Wired Reaches For The Moon

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:13:11 PDT
Wired Editor Chris Anderson spoke to Jon Friedman from MarketWatch. His words have meaning for anyone directly involved with managing a brand today. "The mission of this magazine is the same as it was in 1993 when it was founded," he told me. "We're NOT about technology -- we're about how technology is changing the world." He explained that Wired has two objectives for all of its stories: "Amaze us, and tell us something we've never seen before, in a way we've never seen before." Anderson bluntl

Run Rates and Base Moods: Ellsbury's a Happy Guy, Schneider's Not.

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:15:44 PDT
Earlier today, my brother said to me, "Look at Rickie Weeks, he has more runs than hits! When was the last time someone this far into the season had more runs than hits?" I didn't have to go back at all to find the answer. This year, Jacoby Ellsbury has 19 runs and only 16 hits. Interestingly enough, teammate Dustin Pedroia has the second most hits in the league (32) yet he only has 13 runs. The two guys who hit in front of Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have very different scoring ratios. How w

How Much Gas Can an Ounce of Gold Buy?

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:21:04 PDT
For quite a while, I’ve been wanting to put together a chart examining the cost of gas in terms of something harder than the U.S. Dollar…but I’ve never gotten around to tracking down the hard data myself. So, I was pleased to see that Rick Powell posted the average price in US Dollars of a gallon of gas and an ounce of gold at the start of each year from 1998 through 2008 in a discussion on oil prices on misc.transport.road. Raw data like that can be used to make an interesting-looking chart

Family Driven Faith

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:30:08 PDT
It’s ironic that within the evangelical church — a people who by and large claim their ultimate authority to be Scripture alone — it is tradition that is often the most difficult thing to change. Voddie T. Baucham Jr.’s book, Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God (Crossway Books, 2007) challenges many of our extra-biblical traditions with a tough but winsome approach. Instead of cultivating the latest ecclesiastical trends, Baucham takes a refr

Sign #12 the world will end soon.

No, not the asteroid. Rather, a book to help children understand why mommy got herself a boob job, tummy tuck, and nose job. "You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better." I am, in fact quoting. Seriously. Judy Blume (if she were in fact dead) would be spinning in her grave fast enough to start a fire. As she's alive, she's probably just nauseated. hat-tip: Boing Boing and Rudy Jahchan C
