My favorite quotation from the post was attributed to John Eldredge as a paraphrase:
It’s easy to be brave when you are sitting in the safety of your own office. You can hurl digital spears at your adversaries without without the risk of a [...]
I’m tempted to say it is providential, except that I know the difference between “providence” and “serendipity.” This weekend a friend was telling me about Vern Poythress‘ article on Microsoft. I promised to look for it (and blog about it) but forgot.
But look at this headline from the top of Google News’ tech [...]
I just heard on my G4 gaming news podcast that “they” (?) are making a movie based on the arcade game–can you believe this?–Joust. Better. It will be set in a future Las Vegas that hovers up in the sky.
I doubt I’m ever going to see that movie, but I would have purchased tickets to [...]
This is incredible. High school sexual harassers should be treated how? What legal recourse would a student truly have?

My childhood friend Katherine Hooper has a website devoted to fantasy literature. Much of the literature isn’t new in any objective sense, but hey, if you haven’t read it, it is new to you! I think finding a reviewer who likes what you have read, gives you reason to check out the books he [...]
Note my RETRACTION
Say it is a call to discernment.
My only hope is that the ad copy misrepresents the copy of the book.
The book, by the way, is also being released as a video later this year. Crossway published a clip of the details of some of the argumentation:
There are lots of gods on offer today.
The lie that is “God.”
We all know we’re living in a post-Christian world but we also seem to be suppressing that knowledge. As a result, we actually making the situation worse since we are obstructing our opportunities to communicate the truth about the real god.
The question of [...]
How cool!
“It used to bother me that he played that game so much” said Elizabeth Grimes of her 13 year-old son Danny. “He would sometimes wake up on a Saturday and play all day long without stopping. He never read his Bible either. But now I’m much more at ease. With those Bible verses always [...]
Judges would be assisted by neutral expert witnesses and guided by evidence-based practice guidelines. Unlike juries, they would issue written opinions that establish precedents and standards of care, removing much of the uncertainty physicians now practice under.
One of the weird things about philosophical Conservatives: opposition to Judge-made law. There are understandable reasons for why Conservatives [...]
There is a certain kind of heresy to which it is important to respond that, no matter what you achieve through your best efforts, you cannot be good enough to earn a place in heaven.
But for most of history and most of the human race, as any parent with more than one child knows, the [...]
I found this post by a self-confessed Asperger’s sufferer really interesting, though I’m not sure I understand it all. Here’s a snip:
I believe it runs in my family somehow, but I got all the negative aspects of it. My oldest brother has an extremely high IQ, my youngest brother has an incredible capacity [...]
We all need to avoid “recreational purchasing.” It makes sense to address that issue.
And debt is a monster. Anyone with a brain should fear it as far as consumer spending is concerned.
Having said that, I don’t think much of the focus on reducing spending to get one’s finances in order makes much sense. [...]
WordMP3 / James B. Jordan / Studies in Ephesians
It is simply a travesty that the name “Paul” for most people, summons up a pastiche of Romans and Galatians while the other letters are relatively neglected. Ephesians 2.8-10 might make the cut but not much else.
I say it is a travesty because the evidence indicates [...]
Both Dr. Helen and Jon Barlow blogged about this study.
Whether they are mourning the passing of their prime or struggling to cope with the demands of a job and young family, those aged 35-44 invariably hit a mid-life crisis when their happiness level plunges lower than at any other age, according to a study for [...]
A lot of this is right and is worth considering in an environment of the typical “the government is always right” propaganda.
But it misses the point, I think, as to why many were motivated to go to war and why it should have been expected and even understood when the South attempted to secede.
That point [...]
Rant cancelled.

I am way busy getting the house ready for visitors, so WWW will have to be truncated.
I have loved moneytrackin’ for budgeting projects. I will eventually want something tied to my bank account, but for now this is just fine. The use of tags is really helpful.
My only advice would be to think [...]
Wow. A blogger spent a lot of time putting together this survey of the GTD app landscape. I am quite impressed. Will be bookmarking this for future GTD tools for some time to come.
(Much of this is for the Mac, but not all. Besides, with more web tools available, OS is [...]
