God I love this pic.
Bookmark on Delicious on iPad
Super helpful for getting the most out of my new iPad!
When I see something on web I want to save I add it to my Delicious. As I browse more often using my iPad I needed a way to bookmark on Delicious. The process of adding this bookmarking is similar as described for Instappaper but different javascript.
- Click on + to add current page to Bookmarks. Change the title to “Bookmark on Delicious”. Click Save.
- Select All and copy the following javascript:
- Open Bookmarks list, click on Edit. Select Delicious bookmark. In the link field remove text and paste the code from clipboard.
- Click on Done. And now you will be able to bookmark websites faster on Delicious while browsing in Safari on iPad.
It speaks to the deep irony of the human condition that killing a person can sometimes be a very good thing.

I solved the deficit! Who knew it would be so simple? Brilliant execution by the New York Times of an online widget that makes it easy to understand the impact of various budget-cutting and income-increasing options.
Of course, I didn’t have to deal with the consequences of these decisions for my reelection bid, and I didn’t have lobbyists camped outside my door offering wads of cash for said bid. Not the most realistic simulation, but one that more people should take a look at.

On Saturday, February 19th, the House of Representatives voted 235-189 to pass a continuing resolution that eliminates funding for public broadcasting. I put together this handy chart on why PBS is worth saving. Find out how you can fight back at 170 Million Americans.

I got a very sweet email yesterday from a woman named Lauren, who sent me a link to this awesome infographic. She said that my “readers” might enjoy it, so I expect both of you to reblog it immediately!
And I couldn’t write a post about pi without also mentioning my good friend from high school, Luke Anderson, and his outstanding website teachpi.org. He also wrote a π tribute rap to the tune of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” then a bunch of high school students made a video for it. Strange, I know, but it got him an article in Newsweek, so that’s something.
There is no regret. We should look forward. How many days do each of us have in our whole lives? We can live for 80 years on average. That’s 30,000 days, 2.5 billion seconds. Which one makes you think life is short? The process is more important than the result, because we all have the same result—death. It’s the same destiny.

Wang Xing, founder of the Chinese social network Renren, in Fast Company, The Facebook of China, January 2011. I’m currently writing a paper on Pascal’s Pensées, exegeting a passage on the “brief span of my life absorbed into the eternity which comes before and after” (#68 in the Penguin translation by A.J. Krailsheimer). This last week, during the discussion section of my Christian Ethics class, we had a brief debate about the universality of Pascal’s approach in the book. The above quote from a young man in China gives me even more cause to believe that this sense of the fleeting nature of the human condition is at least a common feeling—one that I myself struggle with, and have written about before.

The question should not be “What would Jesus do?” but rather, more dangerously, “What would Jesus have me do?” The onus is not on Jesus but on us, for Jesus did not come to ask semidivine human beings to do impossible things. He came to ask human beings to live up to their full humanity; he wants us to live in the full implication of our human gifts, and that is far more demanding.
