      Thanks for sharing the tip! (I somehow missed that one; I also follow Lifehacker.)

      We don't really do any impulse-buying, though, but it's a handy trick to keep in mind should we find ourselves tempted in the future. :-)

      I am certain....very certain....that no rule designed to prevent impulse spending was ever meant to apply to books!! Paperbacks, cheap or otherwise, could never be considered an impulse buy. Unless of course, they have "Harlequin" stamped on the cover. My husband's grandmother used to read those wretched things and then pass them on to me because she knew I was such a big reader. Shudder!

      I am an obsessive planner. I raaaarely make impulse buys.

      I research for days before buying something big.

      I recently splurged bigtime and bought a $600 camera. BUT - I researched it for a long time, talked to someone who owned one, AND, God willing, within the next year or so we'll be traveling to the Holy Land (I've already set up a vacation account), so I really needed a good camera.

      Oh, plus, I have the cutest kid in the world.

  7. What is Twitter and why we should want to know

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM - Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 7:53 pm As familiar as I am with some dimensions of blogging, I am rather more unfamiliar with other personal networking technologies. For example, what is TWITTER, anyway? I got interested on knowing about this whole twitter thing because of the following CNN story: Student 'Twitters' his way out of Eg...

    1. Mary: But then again, you may just want to use Twitter to say, "Someone just gave me a bottle of Ridge 2003 California Montebello as a gift!

      Oh… yes! I will certainly let people know about that!

      Comment by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf - 27 April 2008 @ 8:18 pm

    2. >>>Christopher Humphries: It's a valuable resource. It is low effort social networking, yet highly flexible for adding content.

      Yes, everything that Christopher said! At first, I was extremely skeptical of Twitter-looked like a lot of boring chatter. And who would possibly be interested in anything I had to "tweet" about, anyway?

      Then after a friend strong-armed me into giving it a try (I'm on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/franciscat ), I became hooked. I now use Twitter more than site feeds to see what's new, and it's given me the opportunity to meet and get to know bunches of wonderful folks I otherwise wouldn't have. (Christopher being one of 'em! :::waves hello:::) And for folks I already knew, it enabled me to get to know them even better.

      For some really splendid explanations of just what in heck Twitter is all about and why it's worth using, see the following:

      Common Craft: Twitter in Plain English

      Wired magazine: Clive Thompson on How Twitter Creates a Social Sixth Sense

      Comment by Lisa, sfo - 27 April 2008 @ 11:24 pm

    3. Twitter is even usual for a housebound person such as myself. It keeps me in contact with my many online friends, it keeps me up on events (such as live uStream shows), and even allows me to request prayers anonymously (http://twitter.com/prayers). It has proved quite a blessing.

      Comment by Mike Kuypers - 27 April 2008 @ 11:36 pm

    4. I've been using Twitter for about a year now even though I resisted at first. First, to clear up one misconception: You don't need a cell phone. While it works great with one, many people use one of the many Twitter computer programs.

      Second, Twitter is not like CB radio and you don't have to put up with filthy language because you only read the tweets of people you specifically follow. If you don't like what they're saying, then unfollow.

      Third, you don't need a widget to put your tweets on your blog. It's a simple bit of javascript, not unlike the Amazon search box.

      Twitter is what you make of it. It doesn't have to be just "I'm eating a cheese sandwich." You can make it as substantive as 140 characters will allow (tweets can only be up to 140 characters.) It does encourage brevity, which we know is the soul of wit.

      You can use it as a headline service like CNN does. You can use it to post links to interesting stories you come across that don't deserve a full blog post. You can post live comments from events as you experience them (like I do when I tweet among friends as we watch sporting events together, separated by many miles).

      You can even follow the Pope on his journey to the US, if someone decides to post headlines during the trip, a la "Pope Benedict XVI".

    5. Oh! I forgot to mention another helpful article about Twitter:

      Thanks for this post. Many of my blog acquaintances and I have been wondering what will happen here. Your thoughts (as always) are insightful and give me hope.

      Found your blog via Adrienne, and was so happy - what a treat!

      My girls and I met you in Hanceville kneeling at vespers in August of 2006, my faithful but under-catechised husband of 15 years delcares that you and your book (which I had you autograph for him) have taught him more than CCD ever did, and so I just wanted to say HI and THANK YOU!!! I've linked to you on my blog.

      God continue to bless you and your precious vocation.

      Congratulations Father Stephanos. In a time when society is trying to stamp out belief in anything more substantial than the newsest cell phone, or the newset "this or that", your dedication to God and His Church through the contemplative life is a shining light in a fractured world.

      May God continue to bless you and your community.

      Excellent article and it mirrors my reflections on vocations in the internet age.

      Communities need to have an "electronic extern".

      While a community website is good, I feel strongly that a community blog along with that website is very important. It can give those who are exploring religious life a little more to go on.

      While on the one hand it removes the element of "mystery" surrounding community life, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

      I'll have to make a separate post on this article later, but have linked to it for now.

      I tend to look at situations like this and be grateful for Purgatory. As wretched as these acts are, I do not want this woman in Hell, nor do I want her to be able to avoid confronting the evil of what she's done.

      The level of arrogance is absolutely astounding, and I think this sort of thing is exactly what happens when you have man as idol instead of icon. She is "god" and therefore her "truth" is supreme and uncontested. To be a mystic demands the humility to recognize oneself as the messenger, not the message. The only truth this art contains is that one young woman would create and destroy her own children to have the most edgy exhibit in the art department this year.

      Also, can I just ask where on earth her faculty advisor was on this one? This seems more like Stanford or Berkeley lunacy than Yale.

      Aww, geez, Rob, I totally feel your pain. I've been in a few job situations with craptastical bosses, too, and it makes life utterly miserable. (Hey, you're spending at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week of your life at work, so it by default has a mighty big impact on your well-being.)

      Prayers for you that you'll soon find new, better employment!

      <p>Rob,</p>

      <p>yes, get out there and find a new job… in the mean time</p>

      <p>a) pray for your boss and others that have to work for/with him. I've found that it helps me when I pray for troublesome people. I learned this when I had a particularly awful boss many years back.</p>

      <p>b) Remember, that when you have work to do, that it is not the boss that you ultimately work for. Do your job in a way that you can take pride in from your own perspective. When it all comes down to the end, the only important person is God and HE knows what you do and how hard you work at whatever it is.</p>

      <p>I'll keep you in my prayers … also, sounds like you could use a good dose of Belief in you as God made you to be … check out www.beliefbusters.com you will not regret that. It's uplifting and helps you align yourself with the Love that God has put in your soul.</p>
