A La Carte (07/20)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Thursday July 20, 2006

Creation: Over at her very pretty “Sprittibee” blog, Sprittibee has taken on the subject of creation and evolution and this has (as we might expect) generated some buzz. (Buzz, get it?). You can check it out here.

Conference: Bob Kauflin has listed his “Top Ten Reasons to Register Now for the WorshipGod06 Conference.” Coming in at number 4 is “Christian blogger extraordinaire Tim Challies will be live-blogging the conference. Although Tim would confess he’s not a charismatic, you wouldn’t want to miss the possibility of seeing Tim raise his hands in a moment of unguarded passion.” No, you wouldn’t.

Video: This (a restaurant that serves live squid) has got to be one of the most nauseating things I’ve seen in a long time.

Blogging: Adrian has done some thinking about what makes a blog influential. He does a good job of avoiding the easily-quantifiable but too-easy measures of influence.

    Prime Day Deals for Christians

    Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are here, and for those of us who use Amazon anyway, it’s a time to get some deals. You’ll find items on sale across all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed, not Kindle editions).
