I don’t know if folks have been tracking this story at all, but how in the world can you ban an “AntiChrist” coming into your country? Regardless, it’s newsworthy and I think it’s worth us covering in some way or another.
Here’s a quick take on it:
“GUATEMALA - Three Central American governments have banned a man claiming to be the Antichrist from entering their countries, outraged by his inflammatory preaching against the Catholic Church and [see entire entry...]

I did not attend, but I’m wondering if there was a religious component to it. I imagine there was and if it’s intriguing and inspiring how people create community and express religious faith using the technology available to them.

Hey all-
My name is Sam(antha) and I’m a video girl here at Berkeley.  I’m working with Erin Fitzgerald, another News21er, to make some weekly video postings from News21land.  Not sure exactly what we’re going to do, but we’re thinking of producing at least one little nugget each week that we can post on YouTube, and here on the blog, to let the world know what we’re working on and to get some responses from the [see entire entry...]

themes.wordpress.net is currently broken, no it’s not just us.
finding themes was difficult the only way i managed to do it was to click test run and take note of the id so you know which on you clicked. then send me the url like http://themes.wordpress.net/download.php?theme=1711 or http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=1711 and I’ll install it.
