Alito is Just Alright With Me
If we can judge a nomination by the fear it brings out of the liberal pundits, then Samuel Alito is a wonderful candidate. Liberal author David Corn seems to petrified that Alito is the perfect conservative judge. He is concerned that with Alito, the democrats will be unable to sidetrack the issues: There is no […]

Australian Table Wines
I finally found the audio for one of my favorite Monty Python skits, the review of Australian wines (1.3 mb). Yes, it’s stupid, but it’s funny. I’ve got some other skits ripped from some of their other albums, and I’ll be putting them up online in the future. BTW, Australia has had the last laugh, […]

Flock Released
True to form, I’ve jumped on new technology, and fully expect it to change the way I live my life. A new web tool called “Flock” has just been released in beta, and so far, I think it’s pretty cool. While you can bookmark your links local like normal, you can also link to your […]

Sweet Satellite Hurricane Videos
NASA has a very, very sweet video made up of satellite images of the 2005 hurricane season. I had it playing at work yesterday, and everyone who walked by my cubicle stopped and agreed with my conclusion. Download it and watch it.

Red Hot Coffee
What is small, red, round and is just what the doctored ordered? No, it’s not that little pill that you now have to ask your pharmacist for by name. The answer is Red Hots cinnamon candies, which were created by Ferrara Pan in the 1930s. If you’re looking for a cure for those boring coffee […]

The Namesake of R.C. Jr’s Son
One of my favorite blogs is that of Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr. Reading it gives me courage to live a joy-filled life, not in fear of others (Gal 1:10 ) . He and his wife, Denise, recently adopted a baby. His blog entry about the adoption and the baby’s namesake put tears in my eyes. […]

Sarah’s Biscotti Recipe
Since my post, I have worked to perfect my own biscotti recipe. (According to this link, Biscotti in the US can be traced back to Christopher Columbus.) My recipe is inspired by the recipes for Biscotti di Prato from Mary Ann Esposito’s book Ciao Italia: Bringing Italy Home and Mark Bittman‘s Biscotti from How to […]

Le goûter by William Bouguereau
Today, while searching for a calendar to purchase for 2006, came across one that had a William Bouguereau’s painting of The Abduction of Psyche. I decided to do a search on this artist, and found this lovely painting of a little girl. “Le goûter” is French for “The Afternoon Snack”. The girl’s eyes reminded me […]

Emerging Unscathed
Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been distracted by another project, and also been working long hours on a proposal at work. But, I saw this answer and had to share it. MSNBC has posted an interested article surprisingly called, The Gift of ADHD. Intrigued by the title, I started reading the article […]

Casa Salad
One of my favorite places to eat in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is Casa’s in Fort Wayne. Today, I was missing their Isalata Casaburo, and decided to make my own. It hit the spot. The taste is uncomplicated and refreshing. The bite sized texture makes it easy to eat – you can almost scoop it up, […]

Squeamish About Sushi
I haven’t done a review in a while, but Sarah picked up a book at the library that I so enjoyed that I needed to share it. The book is called “Squeamish About Sushi: and Other Food Adventures in Japan“, by Betty Reynolds, and is a beautifully illustrated introduction to Japanese food culture.

Gleaning Laws for the Modern Age
I take a perverse pleasure in seeing people discover for themselves wisdom that’s been in the Bible for centuries. Leviticus 19:9-10 “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy […]
