• The Army has announced its Top 10 Inventions of 2007. It's an interesting mix of weapons, vehicles, systems, and even a medical procedure. Click here to read the list, as well as inventions from 2006 and 2005.
• I'm in the process of planning my longest sermon series ever. It's episodic instead of serial, i.e. they're not directly connected to each other, which should help keep it interesting. In fact, I'm rather excited, each sermon is different and unique but they're all connected – it's cool and intriguing. I'll post some more info about it when I'm finished over on the church blog.
  
• Richard Branson has revealed his new White Knight 2, the mothership that will launch his new commercial spacecraft into space. The White Knight 2 is quite a bit different than the first White Knight, though they both are bizarre looking aircraft. It'll only cost you $200,000 to get launched into sub-orbital space, coming to you in 2010.
  
• Did you hear that Rush Limbaugh might want to buy the St. Louis Rams? He probably doesn't have the money and the team isn't selling right now anyway, but what an interesting prospect. This Friday is Limbaugh's 20th Anniversary of his show.
• You must read this editorial on Obama. What does he mean when he speaks of "economic justice"? He means radical, sweeping socialism. A complete re-engineering of America. That's the quasi-marxist change he believes in. Mercy me. I'm about this far from writing an epic rebuttal of the whole Obamanation phenomena.
