| Description: |
I started "blog one another" in January 2003 as an experiment to see what blogging was and how it might be useful for spiritual formation. Over the years I have shared about my life and what I am learning about the Way of Jesus in the context of our culture. I enjoy fresh ideas and dislike following the status quo just because it's there — so I like questioning and rethinking church. |

I Dream of Mikey
Mike Abrahamsohn in our living room (May 6, 2008, 8:17 PM)

Stolen Laptop: In broad daylight
This is part 1 of a series on my stolen laptop.
Last month, my laptop was stolen from my car in broad daylight. It was in a grey tote bag lying on the floor, right there where you see all the broken glass. I thought that laying a dark bag on a dark floor would make it mostly unnoticeable. That may have hidden it from casual eyes, but not from the thief who set out to do a job.
It was Friday, and I was meeting someone for lunch at IHOP. When I arrived, other techno-geeks were also ar
Help-Portrait: Kingdom Photography

Porcupine Tree: The New Face of Progressive Rock
Though my birthday was many months ago, only last week I enjoyed a long-promised birthday present: a ticket to see Porcupine Tree! You see, I grew up listening to progressive rock: Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Todd Rundgren & Utopia, Genesis, Yes, and a smattering of others (Camel, Gentle Giant, Renaissance, Focus). For this classic prog guy, it has been a breath of fresh air to be discover the neo-prog of Porcupine Tree. (Thanks to my buddy Chris for the ticket, and for introducing this band to me in the fi
