Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book).

Bug

KPN is offering wireless internet with an advertisement that features something alarmingly like a bug.

KPN bug

The text reads: This summer in the garden: Direct ADSL from KPN, safe wireless internet. The orange circle offers the first month free and a free wireless modem.

The ‘bug’ is in fact a very flat laptop, not a wireless card as I thought when I first passed it.
