Do not think of the Kindle as replacing the book. Bury that thought. Bury it deep. Then go and hold a favorite book in your hand. Enjoy. Then pile 50 of your favorite books and carry them with you all day, through airports, onto airplanes, checking into hotels, sitting in meetings, reading in [...]
Yesterday I found trying to write the archetypal 500-word op-ed so much fun that this morning I’ve decided to write a couple more on (what I will charitably call) the art form. And because Rabbi Jesus advised us to go where the sinners are – an idea revealing of His divine understanding of marketing [...]
So, hey, it’s been more than 3 weeks since I last wrote anything over here. Time sure flies when you’re having fun, don’t it? And I have been having fun, never doubt that. I have several personalities trapped inside my skull. There’s the wannabe theology wonk, the wannabe healthcare policy wonk, the system administrator, the [...]
As the wedding day of yours truly draws ever closer (golly, can it be less than two weeks away now?), certain facts of life are becoming impossible to ignore any longer. Among these: that my freedom to loaf for days’ worth of time playing a much-anticipated video game with my brother shall soon meet [...]

Well, [...]
It’s photos like this that demand we start a “Mad Libs” category.
And yes, since I know you’re wondering: she is an actual representative. Brazil.

Webmaster Joe’s really been crankin’ out the apologetics recently. And it’s all interesting – not so much the in-and-outs of the arguments themselves (which I say without offense to Joe, I hope – I simply know them already) as my reaction to them from a new, quasi-outsider perspective, what I’m learning about [...]
An absolutely chilling article from FOXNews.com informs us that the Obama administration is now claiming the right to “continue to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been acquitted (italics mine) of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission.”
Recall that the Bush administration was lambasted during its stay for (a) holding terrorist trials by [...]
I just learned about two new books that I’m interested in reading. (Editor: Isn’t that true of every book you hear about?)
This one interests me because Dr. John Walton interests me. I transcribed a sermon he gave on Genesis one, Why Didn’t God Call the Light, Light?, and have read some shorter pieces he’s written. [...]
