Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Wired on how neon signs are made.
Christianity: Relevant tells us why men shouldn't refer to their spouses as "smokin' hot wives," and analyzes the Song of Songs (aka Song of Solomon) in the process.
Relevant muses about prayer being (sometimes) boring.
Ken Schenck closes a fine series on the Ten Commandments with some thoughts on "Thou shalt not covet."
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware has an annotated list of Android apps that serve as reminders and calendars.
Gizmo's also recommends running VirusTotal on any Android devices you have.
Health: Listverse on 10 feats of human endurance, such as staying awake, or going without food and water, for a very long time.
History: Listverse reports on the 10 richest men (no women listed) in history.
Politics: Politifact finds, after thorough research, that the US does not have the highest personal tax rate in the world, although perhaps it has the highest corporate tax rate in the world.
Wired tells us that people are modifying existing guns to make their own semi-automatic weapons.
Relevant says that racism is alive and well in the US, even in Christians, and, probably, in you and me, and tells us what we can do about it.
Science: Listverse points out 10 things that one or more species of animals can do, that we can't.
Gizmodo reports that the Caribbean basin makes a very low-pitched sound.

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.

Good articles. Interesting about neon. I had never thought much about how the signs were made. Looks like dangerous work.
The article about racism is very convicting. Much to think about, and pray about.
Yes, it was.
As always, thanks for reading and commenting.
