"Progressive Revelation" is one of those concepts I don't believe I ever heard until I became a member of a Reformed Church. However, I think most Christians probably believe it, to at least some extent, even if they don't ever use the term or talk about it. The concept of "progressive revelation" is that God has revealed more and more things ( Read more... )

For the first entry in my history of "sports cars", I'd like to quickly cover the topic of semanticsWhen it comes to car "types", the definitions of the various terms are as contentious as those of musical genres. (e.g., "No, that's not 'hard rock', it's 'progressive metal'!") Anyone who has ever spent time discussing music on message boards ( Read more... )

Yes, I like sports cars. I have since I was a little kid. I think sports cars (especially exotic sports cars) are to many children a lot like superheroes. We see them extolled in media from a very young age, and many of our earliest toys, posters, cartoons, movies, TV shows involve them. Just like many kids have a box full of action figures, ( Read more... )

Like most people, I enjoy good pop and rock music. But if you've known me for a while, you'll also know that I'm an avid fan of two other less popular styles of music: jazz and electronic music. For a long time, though, I've had bad luck finding newer electronica/techno/rave recordings that I really got into. However, lately I've actually found ( Read more... )

Call me crazy, but I'm siding with Hellmann's on this one. "Sandwich spread" products without eggs are not mayo! I'm tired of all these weird imitation products claiming to be something they're not. Blech!

Hellmann's vs "Just Mayo"

Everybody these days seems to be on the so-called "Autism Spectrum". It drives me crazy to see how anyone who has ever felt socially-awkward seems to need to explain it by saying they might be a little autistic. I know people who are truly autistic, and it is nothing like the various celebrities who are getting labeled autistic these days. It ( Read more... )

Apparently there's a new college in my town, and it's name is (believe it or not) "Gather 4 Him". It sounds like the name of a contemporary praise and worship band, but it is literally the actual official name of this accredited liberal arts college ( Read more... )

The car industry interests me for a lot of reasons, but it has an interesting artifact that I think differentiates it from most other industries. Most of us own cars, but only a minority of us actually buy new cars. This means that most of the cars that get manufactured aren't necessarily designed and sold for the majority of people who actually ( Read more... )

A lot of people love video games, but very few people decide they want to attempt to make their own. I was one of those kids who always wanted to make the things they love (be it comic books, sci-fi stories, movies, toys, songs, etc.) When my dad taught me the basics of computer programming, I immediately wanted to start to make my own simple " ( Read more... )

I thought of an interesting design project that I'm curious if anyone has attempted before. You've probably heard about homes in which people have tried to live off the grid, with little-to-no electric devices. These often seem to be some kind of dusty cabin in the woods, or something of that nature ( Read more... )
