Good Example of a Blog done by a member of the church. They probably took Elder Ballard's advice to heart ;)

I'm not sure that this is how most people use tumblr, but it occured to me that searching for images through a blogging service where people are handpicking these images may be a better system. How many of us have looked something up through google images with sheer frustration at the lack of variety of images? Maybe I'm the only one. All I'm saying is that you should try opening up tumblr, plugging in a word like "mountains" or something and see what rolls out. Keep in mind that an extract of the blogger's text entry is displayed with the image, so it is not a legitimate "image search." But I really feel that this way of people deciding what images should be showing up is a great one. That is all. Also--Don't get too distracted by the huge sign up form in the middle of the page.

this blog is reviewing a book about the Enlightenment. It makes several interesting points about the Royal Society of London.

Not sure if this is correct, but when I searched some blogs for Alan Turing, a large number of the hits on the first page mentioned the fact that he was gay.

Yes, Alan Turing was homosexual, and he was convicted of it since it was illegal in the UK at the time. He was given a choice of prison or chemical castration and chose the latter. He lost his security clearance and was unable to continue his cryptography work for the government. Several years later he committed suicide. It's a sad story of how gays have been treated in the past despite their contributions to society.

Jeffrey Whitlock put this video in his blog.  Its pretty awesome

Great blog about Colonel Paul Tibbets who dropped the first Atomic bomb on Hiroshima

My last blog was a lot about beauty. This, I think, is another example of how we can use technology to better record it. The guy puts his camera on a track and takes a bunch of pictures and he put them all together in After Effects
