I do so wish I had the time and the holistic sense of scope that David Heddle has, to write such excellent theological documents: On Biblical Inerrancy.
Meeting Dean
I joined Dean and wife Amy yesterday for a fun afternoon at a CMC music festival, surrounded by a beautifully pastoral forest setting. Great day, great company, and they have a cute kid, too. (And no, I didn’t turn out to be a psycopathic internet-stalking axe murderer.) :D
Pink Whitmer
Gotta love Wayne’s new look. It’s so pretty! (Update: Well, he’s back to being “manly as football and power tools.” Hooyah.)
OS X Buttons in Photoshop
From Pixeljerk: How to make MacOS X buttons. Now you too can get those goopy Aqua gelcaps on your forms. I’m cranking up Photoshop right now. (Link via /.)
Poking Fun at Activists
After Radley Balko’s account of rallies in DC, we now have Accordion Guy blogging Reclaim the Streets. Keep it up, guys. Soon, poking fun at activists could be the next big Olympic event. ;D
Pius Gives the Finger
At dinner last week, Brian said I should read Barlow more. He’s right; where else could you see Pope Pius XII flipping the bird at Freemasons? Well, okay, not really.
Jesus is Omnipresent.
If Eli Soriano does indeed argue that God is not omnipresent, I wonder how that relates to Ephesians 4.10: “He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.” (Note that Paul is saying that Jesus fills all things.) Eli Soriano is wrong on that very important count. Ergo, he is a false teacher. Case closed.
More from an ex-member. The ADD cult’s official message board is now password-restricted, but you can still get a taste of that ol’ Kaanib goodness from me. Kaanib.net.
More on the PBMA Cult
More newsclips on the PBMA Cult from this message board post. His followers really did look on him as a reincarnated Jesus, omnipresent and omnipotent. Maybe he just felt that way from all the drugs.
Invisible Cities
Reading assigned for Interactive Design class: Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities,” a fictional retelling of Marco Polo’s accounts to Kublai Khan of the cities he has seen. Except that all the cities are, in one way or another, amalgamations of Venice. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m just re-reading Plato’s Republic in little bite-size nuggets.
Through the course of the semester, we will be required to make an interactive multimedia experience out of at least one of the Cities. Anyone who has read the book, do you have any preferences?
Ellen Feiss
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP! Apparently the prevailing meme du jour is jaded, glassy-eyed, Apple-endorsing teenage nymphet Ellen Feiss. The whole internet seems to be humping her leg:
And though she’s only 15, it will probably be only a matter of time before “Ellen Feiss Nude” becomes the leading Google search request, overtaking Britney Spears. At least for a few days.
