If you have not been reading this blog for long, and perhaps “reading” is an insufficient word here, perhaps you are confused whether it is a photo blog or a poetry blog or blog presenting prose pieces. The answer to this question is “Yes.” It is clear that photography takes up most of its real [...]

On Discovering Charles Williams
Posted in Church Life and Theology, Literature and Language, tagged charles williams, Christianity, descent into hell, inklings, quote, resurrection, resurrection of the body on Monday, May 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I am not entirely sure why I have not read Charles Williams up until this point–perhaps because he is difficult–but tonight I read the first few chapters of Descent Into Hell and am ruing the fact I have not read him heretofore. Here is a passage on the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, [...]

Well, this new version of The Dassler Effect has had a more promising start than I could have imagined. And yet its previous incarnation was no slouch either (it still shows up first on Google). Because it was around for longer, it has far more more photos on it than the current blog and there [...]
Oh to be a Donkey Librarian!
Posted in Library Stuff, Literature and Language, tagged amazon, bbc, bbc news, books, camels, donkeys, ethiopia, kenya, libraries, library, reading, thankfulness on Thursday, January 8, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Of course, taking care of a donkey and getting it to go, I am sure, is rather difficult work, even if I have always rather had a fondness for the beasts, especially Puzzle of Narnia. And baby donkeys? Well, I cannot begin to describe their cuteness. However, I digress. This story is really quite cool, [...]
On Epiphany
Posted in Art Thief, Church Life and Theology, Literature and Language, tagged christmas, epiphany, photography, wise men on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »

There were times we regretted The summer palaces on [...]

Posted in Literature and Language, tagged dictionaries, fonts, helvetica, language, words on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The quote in the title is what Hamlet answers Polonius, I believe, when he asks him what he is reading. If you are a word-lover, both of what they mean and how they are displayed, then these two stories from the BBC might be of interest. First is the story of a man who read [...]
