Pisteuomen - πιστευομεν - T. Michael W. Halcomb

It's been a while since I've utilized this feature of Pisteuomen, but I'm proud to resurrect it and bring it back to life, the feature is: A Beginning Blogger . I started this feature for the following reasons (here's what I wrote in the initial piece about it): "...I realize how tough it is to get people to visit your site, comment, add you to their blogroll, etc. Now, I've done a lot to make my blog both resource and user-friendly and I believe that's contributed to its success but it might have also helped if some more well-known persons helped draw attention to Pisteuomen. Well, with the conviction that the biblio-blogosphere is not about constantly catering to the egos of a select few or having to be around for years in order to make it (among other things, like creating a resourceful, edifying online community), I thought I'd add this feature." The Beginning Blogger that I'd like to mention today is Daniel J. Levy. Daniel maintains the bl...

That's right...Big Butter Jesus has been sunk! Face first into the lake he was hovering above went the ginormous statue when it was hit with lightning. Perhaps he was tired of being mocked or maybe he was out to tell Solid Rock Church to quit being sooooo crazy! Either way, the butter statue that looked like he was signaling "touchdown" has bit the dust. James McGrath has a list of bloggers who've been talking about it. I've written a couple of posts about this statute ( HERE and HERE ) but check out their comments on the statue's demise HERE . And a link courtesy of my father-in-law, here's a video of it:

Dan Brown's Da Vinci discovery was only the start of miraculous things found in the painting. Following Brown, the Italian computer guru Slavisa Pesci claimed to find hidden persons in the picture. I poked fun at that claim in a post titled Da Vinci Againci . Following Pesci, and just days ago, another Italian (what is it with these Italians?), this time a musician named Pala , has found a musical score in the painting. Wow :) But what about me? What about my discovery? Why has it not been promoted? Here's how my discovery came about: I went to Rome, photographed the painting, came home and began to fiddle with it in Adobe Photoshop. I tried a few tricks such as inverting the photo, rotating it 45 degrees, changing the hue / tone, and surprisingly, nothing worked. However, when I used my special effects "blogger lens" tool, something amazing happened: The painting totally changed. From left to right, the faces of numerous bloggers appeared to be having dinne...
