Did I mention that I've launched a photo-blog by the name of Imago Articulus? ########## Joe Carter is looking for a career change and is considering writing; but he may have overlooked the complex (irreducibly?) field of plumbing... in today's Outtakes he clues us in to a parable* written by atheist scientist P. Z. Myers in which Myers uses a story of broken faucet "to illustrate the absurdity of intelligent design arguments." Must've been taken from the Roto-Rooterology department. * parables from the science department? What's next... apocryphal writings? ########## Dave, over at Welcome to the Planet, has a post titled, old dudes in the self-check out stands and emerging worship. Dave likes going through self-checkout registers and, in a perverse sort of way, he enjoys watching old dudes get frustrated when they attempt to perform a self-checkout. Where it gets messy, though, is when the old dudes attempt to prevent the new styles from emerging. How about that for a segue into the atlernative worship styles of the "emerging church"? While Dave's tastes in styles of worship may diverge from the more traditional, he'll make sure that doctrine does not suffer. ########## Speaking of worship styles, check S. M. Hutchens response to earlier commentaries he made on the aspect of attractive worship. ########## Speaking of self-checkout registers and attractive worship, check Mark Roberts series on Happiness, especially his post If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands. ########## Speaking of self-checkout registers and old dudes being frustrated with new technology, check Surprise: Parents more Web-savvy: New Nielsen study says teens bored quickly, frustrated easily online, per CNN.
