How we view the world we live in (our worldview) underpins every part of our life. Cameron Blair created an infographic with a summary of the major worldviews that exist today<\/a>, with helpful 2-ways-to-live-styled diagrams (our associate pastor also taught a lengthy series on a biblical worldview<\/a>).<\/p>\n

World view of a different sort: An inside view into Google’s project “Ground Truth” to show how much work goes into creating Google Maps that work (the picture above shows the raw data, then the final result after the data is fixed). In the process they’re redefining what a map is. Alexis Madrigal writes:<\/p>\n

Everyone grows old<\/a> – Ana Oliveira has a really neat photography project. She finds old portraits, then shoots the subjects in the same pose years later. (HT: @challies<\/a>)<\/p>\n

“You who are young, be happy while you are young,
\nand let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
\nFollow the ways of your heart
\nand whatever your eyes see,
