Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: A video
of Julia Fischer, who is an accomplished violinist and also a very good classical pianist.
Computing: Wired says that the
next big change in information appliances, and it's already started, is wearable
devices.
Science: The Milky Way (the galaxy we are inside) has
been awarded four arms, not the two previously given, according to the
Christian Science Monitor.
Perhaps more
than you want to know about cockroaches, from the History Channel.
Wired reports on strange structures built by spiders in the Amazon area.
P. S. You may not have noticed, but I have been posting the "Sunspots" on Wednesdays for several years. This time, this one is going up on Tuesday, because Wednesday is Christmas. I know -- we don't know what year or month Christ was born, let alone what day, but December 25th is a day of celebration for Christians, and tomorrow's post is related to that celebration. Thanks for reading.

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.

I honestly DON'T see watches catching on and I really think Apple just teased everyone into releasing watches. The Samsung Galaxy gear is slow and a joke, I honestly don't see how Apple could improve it.
The Pebble is neat, but in the end, just an expensive watch.
Merry Christmas
God knows, and only time will tell. By "wearable devices," they mean more than watches.
