- "Stats are cool and all but only when they don’t break the experience for your users." – AGREED!
- Political Animal – Why People Go To Law School
- Agreed. Too many students choose a path based on the wrong way to reach goals they don’t really want to achieve anyway.
- Why the Church has a Shortage of Leaders : What’s Best Next
- I agree that we must recover the doctrine of vocation. The church is too pre-occupied with itself and its subculture.
- The Evangelical Rejection of Reason – NYTimes.com
- Many Christians were really upset when this article was published. I know many of them see the logic as circular, but that is simply because they are afraid of what science will teach them. I have issues with Dobson, but I wouldn’t put him in the same camp as Ken Ham or David Barton. Otherwise, I agree with this article entirely.
- ‘A Test You Need to Fail’: A Teacher’s Open Letter to Her 8th Grade Students | Common Dreams
- Excellent! We are absolutely testing for the wrong things. Student are taught to play a game, to fill in the circles, to meet all the requirements. Doing original, creative work is not rewarded.

Linkbait – you pull the reader in with a title about the hoodie and a few paragraphs about how you agree with Rivera, but the remainder of the article is about something else entirely. </dd>
- Mitt Romney can’t shake away impressions he’s made – The Washington Post
- "In an attempt to foreclose even the remote possibility of a contested convention, the Romney campaign has been trotting out a bevy of prominent Republicans to announce their support. But is it just me, or do these endorsements have all the enthusiasm of a series of hostage tapes?"</p>
</dd>- Daydreaming like a Missionary | Ordinary Pastor
- "In other words day dreaming is often musings upon what it would be like if God were not God and I was."</p>
I never really thought about daydreaming like this, but I guess that’s what it is – mostly.</dd>
