Recently I asked one of the members of my Greek reading group (Nina) to do some digitization work for me. I started typing up Pseudo-Lucian's "The Ass" and have made some progress, but I haven't had enough time to make a lot. So, I decided to pay her to do it for me. She said she was interested but I don't really have her on a time frame, so I am not sure when it will be completed. When she is done I will, of course, share it with all of you.
I would image the large majority of you really don't care, but just in case you do, here you go. I am now restarting my technical blog again. I even have a new design. There you will see my ramblings on being a developer with a focus on the various tools that I use to do my job. Just in case you didn't know, I do programming between 40 and 60 hours a week as my main source of income (and one of my sources of fun). So I actually spend more of my time thinking about programming than Greek or Early Christian studies.
A Reader's Version of the Protoevangelium of James
Comments: (2)
I've been wanting to do this for quite some time. Over the last few months I've worked little-by-little on a reader for the Protoevangelium of James. I am finally to the point where I want to release part of it. So, for those of you who have new years resolutions to read more Greek, here is something to help!

I hope it totally rocks for both of us.
Augustine on the Septuagint
Comments: (3)
Some friends and I are reading through Augustine's On Christian Doctrine together. It's a pretty interesting volume. This week we met to discuss book 2 which had quite a bit to say about the Septuagint (LXX). For easy reference, here are some interesting quotes. And just because it would be exceedingly annoying to actually type these in, I'm just going to copy from ccat, at least usually.
First Thoughts on Voting About God
Comments: (0)
So I decided to go ahead and start reading the book I got in the mail the other day, the pretty thin Voting About God in Early Church Councils
I just recently mentioned my book list from SBL. Today I got in the mail a book that looked very interesting that I had forgotten that I ordered at SBL.
I just realized that I never posted the books I bought at SBL. Well...I suppose now is the time!
Last night I watched our recorded "Scream Bloody Murder" by CNN, a show talking about a few genocides in recent history. The only part I watched was the part about Cambodia and it is worth watching (you can see when it is coming on again at that link above). Perhaps the rest is as well, though I must admit that I don't enjoy watching shows about genocide.
