Better than Jetsons-esque food pills, the future may bring us a Transdermal Nutrient Delivery System, or “Food Patch.” So you can eat your dinner and wear it too.
How to Clean a Toilet
There are two things that a man of my age should know, that I still don’t. One: How to drive a car. Two: How to clean a toilet.
Okay. Now it’s one thing.
Indepundit Blogs the Declaration
It’s the Fourth of July! Indepundit has gone back to 1776 to retroactively blog the Declaration of Independence. Myself, being an American history dunce, I’m reading a timeline of the Revolution, while trying to ignore the annoying flashing banners.

Aarondot in Utah
Aaron’s Utah adventures continue. Very intriguing firsthand experiences of the LDS faith from inside. Be sure to keep him in your prayers.
Oh, and on Aaron’s front page, have you noticed the tiny plus sign beside the “Development” header? Whatever you do, don’t click it!
Mark Byron on the Trinity
Mark Byron makes a brief scriptural case for the Trinity. Quite so, quite so. Even though the “Trinity” is never termed as such in Christianity’s foundational writings, the concept of a God who is One-yet-plural, abounds in the Bible, and Jesus himself did not hesitate to identify himself by the Tetragrammaton: YHWH, or “I AM!” By that declaration alone he is worthy: either to be stoned to death — or worshipped in heaven.
Aiptek Mini Pencam Photoblog
This Pencam is so easy to use I’m tempted to start a photoblog, like Noah Grey. I will munch on the idea for a few days, then see if I’m still as excited about the idea in the future. (Knowing me, it’s most likely just a ningas-kugon impulse.)
ningas-kugon: a Tagalog figure of speech likening impulsive persons’ actions to the quick burning of cogon grass; hot, bright, but short-lived. Approximate English slang equivalent: “flash-in-the-pan.”
Slingshot Prepaid Problems
I was about to post an acerbic complaint about the poor dial-up service I’ve been getting from Slingshot lately, but the apology and recompense on their home page more than makes up for the connection trouble I was having last night. They’re a very human ISP (as you can see from the quips in the FAQ), and far from the cheapest, but they’re the only prepaid ISP I can find around here, and for the time between now and my move to Baltimore in August, Slingshot serves its purpose quite well.
Touchgraph GoogleBrowser
Oooh, the TouchGraph GoogleBrowser for brownpau.com is real purty.
Martin Roth, Kenny, and Eric
Hmmm, here’s one Martin Roth, and here’s another Martin Roth.
Kenny was one of the divers I met on the Palau dive trip last year, but I hadn’t realized he also had a journal. Now I know, thanks to Eric, (who, by the way, has some great photos).
