Interested to read Rowan Williams Presidential Address to General Synod - and I am grateful to be able to read it rather than just listen to it since I think it would have been hard work as a speech.
Hard work as it can be I (nearly) always find that the hard work understanding what RW has to say is worthwhile in the end.
By complete contrast I have been recommended personally and somewhat plagued by reminders that I have not yet widgetized my blog - everyone seems to think it a thoroughly good idea - but so far I haven't found an explanation as to what it actually does, or how it works or why I should really bother.
The Widgetbox site ( recommended by Typepad) which claims to make all clear, is a classic of the computer world's incestuous self-deception when it comes to explanation. I have read it very carefully and followed every link on the site in search of the answer to the question "why does it do what it claims it does and how?"
So I can readily forgive Rowan's occasional mountains of language which only lead to a steep ascent and fog when I come across explanations such as "Widgetbox widgets can respond to your blog posts and website content." . . . and . . .
Live Lent suggested today that pilgrims should offer someone an apple - the delivery man was a little surprised but departed The Vicarage graciously not only with his required signature but a good red apple.
