Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to
someone else:
Christianity: Todd Wood considers the question of whether
it would matter if we discovered intelligent life on other planets,
somewhere.
A Lenten meditation
on dust (i.e. ashes) in the BioLogos forum.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware tells about alternativeTo.
The idea is that you type in the name of a software application, and the web site can respond with a list of alternatives that do more or less the same
thing, and indicates whether they are free or not, and what platforms they work on.
Gizmo's Freeware also recommends Print
My Fonts! Our computer has over 300 of them, which I didn't know until
I ran the program. We don't need them all. (Actually, our computer says that some of the ones I thought I didn't need are protected system fonts.)
Health: National Public Radio reports that there are bacteria
in your soap.
(or cooking) I'm not a "foodie," but you may be. Wired
has reviewed 5
meat thermometers.
Humor: (or something) Wired
reports that a beehive
that is made so that honey will flow from it, without the necessity of
removing the combs, has been developed.
Science: FiveThirtyEight Science
considers the question of whether
or not we can taste fat.
Wired reports that the
Amazon basin depends on the Sahara desert for it's continued existence
as a diverse ecosystem. Who knew?
Relevant reports that NASA has
found two
lights on Ceres, a large asteroid. (There's a photo.)

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.
