Flattery will get you everywhere, or, the inaugural post of an aspiring egomaniac
I am flattered at the invitation to post at Radical Congruency. I hope that I will live up to my reputation.
I thought I’d make my first post an introduction to who I am. So…I’m Daniel. I have a little less motivation to take over the world than some other posters here, but I do have interests in a little bit of everything: global politics, environmentalism, economics, social activism, emerging theology, self-development, spirituality, art, photography, film, history, technology…
I am a voracious reader. I am currently reading:
The Coming of the Son of Man by Andrew Perriman.
Delivered From Destraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder by Edward Hallowell and John Ratey
The New Testament and the People of God by NT Wright
Black and White Photography by Henry Horenstein
Slacktivist’s biting review of the Left Behind series (Update: now with link! That would help…).
Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Bret Pettichord
I consider myself post-charismatic (thanks to Robbymac for coining the phrase). I come from a background that is as extreme as that featured in the Jesus Camp video (in fact, the wild-eyed guy in the trailer used to be my pastor).
I live in Seattle. I’m a software QA engineer. I’m a part of Seattle Metro Church, try occasionally to get the forums going at filmnite.com, and (now) I post at Radical Congruency.
Welcome aboard, Daniel!
I didn’t know you had Andrew Perriman’s book.
For those who don’t know, he is the guy behind Open Source Theology, and was an early influence on my thinking here at RC.
I don’t have it, but thanks to the miracle of interlibrary loan, I am currently reading the copy from Goddard Library at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.
Who’s this guy?
I am really really really excited to see what you write, Daniel. It may very well be the best thing since sliced bread.
Aw, shucks…
