Child's Play

Every year Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade run the Child's Play charity to give games and toys to children's hospitals around the globe. You can give a cash donation or choose the hospital near you and gift a specific item. They have already hit over one million dollars this year, which is pretty impressive for something two guys started in 2003.

Danny Robinson

There is a fascinating interview of Danny Robinson, a poker player, where he tells his life story and his coming to Christ. I can't seem to get just an mp3 link, but you can subscribe to the two plus two podcast and download episode 51 or go to their website and listen. Either way the interview starts at 41:17 and runs to 1:30:03. This story has quite a bit of why Vegas in the 70's was sin city. He is quite the raconteur and this interview is part of his ministry to tell poker players about Christ. One analogy he relates from Hayseed Stephens, New York Titans Quarterback, is that when you go fishing you don't jump in the water swim down and clean the fish, but you catch the fish and then clean it. Stephens said that he was catching him and then God would clean him.

Divorce Rate Myth

This appears to be old news, but it corrects even older news. Awhile ago the information that 50% of marriages end in divorce made headlines all over the place, but apparently that is wrong. In fact marriage stability is increasing since the late 70's during which only 53% lasted 25 years. Less people are marrying, but those that are seem to be more stable.

Auditorium

Auditorium is a game that you have to try. Part game, part sensory experience.
