Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: (Sort of) From Wired:
the preview
of a new Star Trek movie.
Christianity: Christianity Today
has a discussion
about Francis Chan and other radical pastors/authors.
Speculative Faith has a fine
post on the resurrection.
Humor: I'm pretty sure that an introvert prepared this chart, distinguishing
introverts from extroverts.
Politics: NPR
reports on how the number of Americans on disability is
growing, in
spite of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and why. Most of it is
not
pretty. Disability, for some people who aren't really disabled, is a
way of
getting support when they can't find work. State governments have an
incentive to get more people on disability, because it's a Federal
program. Some parents have an incentive to have their children stay
on
disability, because, as long as they are, the parents get support. I
should add that there are people out there who are genuinely disabled,
and helping them should be part of the safety net.
Science: Wired has posted a
stunning NASA photo
of Mercury.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
