Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: (sort of) Google has a map
of present-day Israel, and surrounding countries, with information on sites of historical interest also marked.
Computing: OneTab is a browser
add-on that converts all your browser's tabs to links, which can save clutter, and release some of your computer's resources. It can also be used
to restore any or all such to tabs. (The web site apparently automatically recognizes which browser you are using.)
Health: National Public Radio says that we are spending
a lot less, proportionally, on food than our grandparents did.
Humor: Addam Schwartz, of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, pokes
fun at recent studies that claim sitting is bad for our health.
There's a YouTube video, less than 2 minutes long, that says that you
and I have been eating bagels incorrectly.
NPR reports on the fairly long history
of knock-knock jokes.
Science: NPR reports that it may
snow in the northern tier of states, but there are dust
storms in parts of Africa, and they can be worse than snow.
Wired praises the aluminum can.
Marketplace reports that FEMA
has a Waffle House Index, which tells them how bad things are after a
storm. Really.

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 prefer my way of eating bagels, thank you very much!
I wrote down some of those knock-knock jokes to tell my granddaughters!
Good old Waffle House, a Sunday supper tradition for us!
Thanks. I prefer my own way, too.
