Jordan Sekulow and Matthew Clark wrote: Pro-life advocates have long complained that Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion provider, worships at the altar of abortion, but did you know that the abortion industry actually prays for abortion? Perversely reminiscent of 40 day pro-life prayer vigils, Planned Parenthood is promoting it’s own “40 days of prayer,” [...]

Seven Weeks of Silence
Posted in Miscellaneous on April 1, 2012 |
I’m starting a seven week long project tomorrow that will leave me with almost no free time at all, so this blog will probably be inactive until at least the middle of May. See you then!
Dangerous Hospitals
Posted in Miscellaneous, tagged Health Care on March 16, 2012 |
From KevinMD.com: Second, statistically speaking hospitals are just about the most dangerous places to be in the United States. Three times as many people die every year due to medical errors in hospitals as die on our highways — 100,000 deaths compared to 34,000. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that nearly 100,000 [...]
Fifty Other Nutjobs
Posted in Computing, Miscellaneous, Quotes on February 22, 2012 |
Bruce Perens said: The good news is that, in the age of the Internet, there are no more isolated nutjobs. No matter how nutty you may be, there will always be fifty others like you on the net. LCA: Addressing the failure of open source Oh happy day. :) (I could expound on this, but [...]
The State of the Blog
Posted in Miscellaneous on February 3, 2012 |
As you may have noticed, I’ve been blogging like a house afire, after mentioning four weeks ago that I don’t really have the time for it. So what happened? I wrote a program to help streamline the process, which has trimmed my composition time down to about a third of what it was before. (Unless [...]
Newt Gingrich on Stealth Jihad
Posted in Islam, Miscellaneous, News, Politics, tagged Elections on January 20, 2012 |
Newt Gingrich said: Stealth jihadis use political, cultural, societal, religious, intellectual tools; violent jihadis use violence. But in fact, they’re both engaged in jihad and they’re both seeking to impose the same end state, which is to replace Western civilization with a radical imposition of shari’a. It’s time we had a national debate on this. [...]
Something New
Posted in Miscellaneous on January 6, 2012 |
I haven’t had much time for blogging during the past six months, as you may have noticed. I didn’t even say “Merry Christmas.” (Merry Christmas.) It’s a new year, but my schedule is largely unchanged, so I’m going to try something new. I read quite a lot of stuff via the Internet on a daily [...]

Faster Than the Speed of Light

From Mail Online: It is one of the most fundamental pillars of physics – but Einstein’s theory of relativity could have some (subatomic) holes in it. If the results hold true, it would be the biggest upset in physics in decades. Scientists at the world’s largest physics laboratory say they have recorded subatomic particles, known [...]

Major Relapse & The President’s Press Conference
Posted in Christianity, Miscellaneous, Politics on June 30, 2011 |
This kinder, gentler blogging thing just isn’t working for me. I thought that by sticking with Bible-based topics I could elevate the discussion to a higher place. I think this is a good plan, and I’m going to stick with it (assuming I ever get started). But the Bible has more to say about hell [...]
My “Good News Only” Strategy
Posted in Miscellaneous on June 22, 2011 |
I’ve been back to blogging for about 10 days now, although that may not be apparent to the casual reader. Some time ago I decided I would try to tone down on all the bad news and only post “happy” things for a while. So that’s what I’ve been doing for the past week or [...]
Hello
Posted in Miscellaneous, tagged Trivia on May 27, 2011 |
I’m still here. The course I was teaching is over, and it went well. But I got used to not blogging during those 8 weeks, so I think I’ll keep it up for a few more. :) I’ve been studying church history the past few weeks, and it’s fascinating. The primary difficulty is trying to [...]
Forecast: Blogging will be Light and Variable
Posted in Miscellaneous on April 8, 2011 |
I’m currently teaching an 8-week course on Romans, which along with work is taking up most of my time, so blogging will probably be light until the end of May. I’ve been blogging now for just over a year, and it’s been fun. At the very least it’s cut down on the number of email [...]
My Autoshow Report
Posted in Miscellaneous, tagged Cars on March 20, 2011 |
I’ve been going to the regional auto show since 1974, which makes me one of the first people in the world to realize that the front windows on an AMC Pacer don’t roll all the way down. Growing up I was absolutely fanatical about cars, and I went many years (perhaps decades) before I missed [...]
For the Love of Bad Writing

Laura Miller wrote: Until recently, hardly anyone considered why some readers might actually prefer cliches to finely crafted literary prose. A rare critic who pondered this mystery was C.S. Lewis, who — in a wonderful little book titled “An Experiment in Criticism” — devoted considerable attention to the appeal of bad writing for what he [...]

Fortune Cookies
Posted in Miscellaneous on January 20, 2011 |
I’ve been too busy to blog lately, and I’m really scraping for material here. I just came back from lunch, and this is the fortune cookie I got: The life of every woman or man—the heart of it—is pure and holy joy. That’s closer to the truth than most fortune cookies I’ve read.[1] I was [...]
I Picked the Wrong Week to Quit Sniffing Glue
Posted in Miscellaneous on January 11, 2011 |
Well, it’s not that bad, but I did go cold turkey off caffeine. Fortunately, caffeine addiction is a 9-day affair, so I should be back to normal[1] soon. 1. For some fairly obscure definition of “normal.”
