Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Ken Schenck reminds us that we must work
out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware reports on a program that lets you listen
to radio over the internet, and record it.
Health: The New York Times reports that major
causes of death are still around, but that they are striking later in people's lives, and we aren't sure why.
Humor: 19 jokes
for intelligent people, mostly chemistry-oriented.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight examines the data
on shootings of people by the police, and concludes that the
likelihood of being so shot has not gone down, in spite of recent widely publicized cases.
Science: FiveThirtyEight discusses
very loud sounds.
Listverse tells us about 10
things that our brains do for us, more or less automatically.

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.

Great article by Ken Schenk. I've often wondered about that verse; it can be interpreted to favor a works based religion, but I was pretty sure it didn't mean to be.
My husband and I enjoyed the jokes! Between an English major and a science major, we got them all!
Thanks, FancyHorse.
Glad you got the jokes!
Schenck has done a lot of good stuff.
