Genealogy Blogging

danithew | May 28, 2007

In the past I’ve paid attention to what Lorelle VanFossen writes about WordPress at her “Lorelle on WordPress” site. She writes very well and provides a lot of helpful up-to-date information.
I couldn’t help but also notice noticed that Lorelle has also written extensively about genealogy blogging. Here’s a link to one of her [...]

Genesis 1:25

danithew | May 27, 2007

וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים אֶת-חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ לְמִינָהּ
וְאֶת-הַבְּהֵמָה לְמִינָהּ
וְאֵת כָּל-רֶמֶשׂ הָאֲדָמָה לְמִינֵהוּ;
וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי-טוֹב.

فَعَمِلَ اللهُ وُحُوشَ الأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَ،
وَالْبَهَائِمَ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا
وَجَمِيعَ دَبَّابَاتِ الأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا.
وَرَأَى اللهُ ذلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ.

E hizo Dios animales de la tierra según su género,
y ganado según su género,
y todo animal que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra según su especie: [...]

וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים
תּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה לְמִינָהּ
בְּהֵמָה וָרֶמֶשׂ
וְחַיְתוֹ-אֶרֶץ לְמִינָהּ
וַיְהִי-כֵן.

وَقَالَ اللهُ:
«لِتُخْرِجِ الأَرْضُ ذَوَاتِ أَنْفُسٍ حَيَّةٍ كَجِنْسِهَا:
بَهَائِمَ، وَدَبَّابَاتٍ،
وَوُحُوشَ أَرْضٍ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا».
وَكَانَ كَذلِكَ.

Y dijo Dios:
Produzca la tierra seres vivientes según su género,
bestias y serpientes
y animales de la tierra según su especie:
y fué así.

And God said,
Let the earth [...]

The Tales of Uncle Remus

danithew | May 23, 2007

At Disneyworld there is a ride called Splash Mountain that takes you gently through scenes from the stories of Brer Rabbit until you reach the end, at which point your car makes a fifty-foot drop into a pool of water (where you get splashed, thus the name of the ride).
As soon as we got [...]
