The Tea Partiers Are Half Right →

I suggest that the sense of the tea partiers that they have been had is largely a valid one. At the same time, their ideas of what ought to be done are very much off the mark.

'Sugarbabe' Favors 'Negotiated Infidelity' →

This is currently one of the most-read stories on CNN.

While this might be biologically true, this article just goes to show that the vows of marriage are meaningless to so many people. Men are called to sacrifice their desires for their wife:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.
- Ephesians 5:25

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
