Understanding the Times – The current edition of Tabletalk magazine has an interesting interview with Carl Trueman. I especially appreciated his take on the importance of church history and the real scandal of the Evangelical mind.

Discovery – Here’s a high-resolution 360 degree view of the flight deck of Space Shuttle Discovery. It’s amazingly rudimentary when you compare it to the Airbus A380.

Extreme Views on Abortion – Denny Burk asks who really holds the extreme views on abortion.

Canada Explained – It’s obviously not entirely without some left-leaning political bias, but video does a pretty good job of describing Canada’s strange political system. (The video came in a time when Canada had a minority government; this is no longer the case)
