Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: It's not out yet, but here's a blog post warning Christians not to
take the Left Behind movie too
seriously.
A splendid lecture on how
God is seen through nature.
Computing: Be careful of pirated e-books. Apparently, some of them can
hack your Amazon account.
Relevant has posted a map showing all
the web-connected devices on the planet. Interesting, but perhaps not terribly surprising -- web use is concentrated in a few places.
Science: One of the advantages of
being sexual is that the offspring have new and unique combinations of the genes of their parents. But Wired
reports on a microscopic organism that takes such recombination
much further than any other known living thing.
Wired also reports on a parasitic worm that invades the eyestalks of snails, so it can be eaten. Really. There's a short video.

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 have written an e-book, Does the Bible Really Say That?, which is free to anyone. To download that book, in several formats, go here.
