Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Evangelicals Question the Existence of Adam and Eve
NPR highlights this growing issue with a great 7-minute bit. Great points from both sides. (sidenote: this story makes the issue sound a little more recent than it really is. It’s more like NPR finally heard about the controversy)
I love this song.
I think this fits Lauren Maus’ style quite well. I would be convinced it was hers if she wasn’t so busy designing silly websites and getting ready for lifelong commitments. Lame-o.
When Patents Attack
Does our current patent system actually discourage innovation? I do hate trolls. Listen to this story and hear some of Son Lux’s lovely music in the background.

Domesticated foxes all on their lonesome waitin’ for me to take ‘em home.
whit snippet: Sin of the City
Sin of the City
I hurt people
I hurt people that I love and despise alike
I fail to see them as human, but as happiness factories out of order
My happiness and success are my primary concerns
Inconvenience is the sin of the city
Impatience is its virtue
Don’t get in my way—-don’t step on my heels—-don’t make me miss my train
I see glares and indignant eyes at each trivial trespass—
One moment I am the lawbreaker, the next I am the offended
In each small exchange you become less human to me

Impose upon me the plight of my people
Trouble my days with seen and unseen inconveniences
Burden my heart for the people You delight in and grieve over alike
Disturb me into action on behalf of humanity
God, you embrace the inconvenience of being my God
Make me like You,
My God and my inconvenienced lover
