“It was a science to watch him play,” the former Amador Valley coach Rob Collins said. “With Kevin, you had to have vision, bro. And how could I even care if he messed up? He’s only got one hand. He’s just an amazing dude that [...]

Although the election year and perhaps the influence of Shane and Chris’ book has de-politicized me somewhat from where I was earlier in this cycle (can Obama please stop saying that America is the last, best hope on Earth?), I have to admit that seeing Obama’s thousand-watt smile splashed across his site and elsewhere as [...]

A great article from the Washington Post by gold medalist speedskater Joey Cheek regarding action on Darfur.
Lately the news coming out regarding the U.S. executive branch’s abuse of War on Terror prisoners has been pretty stomach-turning. The Guardian is now reporting that the U.S. may be holding terror suspects on Prison Ships. Yuck (I can’t [...]
Oracle Bones

I just finished Peter Hessler’s Oracle Bones and I have to say, it was really a marvelous read. A 450-page non-fiction narrative examination of modern (actually more like turn of the 21st century, which isn’t quite modern anymore…) China, the book is insightful and eminently readable. I must say reading stuff about China is a [...]

A cool link my cousin showed me about a brother preaching it on the street and being homeless to minister the Gospel.
Meanwhile, Namesake put out a new track named ‘Dream’ which I’ve been listening to lately. Good stuff. God let me dream for You…

Wow I have a lot on my mind to blog about, things seemingly interconnected yet hard to relate. Or maybe it’s all like a fuzzy image not yet coming into sharpness.
A quick news link: Police from Myanmar Junta seize Peace Prize backers. Kinda lost in all the news about the Cyclone.
I’ve been hearing and trying [...]

Olympic medalist John Carlos, perhaps best-known for his (along with Tommie Smith’s) raised, gloved fist on the podium protesting racial inequality, has some insight about politics and the Olympics, and the controversy over the Beijing Olympics and human rights.
Keep Burma in your prayers

The Myanmar Junta is dragging its feet regarding the entrance of relief workers and desperately needed supplies, after Cyclone Nargis ravaged its coast last week. Please keep the Burmese in your prayers.

Some people doing good with basketball.
Encouraging news today: China has done a public about-face of sorts and is now agreeing to meet with envoys from the Dalai Lama. I hope this is a step in the right direction for the future of the region!
Gonna throw this NY Times piece on the U.S.’ disproportionate incarceration rates [...]
