Follow the link for Google’s announcement re: their latest Google Fiber rollout. It’s like Australia’s National Broadband Network, but Google’s doing it.
Yay! Something to love about Google!

He knows his way around all of the devices (despite receiving almost zero instruction), but still obsesses over one particular screen in one particular app. “The doors of the bus go open and shut…”

Happily, Miss 1 is showing less interest in gadgets.
Christian vs. “Christian”
An insightful piece on why it’s unhelpful to put Christians in a convenient box for the purposes of your argument. Annoyingly, Christians do it as much as anyone else.
No excerpt. The whole thing is great.

The last rule is my favourite:
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second, it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.
