I don’t think I’ve done one of these yet, or recently at any rate. So here’s a Wordle for this blog: So, what conclusions can one draw from the word frequency? I’ll leave that to a brave commenter. J
The faith of Christ is the faith of the common man. An intellectual has to overcome his own precious precociousness to understand it. Even those who mock the faith by calling it a “meme” pay homage to its enduring power and infinite appeal. It is a model that explains as much of the universe as …
With the exception of numerous jokey references to the gravel tones of the ubiquitous voice over man, I don’t think film trailers get much love in comparison to the rest of the cinematic offering. Saul Bass worked wonders over the opening credits, Drew Struzan distills the heart of the story into a one-sheet poster, and …
Having imposed myself on the World-Wide Web for over fifteen years now, I should really know that trying to inject facts into a heated debate is folly.

My initial plan for my last post of 2009 — technically now the first post of 2010 according to the clock on my tool-bar — was to craft a witty pastiche of the annual Christmas Letter beloved of many, but I’ve decided not. There wasn’t going to be much mileage in a parody that hung …
School Sports Days. What a source of conflicting emotions even when viewed from over two decades away. While the prospect of not being in class during the 90 minutes of sun that constituted a Scottish summer, the spectre of Not Very Good At Sports cast a long shadow over events. Benefits of physical education aside, …
