Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: (Sort of) National Public Radio tells us that Nigeria
has the best Scrabble players in the world.
Christianity: Speculative Faith points out that some
Christians use magic spells.
Weekend
Fisher has posted a fine essay on confessing sin.
Computing: Trend Micro is offering free
tools for recovery from ransomware.
Education: A Wired columnist says that college
won't train you for a job, but that's OK.
Humor: (or something) Relevant has posted a short video of a Lego
construction that makes shadows that look like three different objects,
depending on how the construction is rotated. Perhaps the coolest Lego creation I've ever seen.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight details the changes
in the US welfare system (actually, it's now 50 systems) since the
welfare reforms put in place while Bill Clinton was President. You will probably be surprised by what has happened.
Science: Space.com, and many other outlets, report that a nearby
star has a planet that may be suitable for life.
Listverse reports on 10
discoveries of things preserved in amber, and what they tell us
about the past.

I enjoyed reading about the Nigerians who are doing so well in Scrabble. I enjoy the game, but not competitively. It's a fun way to exercise my brain, if I can find someone to play with.
ReplyDeleteThe articles about Christianity were interesting and convicting. Lots to think about, and pray about.
I loved the Lego creations! Amazing! I'm going to email that to my son; he loved Legos as a child, and still plays with them sometimes! (He's 43.)
Sad about how the welfare "reforms" have hurt people.
Thank you!
