Sacred Treasure
- Carl Trueman is his trenchant, swashbuckling self in his corrective about current obsessions with all things urban
- Jason Ramsami has remarkable graphic gifts. He’s now made his Jesus Comic (which is available as an iPhone app) freely available on his website in its entirety.

- Anglican Mission in England (AMIE) launches a new site

- It’s hard to imagine what North Korea is really like. Here are a few snapshots…
- The 7 Deadlly Sins of CEOs from the FT’s Lucy Kellaway…
- When high winds make waterfalls go UP

- Here’s another gem from Futility Closet: a plan to dam the Straits of Gibraltar
- The connection between the octopus and cartography…
