This is a writing kind of day. I’ve got a blog post to write, plus a couple of magazine articles, plus a couple of assignments for a course I’m taking. Plus a few other things. Caffeine will be my near-constant companion.

Remembering Linsi – A great read: “On 9 February 2011 Dr Robert Stanley Lindsay went to be with the Lord, aged 83. Dr Steve Lee, who served at Kapsowar Hospital, looks back at Dr Lindsay’s service with AIM and the lasting impact of his work.”

You can get 15% off your entire order when you spend $40 or more (before shipping). Enter the coupon code “CHALLIES15” during checkout. Offer valid until April 15, 2011.

@ True Woman – I was recently interviewed by Paula Hendricks of True Woman on issues related to technology, and specifically as they pertain to women.

Turco – I’m not much of a hockey fan, but I enjoyed this story.

—Matthew Henry
