New Site
I've been having trouble with creating new posts. So go to this site, where I have created a new blog, (http://aws124.blogspot.com/) and also imported the old entries.
Burger Recipes
The food network had a great episode on making great hamburgers on the grill. Here's the link to the recipes.
Deadly E-Waste
This documentary is appauling. It will compell Americans to rethink the next time they will dump a computer to a recycler.
Nova's Ape Genius
Nova explores the 1% difference between apes and humans in Ape Genius. Their conclusion is that apes are unable cooperate toward the same goal and teach others.
Tomato Sauce
Yesterday, I adapted a sauce from Contadina's Italian Herb Meat Sauce. The main changes were that used my own herbs and replace the beef with Italian sausage instead. It came out well.
Qualitative Research Methods
In my recent class, I learned five different qualitative research methods: 1) Case study, a specific study of a something, someone, or group 2) Ethnography, a study of specific group, culture or subculture, Phenomenology, a study of an individual, group, or concept focused on an experiential understanding, Grounded Theory, see here for the definition as this site claims to be both quantitative and qualitative, and Biography/Narrative, a study of an individual.
On a side note, I've always wanted to do an ethnographic study on hockey fans.
Biblical Commentaries
Logos Bible Software has a last chance pre-pub sale for the Anchor Yale Bible commentary set. I was tempted to purchase it, however, looking at the price, it is about the same as it would cost for my van to get repaired, which will most likely happen soon. Nevertheless, Anchor Yale commentaries are the best out there, along with ICC, Hermeneia, NIGTC, WBC and NICNT (which isn't available on Logos yet). I also happen to like Crossway Classic Commentary Series and Classic Commentaries on the Greek New Testament.
Fortunately, Logos does allow people purchase one commentary at a time, see example with searching Matthew, which the will likely do with Anchor Yale Bible after its published. Yet it is cheaper to purchase the set in the long run.
A new feature for Logos is their Product Guide to Multi-Volume Commentaries page - similar to the CBD's product guide. The page explains who the commentaries are geared to. They can geared to scholars, pastors or laypeople, and appear to be accurate on their assessment.
Blogs and Qualitative Study
Yesterday, I learned about the four different ways to collect information for a qualitative study. One form is observation. Second is interviewing individuals or groups. Third is describing personal experience, and fourth is retrieving archival data, e.g. documents, and audio/visual material. It's cool that blogs are included. So if anyone wanted to do a qualitative study on how foreigners feel about living in Korea, the person can look at my entries tagged Korea.
The Devo Blog
I put some devotionals up at my Devo Blog. The focus is integrating God's word, theology, and psychology.
