Encouragement and counsel for you in your marriage
Sanctification In Marriage by Matt Chandler
Matt Chandler talks about what the bible says about marriage and applies it directly to your life. He follows the text in 1 Peter chapter 3 in dealing first with wives, and then dealing with husbands. If you hear him out, I think you will have learned something valuable about how to do marriage well. I think every Christian who's married, or considering marriage, should hear this.

Google Buzzkill - no support for Google apps... yet
Most new, cool, viral social networking things are easy to sign up to.
Email address, password, done.
Google Buzz could be the most awesome thing ever, but neither Google Profiles nor Google Buzz work with Google Apps accounts - which is where I have email. Having a separate non-apps-account for a bunch of Google's products has worked well for me so far, because there's very little useful crossover between, say, Google Reader and Google Docs. That isn't so for Buzz. Buzz works in Gmail, but gets its juice from other Google tools that, for me, are on a separate account.
So I'll have to wait, and hope that Google enables all (or most of) their products to work with Google Apps. I think I'll be waiting quite a while. I'm guessing 2 months till I get the first sniff of Buzz (can I say that?), then anywhere between a year and never for full integration.

The Path - sermon series by Matt Chandler on everything the church assumes you already know
This is awesome. I'm listening to this on my journeys to and from work on my mp3 player, and learning so much.
Here's a link to The Village Church sermon archive. The link should select just that sermon series. I'm listening to "The Art of Prayer" at the moment.
- The Authoritative Word: Reading the bible
- A Continuing Ethic: Confession and repentance
- The Art of Remembrance: Communion and so on
- The Art of Prayer: Chandler talks about why we should pray, if God is sovereign; outside of time. Most interesting.
- Gospel Community: Community and service
- A Change in Perspective: Life structure and direction
- Sanctification in Marriage
- Generosity
- Sabbath
- A Review and a Little More
- The Reign and Rule of God

Asus laptops are more reliable than Acer
Report by Squaretrade shows Asus and Toshiba top of the reliability-pile. Dell's in the middle, and HP is in the doghouse, with one in four laptops malfunctioning within three years.
Mind you, Asus' failure rate is 15% (over three years) which I thought was shockingly high. Just shows how little I know about these things.

Ankylosing Spondylitis genetic research
The study, published in Nature Genetics, found six regions of the genome that were associated with AS - the two strongest associations were with genes called ERAP1 and IL23R.

More to do with understanding the disease than curing it, but I'm not complaining - horse before cart.

3 ways to not scare people when you walk past them late at night in a bad neighborhood. - 22 Words
3 ways to not scare people when you walk past them late at night in a bad neighborhood.
1. Whistle. This shows you’re somewhat happy, which muggers aren’t.
2. Skip. Muggers furtively trudge.
3. Carry a tobacco pipe. Tobacco, not crack or lead.
Don't read "22 words" yet? Have a look - you might like it, and if you don't, you've only wasted about 15 seconds.
