Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: I confess -- I was YouTube surfing, looking for a good HD version of Beethoven's "Hallelujah Chorus," from his only oratorio, Christ
on the Mount of Olives. I
found one, with chorus and instruments, done at a wedding, no less! Why? I have no idea. Perhaps
the couple were in the choir of that church.
A sermon, entitled "Should
I Turn Off the Respirator."
A blog post, on the most common heresy within the US church.
Computing: (sort of) Wired complains
about the user interface of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Roku, Apple TV,
etc., claiming that old-fashioned channel surfing is more user-friendly.
Humor: Wired reports on some inventions
that haven't been invented, but ought to be.
Science: Wired reports on a study
with musicians
and dyslexia. Apparently dyslexia is cause as much, or more, by a
memory problem as by a perception problem.

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 completely disagree about the Netflix intuitiveness … I wish TV was like Netflix where you could just watch anything you wanted at any time you wanted unless it was a live event.
