passion play

If you haven’t visited Digg yet, I encourage you to do so now. Right now. It’s a great resource for those off the wall news posts (and the news that matters) from around the world. The news is user-generated so you don’t get useless things like the rising cost of basketweaving in North Dakota. (If you live in ND, I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s a great state. If you are a basketweaver….God bless you.) Here’s my favorite posts from Digg this past year (in no certain order).

Digg

• SkypeOut now FREE for US & Canada (218 days ago) - This post really rocked my world. Skype now provides long-distance calling for two nations…for free. It was awesome. Now I’m waiting for a cheap, Wi-Fi, Skype handset. They’re out now, but upwards of $150.
• James Kim’s Path. Google Earth Images showing James Kim’s Path (12 days ago) - This post really shows the determination that this man had to save his family. The story is remarkable, I’m sure a TV movie is due out any time now, and the perseverance he had to save his family is an incredible metaphor for the perseverance we should have to save the world.
• Autistic Spends 16 Years Designing an Amazing World (266 days ago) - This is simply incredible. I’ve designed lands and stuff before for games, school, fun, etc, but this takes it to a new level. Imagine what God did before He made earth. I’d like to see all His drawings.
• 4-year-old in Power Ranger costume saves family from gun-toting robbers (19 days ago) - I posted this when I saw it, but it’s still incredible. And it still makes me laugh. My original post is here (link).

Well, that’s it for Digg ‘06. Next? Who knows?
