A recent discussion focused on Evangelicalism and the transcript is available at OnFaith. After a thought-provoking conversation, the participants continued the discussion on their blogs. Richard Land followed up to debunk a myth and Randall Balmer provided a rebuttal. Readers of the site added their own thoughts in a lively comment thread.

Find Your Detour takes you inside the mind of four athletes who are experts in skiing, snowboarding, kickboxing and yoga. Each expert keeps a blog with tips and inspirational stories, designed to help you beat the cold and stay active.

A sister site of Eater.com, Resy is not just a blog, it’s a flash chronicle of dining chic in New York City.

With a simple phone call, Resy gauges the relative heat of a restaurant by noting the time at which one can secure a same day reservation for a party of two.

Following the success of OnFaith, last week Apperceptive brought this style and functionality to PostGlobal, a global conversation on current events.

The site is powered be Movable Type Enterprise and knit together with custom plugins to meet the requirements of the editorial, management, and systems team at WPNI. In addition to responding to the question of the day, participating panelists also have their own full Movable Type blog.

Now in public beta, HuffIt lets you decide which news stories should get the most attention. You can submit and Huff the news from anywhere in the world and the most popular stories will appear on the Huffit front page.

Registered users can browse the headlines and Huff their favorite stories. Stories with the most Huffs are promoted to the "Most Popular News" page. Links to user profiles, show you who else is huffing, and who else has huffed the most popular stories. A history of your Huffs is saved at your own public page. This gives the application a competitive, dynamic feeling. A bookmarklet let users quickly contribute interesting items on other websites.

Comparisons will be made to other sites that let you vote on the news, but Huffit was designed for an existing userbase — active Huffington Post users who share a passion for the news and for progressive change.

As you can guess from the title, that was the production team from The L Word. And the site they needed wasn't a real social networking site, but a fictitious one.

The writers had developed a plotline around a website called Our Chart, visualizing who has slept with whom, and a mysterious character who seems to have slept with an extraordinary number of women.

We delivered not just a mockup, but a working Flash file powered by live XML.

The episode aired this past Sunday night. And an actual social networking site is spinning off!

We love this feature. Other recommend and reblogging sites have a similar views, but none quite as elegant, and of course none with the strong content and voice that the Gothamist sites have.

We believe that the best reflection of our work is who our clients are and what they do. In that spirit, we'd like to point you to some of our favorite recent work. The Washington Post's On Faith discussions continue, and in fact they're featured on the front page today.

If you're looking for some last minute gift ideas, take a look at Ed Levine's wonderful guide to "the gift of Nosh," get some gadget tips from the Cranky Geeks, or preview Six Apart's next generation blogging products. Alternatively, the Daily Intelligencer offers a link to some charity ideas, and of course we'll be following Gothamist and her affiliate sites over the break as they continue to bring a fiercely local attitude and viewpoint to current happenings and culture.

Happy Holidays!

Serious Eats is built on Movable Type Enterprise with some custom plugins by Apperceptive for good measure. In addition to some old favorites (like Multiblog) and some new favorites (like RebuildQueue), one of our favorite features is the user profiles, which lists your posts, comments and comments that have appeared since you posted. Check out my own, megnut's, and David Jacobs' pages for starters.

This is a fantastic project and we're not just proud of the results, but we're also fans of the project and the Serious Eats team. We're also flattered that Six Apart has featured the site as part of their Blogs @ Work series. Okay, enough from us, on to the main course!

“John Emerson’s guide covers strategies and techniques of electronic advocacy using email, the Web and other new media to bring about social change. It provides a great overview and analysis of campaigning methods.”

See for yourself at http://backspace.com/action. Thanks, Katrin!

We’re happy to have him rounding out our kickass team.

We'd like to congratulate the Washington Post and Newsweek for their launch of On Faith. Apperceptive helped make the vision of Washington Post Newsweek Interactive a reality by helping to refresh the design of the site, implementing the templates, installing Movable Type Enterprise and creating custom plugins.

We’re excited to see a familiar tagline with the Dalai Lama as an author, and we’re excited to follow the progress of some of the other contributors, including Desmond Tutu, Mohammad Khatami, Elie Wiesel and Akbar Ahmed

Sally Quinn of the Washington Post says “We’re going to engage in an intelligent, respectful, and diverse conversation with people who’ve spent their lifetimes thinking about faith and religion.”

That’s good blog!

You can read more about David and the rest of our team on our staff page.

Welcome David!

We hear this from enterprise clients all the time. So we put together the Plugin Pack, a collection of the some of the best and most frequently requested Movable Type plugins bundled with ten hours of installation, support, and custom development.

The Plugin Pack was developed in partnership with the plugin developers who receive a royalty from every sale, and who will work with us on incorporating new features and bug fixes.

Six Apart's plugin directory was always a great resource, but official plugin certification is a long ways off. Apperceptive set our own criteria for plugins in the pack: we selected plugins we've installed and had a good experience with, plugins that work well regardless of environment (PHP/perl, Apache/IIS, MySQL/Oracle and so on), and most importantly, plugins that customers ask for repeatedly.

The list will evolve, especially as some of the featured plugins are incorporated into Movable Type and other plugins are developed. We're very bullish on good software. People want to communicate more easily, and we want to help them provide tools to do so.

We're really pleased this is finally public. We've been talking about this idea with developers and customers alike for more than a year, and of course we want to thank Six Apart and the participating developers for all the support we've received.

On October 8, for Condé Net we migrated 110 Wired blogs and photo galleries from Tripod to TypePad. The editors seem happy in their new home.

And on September 21, for Ziff Davis we helped the tech video blog DL.TV launch with a new design and a new home on Movable Type Enterprise.

There’s an extra satisfaction in doing tech work for sites that deliver expert comment on technology.
