Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Some hard-working Japanese created a mile-long wooden Xylophone that plays "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," by Bach.
Christianity: (and Politics) An article pointing out how Christianity is privileged, not persecuted, in the US.
Christianity Today says that those of us who oppose protesters who want to open up the country should have compassion on them.
Computing: Gizmodo reports that accepting a lot of seemingly random Facebook Friend requests makes it more likely that you will be a target for questionable Facebook stuff.
Listverse tells us how telemarketers work.
Gizmo's Freeware reports on a free (you don't even have to register) on-line tool that enhances and enlarges pictures.
Education: Microsoft Word has started flagging the use of a double space at the end of a sentence. Some of you aren't going to like it. The article tells how to bypass that AI correction.
Environment: Earther reports that the Trump Administration is planning to allow Uranium mining near the Grand Canyon, which, says Earther, is unnecessary -- we don't have a shortage.
Science: Gizmodo reports that there seem to be several objects in our solar system that were captured from some other star's system.
I never thought of this one, but why not? Scientists are looking for DNA in streams, and finding out about land animals from the DNA they leave behind, according to The Scientist.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight notes the retirement of Muffet McGraw as head women's basketball coach at Notre Dame, and suggests that achieving as many wins as she had will be nearly impossible in a few years. (Three active coaches have more wins than McGraw's 934.)
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
