Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware tells us that there is a free
Merriam-Webster Dictionary app. I tried it on my Android tablet, and
it works. It can even look up spoken words, so you don't have to know how to spell it to find it.
Philosophy: The BioLogos Forum has a two-part post on "Questions on Time and Eternity." A subject with lasting interest. Here's
Part 1, and Part 2.
Politics (and Sports): An article
on Dean Smith, super-successful coach of the University of North
Carolina men's basketball team for many years, who was also a pioneer in race relations, and against the death penalty. Unfortunately, Smith is a
victim of dementia.
Science: The sun is losing
about 5,000,000 tons of mass to Hydrogen every second. But fear not. At that rate, it won't stop emitting significant amounts of energy for about 5 billion years, and by that time, it will have lost only a tiny fraction of its mass.
From the Greenville (SC) News, an
article on a dog
which is said to have an amazing vocabulary, and can understand parts
of speech.
Sports: (And Christianity!) An article in the Chronicle
of Higher Education, no less, about the evangelical Christianity
that is part of the Clemson University football team.
