Back from Blogger Con in Cambridge. The session content was mainly pertinent to my day job with the exception of a Sunday session titled Weblogs and their Spiritual Context by AKM Adam, a professor at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and well-known in the blogosphere for his AKMA’s Random Thoughts blog. Heath Row has a transcript of the session up on his site, including my questions/comments about the degree to which he reveals his own struggles as a priest in his blog.
I can see why Joey deVilla, Accordion Guy (also an attendee) called AKMA the Ferris Bueller of the Blogosphere. The guy’s a hoot.
AKMA brought his son, Si, with him to haul his luggage since he just had surgery. (Si has a blog, too, SiBlog.) I got to chat with them on several occasions, including at Logan airport where we had a great little discussion about false prayer (epitomized by Red Sox slugger Trot Nixon who gave credit to God for his game-winning homerun on Saturday.)
