Thanks to Will for alerting me to this wonderful site created by the guys at Portland Studios. It’s a microsite for a “new” book by John Piper. They’ve taken Piper’s poem about Job and turned it into a painfully beautiful book illustrated by Chris Koelle.
…and so I add yet another thing to my long wishlist of books I can’t afford…
Back in my college days, when I first had access to the internet and started poking around on NASA’s then-new collection of freely available Hubble Satellite photos, my interest was first piqued in science. What I saw started a love affair with astronomy in particular, and science in general. The kinds of pictures I saw, and the numbers they were quoting for the size of some of these stars and galaxies and distances between them just blew my mind.
Several years have passed, and I’d like to think my appreciation of those images, facts, and figures has matured even further. And it’s in that spirit that I’d love to show you some things that I think will blow your mind.
If you’ve ever wished presidential races could be won simply by desire, then head on over to presidentialprizefight.com and battle it out as John McCain or Barack Obama. Winning bouts racks up votes for the Republicans or Democrats in an attempt to win over the electoral representation of that state.
It’s somewhat addictive, so beware.
