I put the Dalai Bama image on a few t-shirts and mugs here. I am not sure, but I think Frank Turk made his millions this way.
Not the Kind of Pic Usually Seen at This Blog
My daughter Bekah offers a timely reminder of the kind of thing that can happen on a playground, starting next week sometime.
The Walnut of Doom
I just recently realized that we still have some copies Right Behind around here, and what’s with that? Unfortunately we don’t have any more copies of Supergeddon (“A Really Big Geddon”), but we do have some copies of, as I mentioned, Right Behind. What is that? you wonder. Is it connected at all to the …
100 Lager
100 Cupboards is being translated into a passle of languages, as I believe I already informed you. I think the Danes are first with 100 Lager. This very nice review below appeared in Denmark, and was written by one Christina Andersen. I am sure the, um, quaint turns of phrase here are actually a feature …
Can’t Tell the Players Without a Scorecard
Over the next few months, you will hear a goodish bit about all of these, four small books which have been the result of debating-the-atheists jag.

One was Summer Sanctus, a montage of which is below. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have two separate …
UK Rapid
One of the cool features of Google Analytics is that I get to look at what countries contribute visits and hits to this blog, and I have to say that I have been very pleased with the UK. Their June visits worked out to 1,635, just behind Canada. Anyhow, we have a lot of friends …
The Fruitfulness of Plodding
A question I frequently get, and which I am generally reluctant to answer, is a question about time management. How do I get everything done? I don’t like to answer this for three reasons. First, I don’t get everything done. The done stuff is visible enough, but the undone stuff is sitting on my desk, …
Ad Copy from the Nether Gloom
We are really looking forward to the release in book form of my debate with Christopher Hitchens on the topic “Is Christianity Good for the World?” The release date is September 2, and you can get the book from Canon, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon. The image below is the ad from the back cover …
