“Obama literalists may read back chapter and verse on his policy initiatives, but let’s be real here. Those aren’t the reasons for his success. Morover, they were never intended to be the underpinnings of the Obama candidacy.”

“Let’s be honest. Barack Obama is not on the verge of clinching the Democratic nomination because of his policy positions–whatever his most evangelical supporters might tell you.”

Still 2 years from release, a massively multiplayer online game where everything is LEGO. Targeted at 8-12 year-olds, but plenty of adults who grew up with LEGOs, including yours truly, are more excited about the game at this point.

Andy’s review of the Drobo backup mechanism is the kind of tech review I can get my wife to read. (And I hope she’ll read it, as I think this is our solution for a home network backup system.)

We love the Heroes-style figures in our home, and this line-up threatens to send me over the edge. Sail Barge Leia, Gree, Shaak Ti, Ewoks, the Millenium Falcon, AT-RT, Vader’s TIE Fighter, a Sandtrooper on a Dewback!

Indiana Jones comes to the Mighty Muggs line. Yes!
[A]nother way I’m convinced He exists and loves us — on the most base of levels — is that He hasn’t simply wiped us off the face of the earth. I don’t struggle with the whole “why does God let bad things happen” — that’s simple to dismiss, and maybe I will here one day. What I’m getting at is that He has such enormous self-control — if I were Him, there would only be a scant few humans left on the planet.
It’s one of two things: He loves as much as He says He does, or He doesn’t give a rat’s behind about us. With much thanks I know wholeheartedly that the latter isn’t true, so once again I’m amazed at how patient God is with us, and how He loves us, though we pain Him so.
