I have been playing with and enjoying Google Earth’s Sky option (although I have had some odd configuration errors), but I have also been looking at some interesting adaptations of Google Maps.
Just click the links. Seeing it will do more than explaining, plus I am tired and lazy tonight.
In a related note, the Internet Archive has made a deal to host an archive of NASA images at Nasaimages.org. Right now it is just a NetSol holding page which doesn’t show up in the Internet Archive even though it was registered in 2005. Additionally, the email address of the Internet Archive is apparently internetarchive@yahoo.com.
A nice thing about the internet is the ability to read stuff you don’t agree with without having to actually debate anybody personally. I often read a particular blog that I am not willing to link to here, but it does have an interesting article / rebuttal considering Christian faith.
The post has a link to an article about the LA Times religion reporter losing his faith. This type of thing is very typical for the blog. They follow Christianity for the sole purpose of finding flaws and mocking Christians. They preach tolerance, but only for beliefs they agree with.
The surprise is that they posted a nice rebuttal from someone who appears to be a Christian. Troy made some excellent points that I expect to be attacked soon.
“I would argue that Lobdell put his faith in the wrong thing to begin with. Christ didn’t call us to put our our faith in a church — an organization of people after all — but in Him. (. . .) No one, but a fool believes in human perfectibility.”
It sounds like the work of Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light, but it is a new strategy for punishing minor infractions. I have been looking for something like this for a while in order to punish the “sins” I deal with the most.
Not putting something on the schedule
Leaving an outside door open
Not taking something off the schedule
Leaving an outside door unlocked
Not updating something wrong on the schedule
Propping an outside door open
Forgetting to look at the schedule and trying on using a place that has already been booked
There is other stuff, but I think I have been in a rut lately.
Do you use minor punishments for minor problems just to make sure people take notice and correct themselves? What do you do when your boss or the preacher does the infraction? What about when you do it?
All it takes to get your family featured on the Discovery Health web site (including fun facts and games about your family) is having 17 children.
I don’t believe we are going to be able to catch up, so I’ll let them keep their position.
As one of my Bible College professors once said, “If we can’t convert them we can at least out breed them. Thankfully I am married to a goddess of fertility.” They had 5 kids at that time.
The official connection with Forbes.com happened quite quickly, I’m wondering how long this has been planned.
Wouldn’t it be neat to have a ministry blog bring attention to a church in this way? Someone connected to a church connecting with the community. Fake Steve was enjoyed by Mac lovers and Mac haters alike, I am interested in how it progresses now.
