e-church.com links up to this quick test at Beliefnet.com, checking your
knowledge of world poverty. I got four wrong. The fact I tended to over-estimate
the problems is as unsettling as under-estimating them.
What I know or don’t know is far less relevant than this question: what am I
doing about it?

Think and Link on World AIDS Day
In the news business we have the disease du jour or the disease of the week, or
the disease of the month. It’s an opportunity to educate people about medical
issues they or their family may or may not have to face.
Tomorrow is world AIDS day. A blog burst has been called.

Canada
Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s older brother, Maurice Chretien died today. They
were very close, so let’s knock off the moron comments in respect this weekend.

Microcontent News
Microcontent News has a report on The Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism.
Sounds boring, doesn’t it? But, it’s quite facinating if you are interested in
writing. Bottom line. Narrative and story telling works. I think Jesus knew that
better than anyone.

IE Browsers don’t like this blog
If you’ve come to Bene Diction Blogs On through an IE browser, please be
patient. (It is not one of my stronger virtues) I won’t pretend to understand
how these things work, I get that sharp ‘ice-cream’ pain over my left eye gazing
at sites like Bobby that picks up what is wrong in tech speak.
What I do know is that Rachel Cunliffe of cre8d-design has to go deep into the
mumbo-jumbo that makes this blog work and code something to make IE look right.

Did that make any sense?
Er, the log is sort of temporarily broke. If you stopped by, I’d be tickled to
see your John Hancock in the comments section so I can say a proper thank you!
Update: Log. Fixed. Cool.
Awww, leave a comment anyway. You want to, right?
