It's been a while since my last post about my job, so here's an update on what's been happening.
We finished going through all the books last week and started on the manuscript books. For example, I got to leaf through St. Augustine's De civitate dei (City of God), ...
Following on the success of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), the same team has created Script Frenzy:
Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants attempt the creatively daring feat of writing an original, full-length screenplay—or stage play—in a single month. Spurred by a wild deadline and ...
It doesn't surprise me: Richard Dutcher is "no longer a practicing member of the church." In a Daily Herald article, Dutcher gives his "parting words" on Mormon movies:

A quickie today, since I've got to run to the store (my C.S. Lewis class is watching Shadowlands tonight and it's a potluck). It's still the North Pole outside. ~sigh~
1. Are there people who don't write on their hand? Just curious.
2. Apparently we humans can tell how tall ...
Just read an interview with Richard Dutcher in Christianity Today. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. Two thoughts:
First, I feel somewhat uncomfortable with it, and not in a good way. It's the "he's falling away" kind of flavor, not the "he's pushing the ...
The Church recently released a new booklet called "Let Virtue Garnish Thy Thoughts" (they have a PDF version available online), and there's a paragraph I really like:
