Sunday Seven

  1. ATMs (Automatic Tithing Machines) at church. Sure it sounds crazy. But church is one of the last three or four places where I still pay (er, give) by check. We need new methods. From Out of Ur.
  2. The man who saved the world by doing nothing. 23 years ago last week, Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov decided NOT to launch Soviet missiles against the U. S., though he had good reason to. From Wired.
  3. Seventies design. Cars, clothes, furniture and other 70s goodness. Via Signal vs. Noise.
  4. Everyone needs a place to belong. For a select few, the place is Gym Jones, an invitation-only, no frills gym (with a great name) for the toughest of the tough. The main page description is worth reading and may make you wish you could join. Which you can’t.
  5. Emoticons turn 25. The digital smiley-face :) actually has an inventor and a birthdate. ROFL. From Wired.
  6. Panoramic views are so cool, and here’s a collection of them from around the world. From ViewAT.org via eHub.
  7. A new record for the marathon. 2:04:26, or 4:45 per mile for 26.2 miles! From ESPN.
