Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Threads from Henry's Web, a blog, has some careful thinking on separation
of church and state. (Notice that I'm not putting this in Politics,
but in Christianity.)
A blog
post about Contemporary Christian music, from a worship leader who has
moved away from doing 100% of that in worship.
Computing: Relevant reports that
there is a real college course, entitled "wasting
time on the Internet."
Gizmo's Freeware reports
on a free web site that will convert most any file format into something else.
Humor: Tom
Magliozzi, co-host, with his brother, Ray, of Car
Talk, a long-running National Public Radio show, has passed away. We miss him.
Why it's smart to wear the same outfit every day. (This seems to apply to men, not women, but what do I know?)
Literature: Speculative Faith on The
Bible and magic. I hadn't considered that Elsa,
from Frozen, is a witch, but
I guess she is. The article doesn't condemn Frozen.
It does point out specific uses of magic that Christians should avoid.
Science: Wired
reports
on the winners of a contest on the best photos of microscopic objects.
Sports: Caroline Wozniacki, tennis star (she came in second in this year's US Open) ran
in the New York marathon, and did well, in spite of never having run
the entire distance at one practice session before. How good would she be if she really practiced?

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.
