* Also from DRB, a very cool photo set of airplanes and their contrails. The first two pictures in particular are great, something you see on a daily basis but never ever up close.* TSK has a very interesting and well worded bunch of thoughts about offensive language. He argues (among other things) that pre-modern offensive words were excommunicatory in nature, modern offensive words were largely centered around bodily function, and post-modern offensive language is exclusionary or derogative in nature. Lots more thoughts on this issue, maybe I'll devote a post to it.
* Geekdad recently linked to a comic book store in Toronto that has an incredibly cool front window display of the battle of Helm's Deep recreated with Muppet characters. What's not to love?
* Heard on NPR the other day about an ambidextrous pitcher currently playing college ball. Yes, both of those pictures are of the same guy. He has a custom-made two-thumbed glove that allows him to switch hands from batter to batter. Wow.* Didn't really expect this, but apparently I'm a Wesleyan. (Via Wess, who isn't.)

What's your theological worldview?
You scored as a Emergent/Postmodern
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Right there with you, Jed. Though I have to confess that there were several questions I did not understand, or that I thought were overly simplified and unanswerable as such. I stuck most of those with the middle-of-the-road answer.
