antiquus postremo

'antiquus postremo' is latin for "ancient future". ancient-future is a term used by the so-called "postmodern church" or emerging church to envision what the future of the church might look like if we returned to modeling the early church as described in the book of acts. anyway, ancient future for this blog just means that I'm writing about what's happening right now in my life, kind of like saying "yesterday's tomorrow".

Stardate: -317642.09

So has anyone looked at the stardate converter (under Links) yet? Those stardates that I'm using are real! How cool is that! I'm definitely a certifiable Star Trek nut in at least one small way. If the stardates don't make sense to you, the stardate converter link explains how the futuristic dating system works.

Supplemental: Saying stardates are "real" is kind of like speaking Klingon (which, if you didn't know, is a complete language created by a linguist which Star Trek freaks can actually learn and then communicate with each other in -- see the "Klingon language" article from Wikipedia, linked below). If a language is used by real people to communicate with each other, how can it be fictional?
