Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Computing: Wired has some
interesting thoughts on replacing
car mirrors with cameras.
Literature: A short, but excellent review
of the Tales of Goldstone Wood books, by Anne Elisabeth Stengl. I am
reading the sixth one of these at the moment.
Philosophy: A review,
by a philosopher and Bible scholar, of God's
Not Dead (the movie).
Politics: (sort of) The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has produced a Living Wage Calculator.
It is apparently adjusted for each county in the US.
From WBUR, in Boston: A report on how increasing
income inequality should not be a surprise, based, in part, on Jane
Austen and Balzac.
National Public Radio reports on a retiring congressman who says that $174,000
a year is not enough for a member of Congress. He may be right.
Science: NPR on the
importance of whale poop to ocean life. It's critical.

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'm not convinced that cameras are better. They do offer some advantages, but I would prefer that mirrors be supplemented with rather than replace by cameras. My daughter-in-law's minivan has a rear view camera, and I still use the mirrors and turn around to look behind me when I'm driving her car.
Thanks. We now have a car with a camera. It does help, but we use mirrors, too.
