“ado­les­cent male mon­keys pre­fer play­ing with trucks while ado­les­cent female mon­keys pre­fer dolls” — one of the best and most intrigu­ing sen­tences I have come across in some time.

The num­ber two per­son receives only 2/3 what the num­ber one per­son receives? Wow. For a health­i­er mod­el, I rec­om­mend one sim­i­lar to the one Ted Hag­gard used at New Life Church. Yes. Ted Hag­gard. He describes it in his book The Life Giv­ing Church. It is sim­i­lar to the mod­el described at http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000038.html

An amaz­ing Par­a­lympics per­for­mance

Or rather, just an amaz­ing per­for­mance, full stop. I was alert­ed to this video by Dun­stan Orchard who tweet­ed “this must be t

Use social media? Yes, yes I do. Use twit­ter? No, no I don’t.

Orga­ni­za­tions Lose $1.3 Tril­lion by Not Engag­ing in Social Media — ThomRainer.com

I was shocked. Two pres­i­dents of orga­ni­za­tions began using Twit­ter in the past two months. These are pres­i­dents I know well, lead­ers who for years saw no val­ue in Twit­ter or oth­er social media. As one…

Con­fes­sions of an evan­gel­i­cal pas­tor reg­is­tered as an inde­pen­dent vot­er

I first attend­ed an evan­gel­i­cal church in the late 1970s. I was born again by the end of the decade at age 13. I began to pay atten­tion to pol­i­tics, with an eye on how they played out in the church. B…

Pyro­ma­ni­acs: “Use the Pen”

Good men there have been and are who could do far more ser­vice for God and his church by their pens if they would write less and write bet­ter. They flood our sec­ond-rate mag­a­zines with tor­rents of ver…

I’m a big met­ric fan… but I like this per­spec­tive a lot. In relat­ed news, it annoys me that “microwaves” have longer wave­lengths than vis­i­ble light.

Why I pre­fer Fahren­heit to Cel­sius — Imgur

Imgur is used to share pho­tos with social net­works and online com­mu­ni­ties, and has the fun­ni­est pic­tures from all over the Inter­net.

This is good stuff. I also like the mild­ly clever title. Here’s mine: “delve but don’t dwell” or maybe “observe but don’t obsess”

It’s amaz­ing how often I need to do this.
