I wasn’t a big user of Groklaw, but they were definitely a good organization for the information technology field to have available. This is disheartening, though I understand where Ms. Jones is coming from.

Christian Knowledge • Topic 2: Practice What You Preach : Apologetics Training – Course 1

I think this article hits it spot on in a lot of ways, and is a good goal for any Christian – or any human for that matter.  It’s certainly not easy; even “possible” is questionable given our fallen nature.  The series/course would be an interesting read given the time.

I was reminded this morning, while reading some of James Altucher‘s very interesting posts and wanting to add to my subscription list, that I’m eventually going to need to do something to replace Google Reader as my feed reader.  This might be an interesting way to do so.  The Android client is a plus.  I’ll have to add it to my project list.

Edit 6/18/13: Also ran across https://www.commafeed.com/welcome today, which does not look bad, but I still have some inclination towards tt-rss at this time.
