Links for September 17th
- sex wednesdays begin! | Jesus Needs New PR
- Matthew Paul Turner has a guest post on things men need to know about sex with their wives. And seriously: most men don't know about these things, or they don't care. It is LIBERATING to have equality between the sexes, and this DOES include sex as much as it does anything else. Sex is too often the last thing a feminist realizes that she deserves to enjoy just as much as a man, and thus the stereotypes continue.
- ladies: stuff about your husband | Jesus Needs New PR
- While I don't think there are as many men who endure the selfishness or ignorance of their partners as there are women, this one from a couple of months ago offers some great information all the same.
Links for September 16th
- Bruce Lawson’s personal site : Future of Web Design, Glasgow
- Some amazing examples of the future of HTML5, especially smart forms. The forms can best be viewed in Opera, though there are some that work nicely in Safari too. I can't imagine how wonderful it will be to stop worrying about JavaScript for this kind of stuff. I wonder if will negate some serverside validation as well?
- Why New Atheism Thrives | missio dei
- Perceptive thoughts on why New Atheism is doing so well. We need to get this. We didn't get it when Barth and Bonhoeffer tried to teach us, and most of us don't get it now, but it is necessary.
- Capitalism chews over fair trade | Life and style | guardian.co.uk
- "Fairtrade accreditation is the current big thing for the major food companies, but fair's not always fair. What big corp fair trade products are greenwash and which should we be buying?"

- Help charity:water give clean water to its first million people. See a bigger story.

- Blue Christian on a Red Background: President Obama, Health Care, Abortion, and the Right's Credibility Gap
- Great post from Jon Trott on Obama's promise that abortion dollars will not be in the healthcare plan. But more importantly, the post examines the consistent ethic of life that is lacking on both sides.
- Postmodern Apologetics in a Post-Postmodern Time? « zoecarnate
- Mike Morrell examines the future of apologetics, and also examines what we might call the age where we currently find ourselves, if it is no longer "postmodern." I'm not convinced that we need to create a new name yet, and he doesn't seem to be either, but these are fascinating thoughts.
