I run another blog called Urban Semiotic and over there we look at issues rotting the urban core.
This WordPunk blog concerns writing about words in the wilds.
We are textual.
We are not the image.
Is it possible for text to be semiotic?
Or is the word always text — even as an image?
After my free TypePad trial, I have decided to stick with “paying my way” blogging so I can continue to watch TypePad grow its features set in comparison with my ongoing experience with both Blogger and WordPress.
TypePad’s support folk are kind and responsive and that is important when you have a dire question or when you blog dies — and the inevitable truth of all life on the web is that everything eventually dies — sometimes things are reborn anew, but many times things stay dead without direct resuscitation.
If one hopes to create something of everlasting worth, one must take deep moments to pause and contemplate the idea in time, space, and proximity to an eternal truth.
Contemplation leads to questions and answers that may not be readily provided.
It is in that chasm between the wondering and the answering that gives us context for caution against living and dying and we too often wage death over the sin of life.
In a rare and astonishing disconnect between Jesus and the media, the Cape Town Advertising Standards Authority ruled it was “out-of-order” for a religious campaign to claim “Jesus can heal AIDS” without “objective substantiation.”
Know this universal warning: Beware of words and their meaning! Words are tricksy. Text is culturally malleable!
