The Tuesday Ten

1. Pray often. ‘nuff said.

2. I’m seeing an increase in the use of the word “Meme” (pronounced “meem”). It is a word made out of whole cloth by Richard Dawkins to express the idea that cultural values, ideas and behaviors are passed from person to person, replicating as genes do or as viruses do. “Memes” are part of a belief system that says “cultural evolution” is analogous to “biological evolution.” Please understand what this word means and be very cautious about using it.

3. Recommended blog: http://www.michaeltotten.com

4. Good info:Grammar Tips

5. Laptop Computers: It is probably not the best time to buy a laptop, at least not a budget laptop. However, there are some good systems in the $500-$600 range if you know what to look for. Acer makes a good laptop… sometimes the big box stores put one of their models on sale pretty cheap.

6. Read this: American Christianity and the “Culture of Customization”

7. Digital cameras rock. They get better and cheaper all the time. I’m not fond of camera phones… I guess I’m old school, but I think serious cameras should be stand alone devices. NewEgg.com camera deals.

8. This is a very good book: Reinventing Jesus

9. I find this disturbing: Some Southern Baptist leaders embrace “global warming.” I certainly believe in good stewardship, but it sure is strange to join this bandwagon now just when we’re beginning to see the “global warming” hoax unravel.

10. Have “Nigerian” scam email letters seen their apex? I hope so. If you receive anything by email that sounds too good to be true, IT IS!
