Yippee skippy, it’s System Administrator Appreciation Day. (My employer’s appreciation has been shown to me this year by allowing me to keep my job.)
Doulogos: zounds, he doesn’t mince words! “But what of the person who finds themselves with no other alternative but to attend a church where they believe differently? I say, hogwash to that. No other alternative? Pffft. Look you lazy sloth, the Queen of Sheba crossed half the earth to listen to King Saul speak, [...]
A Scientific American article about how executive function breaks down in normal people who are overexercising choice: Tough Choices: How Making Decisions Tires Your Brain. You’re going to hear more about things like this.
Holy dark, brooding superheroes, Batman! James Berardinelli gives the latest Bat flick four out of four stars.
Recommended: Prof. Esther Meek condenses her book Longing to Know into a brief article.
Helpful read for those inclined: Steve Hays on love and marriage.
Update: archshrk’s wife shares her story.
I have been enjoying following Gene Veith for the last few months (even when he repeats the canard that Calvinists aren’t Christ-centered, yadda yadda yadda), but I think he earned a permanent spot in my newsreader when I discovered that he’s into Doctor Who.
Apparently we have a new poll. Check it out.
Pastor Rob preached a very good sermon. It wasn’t groundbreaking, in the sense that he brought out any novel interpretation of Scripture; however, it did clearly declare the conditions in which those who are in Christ are to give. It was really good. They’re all good but this one really stood out. [...]
“The Fundamentalists who say the most ignorant things about evolution are wrong on their side. And Dawkins and Myers and their ilk, who dare to call people of faith ’stupid’ (while their own atheism requires as much faith as any snake handling fundamentalist), revolt me.” Original, linked here, found here.
Awesome superhero toy collection. My fave has always been Batman. Spidey comes in as a close second.
Kris Lundgaard is blogging chapter by chapter through The Little Prince. It has remained one of my favorite books ever since we first read it in French class. (For what it’s worth, I made a quick comment in his combox about my short-lived drawing “career,” too.)
By the way, I also want to plug [...]
I posted some of my first impressions after watching Expelled over at Triablogue.
Even if this never actually resulted in a bona-fide abortion, it’s still horrible. (This is a pretty sad/angry thing to read, so be warned.) (Update: wasn’t even true. Still a pretty horrible thing to deal with, though.)
Tons of cool National Geographic photos for your desktop. Taken from Jan. ‘07 to now.
I neglected to mention the protest about the cancellation of Issues, Etc. which happened at work on Monday.
Rather than bore you all on an ongoing weekly basis with my progress on Atkins, I’ll just quietly (or not so quietly, if something surprising happens) update this permanent page on the site with my progress.
Modern parables is pretty cool! It’s a re-presentation of Christ’s parables via, well, modern cinema. (I know I got this from somewhere but I forget where I got it from. So, sorry, no hat-tip for you! I say in my best Soup Nazi voice.)
Christianity Today interviews Douglas Gresham about the upcoming Prince Caspian flick. Gresham’s verdict? “Prince Caspian started with a poorer story than Lion/Witch, but has worked out probably to be a better movie.”
