The Problem With Going Green — Most people just ignore the green movement. David Owen calls it selfish and misguided. Maybe the best exposure of sin written by a non-Christian. Tim Challies has some great comments on it here.
Why French Parents Are Superior — This article is making some waves, but not because the author has an axe to grind. Check out why French parents are better than us.
Coffer, This Must Be The Place — a short film about Coffer, a man living (mostly) an 18th century lifestyle.
Can I See Your Body Of Work? — Degrees and previous jobs are starting to matter less and ‘body of work’ is mattering more. Which one are you more concerned about?
Shakespear’s The Three Little Pigs — John Branyan has figured out what the Three Little Pigs would sound like if it was written by Shakespear. I couldn’t stop laughing!

The going green article is interesting. Few people seem to consider that consumption is consumption, regardless of how much you “use” on the back end.
It could probably be argued that keeping my current car (a 2002 Mazda) is actually better than buying a new “fuel-efficient” vehicle. The fact is, the car I have is perfectly functional. It doesn’t have any major problems that require constant repairs and it gets me from place to place.
If I went out to buy a new Prius, I’d be buying a Prius just for the sake of buying it. My old car could be sold to someone else (who would likely keep driving it) or it could be junked. Neither of those solutions is going to make any kind of impact on the environment.
But I do get a new car and an opportunity to brag about how I’m saving the world, so at least that’s something.
