10 Things Not to Say
Here are ten things not to say in the final weeks of pregnancy (HT: Amy).

John Adams: The Film
This HBO mini-series looks excellent. It’s a film adaptation of McCullough’s biography of John Adams. It’s coming this March (and will hopefully make it to DVD not too long after).

Bible.org Redesigned
Bible.org, a site filled with excellent resources, has recently undergone a very nice redesign.

Go to the Ant
On YouTube is a remarkable video from the Science Channel showing an expansive ant colony and describing the work it took to make it.

Help Tullian
Tullian is posting excerpts of the book he’s working on and is looking for outside input.

These are strange days in Canada. The incoming President of the United States has suddenly promised to slap a 25% tariff on cross-border trade—a tariff that has the potential to devastate the Canadian economy.

Thoughts on Digital Libraries in 2025

Do I have a library made up of thousands of books or do I have a library made up of a couple dozen? I suppose it depends on what you count as a book. It has been many years—at least 15, I think—since I decided to go all-in with ebooks, a decision I have stuck…
