LDS News Watch

As reported on the More Good Foundation blog, I’ve recently partnered with Chris Knudsen and Connor Boyack to launch a site called LDS News Watch, a place to find interesting news articles about the Mormon church. It will also encourage accurate reporting:

LDS News Watch will also call out newspaper editors and writers who report inaccurately about the [Mormon] Church. This will give interested Church members the opportunity to submit polite clarifications to those newspapers. We hope this will encourage accurate reporting about the Church while showing the civility and graciousness of Mormons even when misunderstood.

If you find an interesting or inaccurate article about Mormonism, please report it to LDS News Watch.

Quoty

Connor Boyack recently created a service called Quoty for saving and annotating interesting quotes. I’ve wanted this for a long time — a place to save quotes of prophets, world leaders, business leaders, and thinkers.

I hope all of you friends and family will use this because I’d like to read quotes and passages you think are important. You can find quotes by keyword (here are quotes about faith) or by person (here are all of the quotes I’ve saved.)

Berkeley Course on Open Source

If you’d like to learn more about “open source software” — what it is and how it fits into society — Berkeley has a new course entitled Open Source Development and Distribution of Digital Information: Technical, Economic, Social, and Legal Perspectives. Course lectures are available online as a podcast.

I think these will be great lectures to follow. Downloading now…
