Is the Bible we have today the same Bible from 1900 years ago?

Posted Tue, 06/17/2008 - 6:48am by shrop

The accuracy (or alleged inaccuracy) of the Bible is often a topic brought up by non-believers. Let's face it, if the Bible isn't accurate, how can one believe. I found this comparison between ancient texts to be very interesting. Thanks to http://twitter.com/mxbx for publishing on his blog.

WWDC Keynote Thoughts

Posted Tue, 06/10/2008 - 5:54am by shrop

I was jazzed about the WWDC Keynote before it started yesterday. I was all setup with twitter, ichat, plurk, macrumors, engadget, ustream audio, etc. The live ustream audio feed was very helpful. Thanks to my friends for pointing me to that link. I will catch the full video tonight on my AppleTV so I can get the full experience.
