New Worship Music
On a quest to find a new worship CD, many folks recommended Misty Edwards from Kansas City. After listening to You Won’t Relent on her myspace page, I was hooked and picked up her latest: Relentless.

Batman: Year One — Reviewed
I’ve had numerous people over the past year or so tell me how much they thought I’d enjoy the Batman graphic novels. I thought about trying to read some last summer but didn’t know where to start. This past spring, though, I figured that out: Batman: Year One, Batman: A Long Halloween and [...]

Seeing a Supernova
Check this out: [Astronomers saw a supernova's birth][1] for the first time ever this past January. Pretty amazing stuff, especially considering we are observing from something like 84 million years after it happened.

Salsa-ing
Salsa class #2 was tonight. It turned out to be quite good. For one thing, it’s good exercise, particularly for a fellow like me. And surprisingly enough, I’m told I’m not half bad. Juli seemed shocked that I’ve never had any type of dance lessons before, and I was told I [...]
