Some fun links flying around in today's POC Bundle

Bible Translations

A new format for the ESV. Also, I hear the official ESV Study Bible is slated for the fall...I know many have been waiting for that one.

Technology

Looks like someone is creating the Matrix...well, at least for a pendulum. Researchers are creating a virtual pendulum that mimics the properties of a real world counterpart. See the link here. Very cool - you might just get to be Neo after all...then again, probably not. Although the artificial intelligence posse wants you to believe that a human being is just software running on a brain...I think there is a fundamental flaw in this thinking. Even so, for a programmer to keep the "state" of a human being in code so that it can be mimicked seems to be infinitely complex. There are optimists and pessiments of course.
Some researchers are saying that we are afraid of being disconnected from technology and our interactions...interesting pdf.

The Church

Lots of audio/video up now from the recent Text and Context conference put on by the Resurgence. I have heard "best conference ever" many times so I will likely try and pick a few of these to listen. Here is the link to the stuff.
Praying about going to this Band of Bloggers thing. I like some young guys I met through blogs - but not sure I have the time...Should I go?
