unfailing love…all other things are rubbish | grace filled, salt seasoned

https://gracefilledsaltseasoned.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/207

Grace filled, salt seasoned. Unfailing love…all other things are rubbish. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts. And every day I have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? These are the words of David from Psalm 13. But sometimes these are the very words and thoughts that I have. I wonder how David said these words aloud…did he say it in his best Ben Stein, monotone voice? How long, O LORD!

Nifty Rictus: November 2010

http://niftyrictus.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

In Praise of Voyeurism. At what age do you wake up and become crotchety? Incidentally, I was glad to see that I wasn't not alone in my grumbling about Zadie Smith's article- bigger, badder responders can be found here. Some with data to back up what the others argue more deductively and intuitively.). It makes me feel like some cantankerous Joad Cressbeckler. What are the results? Then, you'll get to give your feedback! Monday, November 22, 2010. 160;   Labels: digital culture. In the most recent NYRB.

Grace filled, salt seasoned. I’ll get ya with my oxgoad! To kick off the new year, my small group started a study. The book of Judges. As of last night, we’ve studied through the 3rd chapter and learned about just a few of the judges that led the rebellious Israelites after Joshua died. Click here. If you want to brief overview of Judges. Something really stood out to me in Judges 3. He is the third judge over Israel. In the entire 3rd chapter of Judges,. He gets ONE verse. Judges 3:1) …. He did this onl...

Nifty Rictus: The New Republic: Dickens's Writing "Difficult, Obscure"

http://niftyrictus.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-republic-dickenss-writing-difficult.html

The New Republic: Dickens's Writing "Difficult, Obscure". Over at The New Republic. Hillary Kelly lashes out at Oprah. For choosing Dickens as her next book club reading. While obviously I share some of the shock and awe at Oprah's power, Kelly lets it cloud her judgment, ranting that the average reader will have trouble unpacking "Dickens’s obscure dialectical styling and his long-lost euphemisms." Huh? Sake Then Kelly worries about Winfrey's "ignorance of Dickens’s authorial intentions," as thoug...

Nifty Rictus: August 2010

http://niftyrictus.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

By Charlotte Brontë (1853). Quietly devastating" is one of those elegant journalistic clichés that pop up regularly in book and movie reviews to applaud a particular kind of stylistic understatement. It's like the hyperliterate and depressing counterpart to "feel-good comedy of the year"- a phrase that seems made for blurbing a certain form of recognizably literary literature. Regardless of how well-worn the phrase is, I can't think of any more apt way to summarize Villette. For many days and nights neit...

Nifty Rictus: Women Who Look Extraordinary

http://niftyrictus.blogspot.com/2011/01/women-who-look-extraordinary.html

Women Who Look Extraordinary. Henry James and OK Cupid. Make for an unusual match. But the online dating site recently released statistical findings that confirm, more than a century later, James's observation of what made certain women particularly beguiling. In his 1880 novel Portrait of a Lady. James describes his inexpressibly intriguing heroine, Isabel Archer, in comparison to her more traditionally beautiful older sister Edith:. Maybe OK Cupid's stats aren't exactly rigorous science, but they're in...

Nifty Rictus: Write like a man

http://niftyrictus.blogspot.com/2011/03/write-like-man.html

Write like a man. Hu-man, that is. The March issue of the Atlantic. Has a piece about the Loebner Prize. Which is essentially a competition for "most human human" and "most human computer" that follows the basic rules of the Turing test. Humans try, through instant messaging, to convince a human interlocutor that they're real people and not programs, while programs are run that are designed to convince the same human judges that they- the programs- are actually human.
