Yesterday<\/a> I blogged about the apocryphal book 1 Esdras. \u00a0 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<\/a> honoring John MacArthur (1 Esdras 4:38). \u00a0 I guess I’m not the only one reading the Apocrypha!<\/p>\n

I mentioned before how surprised I was at some elementary errors made by Dan Brown in the DaVinci Code. \u00a0 Here is a list of 50 mistakes<\/a> from his three books. \u00a0 As you ‘ll see, you can’t even trust his directions.<\/p>\n

If you ‘re a student with an edu email address, you can upgrade to Windows 7 for $29<\/a>. \u00a0 If you ‘re thinking about upgrading from XP, don’t. (Buy a new computer instead.) \u00a0 The upgrade might be worthwhile for computers with Vista.<\/p>\n

This guy can multiply numbers in his head like you wouldn’t believe<\/a>. \u00a0 Then he tells you how he did it.<\/p>\n

If you were wondering what to get me for Christmas, this is it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BTW, if you remember that commentary on 1 Kings<\/a> that I wanted but was unwilling to spend $2,736.18 for, I see that it’s now available new at A1Books<\/a> for $43. \u00a0 The reason I know that is because I installed the Invisible Hand<\/a> add-on for Firefox and when I looked at the book (now back in print) at Amazon<\/a> for $65, it alerted me to this lower price. \u00a0 Yet another reason to use Firefox.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (10\/3): A big thumbs-down to A1Books for taking my order and then permanently canceling it for being out of stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
