Using Google Reader Offline

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Do you use Google Reader as your RSS feed reader? You should because not only is it fantastic online, but a humdinger offline. It took me a while to figure how to access the reader through my browser (Firefox) once offline, but now that I know I wanted to pass it along. I had been [...]

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Look no further than 1 Corinthians 15:19 for proof that you should never read a Bible verse:
If in this life we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
