Sunspots 82

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

Computing: Dave Taylor is "The Very Model of a Blogging Evangelical." He knows his Gilbert and Sullivan, too, at least part of it. Like G&S, his post is hilarious.

Sara posted a link to "How Many of Me?" which says it tells you how many other people in the US have the same name as you do. I'm unique, name-wise, this site says. I suspected as much.

Science: Foxtrot, the comic strip, on mathematics and football.

A giant storm, resembling a hurricane, has been found on Saturn.

Henry Neufeld's essay on "An Evolutionary Understanding of Kinds."

A couple of scientists, prominent enough that I have heard of one of them, are claiming that "life was the necessary consequence of available energy built up by geological processes on the early Earth. Life sprang from this environment, they say, in the same way that lightning relieves the accumulation of electrical charge in thunderclouds." I'm not convinced.

Christianity: Foxtrot, the comic strip, on theology, philosophy, and football.

The Evangelical Ecologist on creation care, and knowing the "gardener" of the earth.

This week's Christian Carnival is here. (For information on locating these Carnivals, see here.)

When I don't tell where I found an item above, I either found it directly, or was probably pointed to it by the Librarian's Internet Index, SciTech Daily, or Arts and Letters Daily. All of these sources are great.

Thanks for reading! Keep clicking away.
