Firefox 3.5 is Faster, Slicker, and Ready to Download
The latest version of Firefox is ready for download, and it will be worth the time.
There is a lot to love about the new release, but perhaps the most important improvement is speed. Speed matters now more than ever. We’re not talking about download speeds here, but more important things like application speed—how fast your [...]

Lawsuit against Zotero Dismissed
Good news! The lawsuit filed against the developers of Zotero (which I wrote about here) by the makers of EndNote has been dismissed. There are few details as yet–like whether or not the suit will be refiled–but hopefully this is a sign of things to come. From ArsTechnica:
Thomson Reuters, which makes EndNote, an academic reference [...]
Exegetical Insight: Luke 8:10
Every once-and-a-while I have an edifying experience in the course of grading. It’s rare, but it happens.

Exegetical Insight, Lost Edition
Though perhaps not as significant as yesterday’s exegetical insight, I put myself to the task of translating Jacob’s tapestry from last night’s lost (that pause button is wonderful, isn’t it!).
So here goes. First I transcribed it into miniscules:
θεοι τοσα δοιεν οσα φρεσι σησι μενοινας
So it’s two clauses:
θεοι τοσα δοιεν
οσα φρεσι σησι μενοινας
The latter clause is [...]
