Continuing my recent trend of music recommendations, you can’t go wrong with the brilliant rock, ska-infused O.C. Supertones. A while back I picked up all their albums on iTunes, except greatest hits compilations, and stringing these guys together in one giant play-list makes for an epic listen.

Natalie Grant – Love Revolution
I’m surprised to find myself listening to Natalie Grant’s Love Revolution quite a bit. If you’ve heard her previous albums, like I have, and didn’t care too much for their sound, give this one a listen. Natalie’s true voice is unhindered on this album and it’s a beautiful, soaring, powerful voice one just has to…
Weasel, a flexible program for investigating deterministic computer ‘demonstrations’ of evolution
Update 2011-03-08: Turns out the available download of this tool is some old school windows program that won’t run on my 64bit windows 7. I sent CMI a message asking if it was open source or maybe if they had an updated package. I was very intrigued about this tool I heard about from CMI,…
Firefox slow, hitching or freezing? Check your add-ons.
Firefox has been driving me crazy for the last year or two. It’s a great browser. It feels right. It’s add-ons are its killer feature. No other browser has the right set of add-ons and so I’ve never switched. But Firefox has been suffering for a long time and I had no idea what it…
24 Hour Biorhythm…even without DNA
So, a new article, “Ancient body clock keeps all life on time: studies,” talks about the universal human 24 hour body clock even in components of the body without DNA, like red blood cells. Reading the article made me grateful and thankful, and awed of God and his creation. I had a good chuckle when,…
To Tunisia, Yemen, and Egypt: We salute you!
Keep believing. Keep fighting. Seize the day!
Oil from Bacteria
Check this out: A brave new world of fossil fuels on demand. A US company is claiming to be producing “liquid hydrocarbons” from bacteria. Liquid hydrocarbons are what oil companies refine into synthetic crude and then gasoline and other oil-based products. One of the challenges for young earth creationism is the great amount of oil…
Awesome is a God word
I’m not sure who started this but there’s something to the admonition, that I’ve been hearing from James MacDonald, to reserve the word “awesome” for God. It may seem like a petty thing, a legalistic thing, but I have to agree that, in this day and age, our language used about God is so anemic,…
Prayers and Promises
Did you know your prayers are already promised to you? Jesus says, in John 14:13-14, “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” Why, then, have we grown up, from childhood, with…
Tal & Acacia
Update 2011-01-06: I’ve surprised myself by putting this album on quite a bit recently. The simple, sincere lyrics mixed with a refreshing style really hit a certain sweet spot. Give this one a listen! Found this two-sister duo, Tal & Acacia, on iTunes recently and was pleasantly surprised to hear a unique mix of styles…
