Bill Russell and Kevin Garnett (2)
This is really cool - I’m still pulling for the Cavs, but to hear someone like Russell talk about Garnett like that… lots of people win championships. This would almost be better.

Inmate Count in US Dwarfs Other Nations’ (0)
From the New York Times:
The United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population. But it has almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners.
…
The United States comes in first, too, on a more meaningful list from the prison studies center, the one ranked in order of the incarceration rates. It has 751 people [...]

Evernote (3)
My buddy Mike pointed me to Evernote yesterday. While the clipping service is neat, I think the image recognition stuff will be what I really fall in love with.
For years I’ve carried all my notes around in Moleskine notebooks. While I’ve recently started reviewing my recent notes for action items I can put into my [...]

NASA says we’re in a climate crisis (2)
The major obstacle to saving the planet from its inhabitants is not technology, insisted Hansen, named one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2006 by Time magazine.

“What’s become clear [...]
Christian scholarship (0)
The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything [...]

No Links Please! (0)
Removing every link on every page (outside of Google) seems like a pretty rash way to get control of your time and attention. But if you’re the kind of person who wastes a ton of time online, extreme measures may be in order. (via)
