Zine Update
Jan. 2nd, 2005 09:06 pmWe have one completed article, two drabbles, and two pieces of art. We might need one more small piece of art (about 8 cm wide by 6 cm high) - I expect to know for sure on Tuesday. I'll start pimping promoting the zine once everything's in next Friday - there'll be a Web site and a meme. :-) My goal is to sell 20 copies. We could possibly put additional material on the Web site, with an honour system for small Paypal donations.

People of faith continue to struggle with the event. The Archbishop of Canterbury has sensible things to say: that of course such an event tests peoples' faith, and should do so.
Not quite so sensible, but interesting reading, is a piece by Boris Johnson on having no-one to blame for the disaster. It's telling to watch him take the road of from "We're not responsible for global warming" to "We may as well just go extinct". Now that's a victim mentality. It's also hilarious how no-one has actually blamed the quake on global warming, but he can nonetheless "sense their silent frustration". (He's wrong about the Mesopotamian Flood, too - it wasn't our fault.)
