I’m so happy to see Gordon Atkinson, Real Live Preacher as well as computer tech, mentioned in a New York Times article about bloggers who publish books. I haven’t read Gordon’s book, but his blog is a wonderful place to think about the meaning of writing, or for that matter, the meaning of life, although for the record, he does NOT preach at his readers.

It’s not surprising that publishers have started to recruit bloggers to write books, although the process of blogging and the process of writing a book are VERY different. I expect a few people will make the transition happily, some unhappily for the money, and some people, like myself, write better in snippets.

Gordon’s book would make a good gift for someone appreciates both cool technology and a spiritual journey.
