Mid week round up

March 13th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Heres the round up for this week, 

but first I am finding a trend in my feed reading, I am consistantly having about 200 unread items in my feed so I may have to make some difficult decisions in terms of unsubscribing from certain blogs. Interestingly it is the blogs that are particularly volumous that I am most tempted to unsubscribe from, maybe quality instead of quantity, I wonder if this is the same for you? It may indicate an interesting message for bloggers.

- Jim Martin has an excellent story about a surprise phone call which taught him that people are not easily written off.

- Donovan Palmer says we can choose to have a happy heart, this was an encourgement to me yesterday.

- An Island 600 miles from the north pole is getting the sun back, I felt just like this a few weeks ago, at the height of winter here I arrived at work in the dark and left in the dark, its not a nice way to live. HT: Jesus Creed

- Trevin Wax has a good quote from spurgeon which encourages you to read books!

- Tyler Kenning paints a great picture through a scene in LOTR about heaven at the Desiring God Blog

- US iPhone users now have the option for an unlimited calling plan for £60 per month

- Some NT manuscripts have turned up in a National Archive in Albania

- The TSA think macbook air is a fake laptop, causing people to miss their flights! Thats one to tell the grandkids.

- Shawn Blanc bought a new macbook pro and its so good it made him sell his Mac Pro desktop! Shawn gives it pretty much as full a run down as you’d want and leaves me salivating for a macbook pro, wonder if they’ll ever bring back a 12" again.

- Lifehacker have made a good howto on how to remotely access your mac from any other, Its just a VNC for those who know

- Desiring God have just noted that all the audio for Resurgence is now online, if youre a commuter like me then you may like to download it onto an iPod and reclaim your driving time!

- Trevin Wax writes a good review on Vintage Jesus which makes me want to read it before it becomes, in his words: "its eventual relegation to the Bargain Book section of Christian bookstores. Imagine picking up a book from the 1970’s that talked about how “groovy” Jesus’ disciples were."

- Zach Neilson ministers to Jesus while he is in hospital.

    Have to say, I’m impressed that you have the time and patience to read so much. I tend to skim the blogs that I know, and only read the posts which I find interesting and aren’t too lengthy (I have the attention span of a goldfish).

    Laura, I have found RSS reader like Google Reader and News Net Wire to be a great help in ‘covering alot of ground’ so to speak, in the blogosphere!
