The Washington Post has a story on extreme tracking devices that are coming for “ordinary people to ‘quantify’ themselves using wearable fitness gadgets, medical equipment, headcams, traditional lab tests and homemade contraptions, all with the goal of finding ways to optimize their bodies and minds to live longer, healthier lives — and perhaps to discover some important truth […]
Christian recording artist Amy Grant is joining forces with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to push birth control and contraceptives in developing nations.

In a piece over at The Watchman’s Bagpipes, Glenn E. Chatfield takes on the producer of a video, an atheist, who hoped to undermine the Creation account in the Bible. A fellow blogger referred me to this video and asked me if I could refute it on my blog, bearing in mind that it should be understood by […]
