Regardless of who we are, in the end God gives each of us nothing less than what we most sincerely desire. If we desire God, He abundantly gives us that relationship. If we don't want God at all, He will grant that absence. When nothing else is left, it can't be said that He has been less than fair to ...

YouTube now supports 4K video
Read about it here on YouTube's official blog. In layman's terms, this is more than FOUR times the resolution of 1080P high-def video.And for some reason, YouTube made sure to note that "IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors".Ummmm... why is YouTube doing this? I haven't a clue. Perhaps someone could enlighten me about this. Because I'm having a very hard time imagining why anyone would need to display video at 4096 x...

About President Obama suing the state of Arizona...
What the hell does President Obama think he is doing?Obama's administration is suing Arizona for that state's recently passed anti-illegal immigration law. Obama's rationale is that Arizona is overstepping its limits as to what a state can and cannot do. The official line coming out of the White House is that Arizona's getting tough on illegals is something that only the federal government should be handling.Like hell it is. The people and government...
Neatest bit of history that I've discovered this week
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England is visiting the United States this week. Yesterday she visited the site of the World Trade Center in New York City and took part in a memorial service there for those who died in the 9/11 attack.I didn't know until yesterday that Queen Elizabeth II had served her country during World War II. In fact, the Queen is the last surviving...

Oldest known illustrated Bible discovered in Ethiopia
I've long been fascinated by the history of Christianity in places like India and Ethiopia. There exist today in western India congregations of the faithful that claim - with some evidence - to have been founded by the apostle Thomas in the years following the earthly ministry of Jesus. And then there is Ethiopia: a land where Christianity is said to have arrived courtesy...

Life-sized General Grievous costume
A few days ago this blog forwarded along a story about a full-sized costume of a Covenant Elite from the Halo video games. If that didn't stun and impress, maybe this one will...A dude in Germany has built a costume of General Grievous from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (as well as being featured in numerous other Star Wars works of fiction). Yeah you read that right: a General Grievous getup. And it not only looks incredible but...

Just keep watching this space :-)So while I was enjoying this Fourth of July weekend those industrious folks at Muppet Studios uploaded another new clip onto YouTube! It's der Swedish Chef in "Pöpcørn"...I'd love to know if the Chef's hands are being operated by one Muppeteer or two. If it's two, that would make this clip even more im...

Truth in advertising?
