I love Google Reader...Except One Glitch

I use Google Reader as my RSS feed reader. I love everything about the little app except for one glitch:

If I open a feed in a new window in Firefox (to view the graphics in the feed or for whatever reason), once I return to Google Reader and use the keyboard shortcut to move to the next feed in the list and the enter key to expand it's panel, it opens the previously viewed feed in another Firefox tab.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? I'd love to know! I'd love for the folks at Google to fix the bug!

Lance Armstrong's Time Trial Bike Stolen

I just heard from Lance Armstrong (@lancearmstrong) via Twitter that someone broke into their truck at the Tour of California last night and stole his time trial bike. Here is a picture of it: http://twitpic.com/1i8t1

It's the only one like it in the world, so it's not going to get very far...but if you happen to be in California and you happen to read this, turn the bad guys in and get yourself a reward!

Good luck Lance!

Remembering Bliss

I hate that feeling that you get when you know there's something that you need to do, but you can't remember what it is that needs to be done. It's nearly as bad as when you were going to say something to somebody, but as soon as you're in front of them, you can't remember what it was you were going to tell them.

I do, however, love the inverse of that forgetfulness. That moment when it comes to you...when you remember what it was that you forgot. It's a little bitty moment of bliss. It's almost worth forgetting something, just so you can have that brief moment of remembering bliss.

I think I'm going to throw away my PDA and my task list, just so I can have those moments over and over again all day long! OK...just joking...let's not get carried away here.

Good Art

I'm a big fan of really, really good art. I think it honors our Creator - the original artist.

Watching the Grammy's last night, I saw some good art (like this, and this).

Some dismiss good art because the message that the art is bringing doesn't match up with their beliefs. I'm conflicted on this issue. Is it possible to appreciate, even embrace, the art while not necessarily endorsing the message? Or, do we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater?

Is it possible for God to redeem bad messages in beautiful art?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. If you know of any really, really good art - send it my way!
