NASCAR Folks on Twitter
TallGlassOfMilk has a great listing of NASCAR fans, bloggers, press, teams and tracks that are on Twitter.
I absolutely love this for a number of reasons. It’s tremendous fun to watch an event (like a race) and interact with folks in real time on the web. CNN and Facebook proved that during Obama’s inauguration last week. Plus, it’ s even more fun to be at a race in person and interacting with folks on Twitter (tried it last year during two races and it really added to the overall experience.
So, if you’re on Twitter and a NASCAR fan, head over and let’s get our little community going:

Forgiving Holocaust Deniers?
As a Christian, I believe in the redemptive quality of the creation (and humanity).
That being said, I dare not speak for Pope Benedict XVI, but I can’t imagine why this move was made:
Has the work of John Paul II and his outreach to Jews been made null with this move? John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter (and participant in the NPR story linked above) calls this move a “disaster” for Jewish-Christian relations.
The Anti-Defamation League’s Director Abraham Foxman sums it up well:
This decree sends a terrible message to Catholics around the world that there is room in the Church for those who would undermine the Church’s teachings and who would foster disdain and contempt for other religions, particularly Judaism. Given the centuries-long history of anti-Semitism in the Church, this is a most troubling setback.
We need you back, Prof. Goodman. This world is ready for the types of healing you described when you told us of your vision or real and honest Jewish-Christian dialogue. I wish you were there to temper my righteous indignation on such issues.

Welcome to the Holodeck
Are you real? What does that mean, anyway?
Our world may be a giant hologram – space – 15 January 2009 – New Scientist: “The idea that we live in a hologram probably sounds absurd, but it is a natural extension of our best understanding of black holes, and something with a pretty firm theoretical footing. It has also been surprisingly helpful for physicists wrestling with theories of how the universe works at its most fundamental level.”
Maybe Mr. Moriarty had it right all along…
