Thursday May 31, 2007

Music: Mark Roberts has some interesting questions and reflections on the sheer convenience of downloading music from iTunes.

Music: While on the subject of music, the good folks at Sovereign Grace are offering a free song from an interesting new project called “Asleep in a Storm” which presents remixes of some of their songs.
