September 30

Yesterday I blogged about the apocryphal book 1 Esdras.   Perhaps I should have noted that this book is the only place in the Bible/Apocrypha that contains the phrase “truth endures,” the title of the new book honoring John MacArthur (1 Esdras 4:38).   I guess I’m not the only one reading the Apocrypha!

I mentioned before how surprised I was at some elementary errors made by Dan Brown in the DaVinci Code.   Here is a list of 50 mistakes from his three books.   As you ‘ll see, you can’t even trust his directions.

If you ‘re a student with an edu email address, you can upgrade to Windows 7 for $29.   If you ‘re thinking about upgrading from XP, don’t. (Buy a new computer instead.)   The upgrade might be worthwhile for computers with Vista.

This guy can multiply numbers in his head like you wouldn’t believe.   Then he tells you how he did it.

If you were wondering what to get me for Christmas, this is it.

BTW, if you remember that commentary on 1 Kings that I wanted but was unwilling to spend $2,736.18 for, I see that it’s now available new at A1Books for $43.   The reason I know that is because I installed the Invisible Hand add-on for Firefox and when I looked at the book (now back in print) at Amazon for $65, it alerted me to this lower price.   Yet another reason to use Firefox.

UPDATE (10/3): A big thumbs-down to A1Books for taking my order and then permanently canceling it for being out of stock.
