Religion in IT? Why not?

Oh, yes, you heard me right... just discovered latest from the press -- buddhist geeks. if you are not one of the regular geeks you need to read this:

"The longer our lives, the more we’ll have a chance to see that there’s no self living them.” - James Hughes. What is Transhumanism and how is it related to Buddhist practice? Will technology enable us to radically extend our lifespans, help us control our thoughts and emotions, and bring about the potential to upload our consciousness into virtual reality spaces? And if so, what are the deeper implications for our contemplative traditions. Will these advances actually support the deepening of wisdom? According to professor James Hughes, a Buddhist practitioner and leading voice in the Transhumanist movement, these advances will enable us to deconstruct the notion and experience we have of an “authentic self” and will support the development of happiness, and the cessation of suffering."

Go to webmonkey.com for some tutorials

Yes, WebMonkey.com is still a great source for tutorials on building web pages, blogs, visual design , etc.

It has also been enhanced with technology diggs and reviews. Honestly it has been about 5 years since i last visited the site.

Today, while updating my Google Reader I found an interesting article on the webmonkey discussing google talk a chat application that is now available on iPhone.

Now i wish that i could import my AIM contacts into it, just like I can do via Gmail. but no, i guess AT&T does not want to loose its SMS profits. bummer
