You may have noticed I’ve added a list of links in the sidebar recently. These are the 10 most recent links I’ve bookmarked (and made available for sharing) through my del.icio.us bookmarks.
At the moment I’m exploring a lot of stuff about Bible reading, design and translation, which has had the excellent side effect of [...]
