Sunspots 169


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




Humor:
Scott Uselman has posted some good advice for husbands. (It's serious, too.)

Science:
From an article on Einstein , a statement about his job in the patent office: ". . . this supposedly menial position that a world uncomprehending of Einstein’s genius forced him to settle for actually worked to his advantage. Ascending the career ladder at a university might well have stifled creativity rather than encouraged it; senior professors don’t appreciate it when their junior colleagues overturn the accepted order of the universe."

Politics:
Chuck Colson has argued that the Bible teaches that government must be limited. Henry Neufeld disagrees, and gives some good reasons for doing so.

This isn't exactly politics, but I have no category for a heart-warming story on raising the status of the "untouchables" of India . From CNN.

Literature:
A reflection on the attitude of C. S. Lewis on technology, based on a remark of Lewis in a letter to Arthur C. Clarke, no less.
