Feast Day musings - from the digital world

ROME: 31st January 2009 -- A slew of emails came in today with various 'Bosco' links! Despite the GC26 fear that we might not be in this courtyard to 'enlighten and guide', I don't think we should jump to too many premature conclusions on that, especially when you see the volume of material out there. 
    The Pope is a latecomer to YouTube by comparison! Try out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfk0vDihaE&NR=1 for an interesting way of presenting 'Don Bosco Ritorna', though a bit slow and with archaic English by comparison with the lively Italian original.  The same video, when it completes, offers you a range of other 'Bosco' related material, some from the States, others from the Philippines, all of mixed quality but some of it is interesting.
    Then if you want something even more interesting, try this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD3LDWYHMk0 . The background to this is the Salesian Family Spirituality Days recently in Rome and you'll see the Rector Major in top form! (Pity they didn't include the clip of him doing a Mexican dance, however). But the YouTube clip too will give you other items in other languages, all just the tip of the iceberg, really, since there is an incredible amount of material 'out there' if you know how to track it down.
    Speaking of which, someone wrote to me today with an idea of collecting sheet music and mpegs on Salesian-reakted music on SDL. Technically simple - all we need is the content.  So here is an open invitation - send me the material and I'll put it up. Sheet music could be in pdf form and I'll include it as a paged image, obviously.
    We're not done yet.  There is today's Message To The Young by the Rector Major, about (in Italian real time) to be delivered in Turin. You will find it on SDL (best is to search the English collection under 'date' for today's date, or under 'Chavez' as author if you wish - but for today might be just as quick to take it from sdb.org where it will be prominent from the home page.  Whatever.
    And finally.  I wanted to make 31st January at least the pre-publication date for 'Hacking the Way to Heaven', which Lulu.com describes as 'a positive re-appraisal of the term "hacker" with implications for faith and life today, especially in education and formation terms for today's digital natives'.  As I am awaiting a foreword from a big name in the digital scene, this is a pre-publish free download. But the entire book is available the cover for which is the work of Alena Urbánková from the Czech Republic - thanks Alena. As soon as the foreword is available I'll make the book available as a printed edition, available for around €11.  But for now, grab your copy free! http://www.lulu.com/content/5912363
