the public’s mind.
Hope I am wrong, and I am not saying that is what she plans, but being associated with 25 different website names makes that sort of thing possible.

As Bene D has pointed out in the past, Faytene Kryskow seems to like to have multiple identities for the work that she does.
I think I have seen one more, tipped off by Faytene herself.
At the recent Canada Awake conference in Toronto, according to this video of the first speaker, you can hear Faytene’s pastor Bill Prankard prepare to take an offering. Who should cheques be made out to, he asks at 33.51.
Faytene then says:
“This conference is being administered by CMI, which is the revival arm, the Holy Ghost revival arm, of everything we’re going to be doing in Canada. Got a few different arms…”
A quick Google search reveals that, according to WhoIs, someone named Faytene Kryskow owns the site and the domain name for a Campus Ministries International. (Which abbreviates to CMI)
If you look at campusministriesinternational. com, under the Who we are page, it currently reads, as I write, like this:
“For almost 3 decades CMI has been mentoring emerging leaders in the reality of a living and loving God. On campuses, in churches and through seminars, missions trips and conferences all across Canada ambassators of the reality of Jesus Christ have been in action through CMI’s workers. In past years CMI has established centres in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia and hosted mission trips in various third world nations. On these trips young leaders have had the joy of seeing the love of God in action in compassionate and tangible ways. He is living, loving and He is alive.
CMI is currently in a transitional stage and looking forward with great anticipation to a new season of effective work in Canada under new leadership. Stay tuned for new developments as they unfold.”
The website also, perhaps notes a new motto for “CMI”, which may “Mentoring A Generation In The Reality Of A Living and Loving God. …” which lends itself to an explicitly charsimatic theology, where the old “what we do” note still on the …com site seems conservative and evangelical.
Needless to say the current campusministriesindustries.com pages make no mention of Faytene Kryskow, or her dominionist flourishes to her theology. So an old donor could return after a few years to the site, as it is now, and accidentally give to something that is more theocratic-minded than the old CMI was.
Let’s hope the website is updated soon, with Faytene’s views front and center.
Leaving the site as it is, if Faytene indeed has staged a coup d’etat and taken over the remnants of the old and different Campus Ministries International, would be naughty. Let’s hope she is not tempted.
Is it going to be 2007 all over again? You can find out what I’m referring to here and here.
