Zooey and Joe ask “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”
In song, of course. Minutes after I posted my review of Joe’s book, I saw this video pop up on Twitter. I love it. Too cute.

Book Review: Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life
Between Heaven and Mirth: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life by James Martin, S.J. (HarperOne, 272 pages, 2011) How many times have you walked into a church and seen a smiling saint? How many times have you heard that Jesus used a little humor to get his point across? I bet the answer to those questions is “rarely” or maybe even “never.” I’ve long said that I think God has a sense of [...]
Random Thoughts: 12-18 June 2011
Wow, it’s been quite a while since I wrote up my weekly random thoughts. It’s not that I’ve been without any random thoughts…my schedule has just been packed and crazy! So, without further ado, here goes: (1) I’ve been silent about Weinergate, but I’m not without my opinion. In short, don’t tweet pictures of your body parts. Stay on the safe side. (2) J.K. Rowling launched Pottermore. We don’t know what it is, but I’m excited! Yes, I’m a Harry [...]
A Social Network Christmas
Yesterday I posted a very nice take on the Nativity in the digital age. Here’s another great take on the Nativity 2.0. This one is brought to you by the folks over at Igniter Media:
The Digital Story of the Nativity
Seriously, you need to watch the YouTube video below. What would a 21st century Nativity story look like? Well, everyone would certainly be a little more connected… How social media, web and mobile tell the story of the Nativity: Who knew a star (not the Hollywood kind) could have a Twitter account?!
TAGO Update #1
It’s been an exciting year so far for Through A Glass Onion (TAGO). I’ve moved from having a personal blog to sharing my thoughts and posts with the world. As my interests are varied, I have opened this blog to include a wide variety of my interests. Cementing the true direction of this blog has posed a challenge as I’ve struggled with creating a purely Catholic or literary blog versus a blog about everything. I’m not a one-track mind sort [...]

A Jesuit Olive?
Did the post title catch your interest? If it did, I should probably tell you up front that there is no such thing as a Jesuit olive. There is, however, an olive that knows plenty about Jesuit history, particularly that of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Check it out! This creative, fun, engaging, and educational video was written, produced, and narrated by Jason Kapell of the Fairfield University Media Center. I think it is fantastic!
Can Your Dog Merengue?
I don’t know if my dog can merengue. In fact, I don’t even have a dog so that would be difficult to find out in the first place. That being said, if I HAD a dog I would love for my dog to, at the very least, bounce to the rhythm of the beat. Could I ever expect it to dance a highly choreographed routine? A few days ago I would have said, “no way!” Today, I’m reminded that anything [...]
