Nice E-Commerce

July 7th, 2004  |  Published in Art and Design

While looking through Didier Hilhorst’s portfolio, I discovered a screenshot of a e-commerce design he did (or is currently doing).

I’m still cleaning up the drool. So clean… So crisp… This made Didier one of my favorite designers instantly.

Sellotape Copyright Information Page

Here we obviously have some geniuses at work. Who makes a website and then says this:

Hyperlinking to this site, is not permitted without the express prior permission of Sellotape®.

Oh, I get it. Don’t do what I just did.

D.A. Carson and Circulated Emails

July 2nd, 2004  |  Published in Religion

While reading an excerpt from D.A. Carson’s The Limits of Functional Equivalence in Bible Translation—and Other Limits, Too (available as PDF or HTML), I noticed the following disturbing comment:

In one circulated email, Grudem comments, “The TNIV mistranslates the masculine singular pronoun autos, substituting plural pronouns, thus losing the teaching that Jesus has fellowship. . .” [emphasis mine]

Circulated email? He does not provide a footnote for it citing that Grudem granted permission to publish it, and he does not quote an actual public monograph that Grudem wrote. That doesn’t seem right (or scholarly, something I normally respect Carson for) to quote Grudem from a “circulated email” in a public work without his permission. He also quotes this “circulated email” one other time (but then uses “e-mail” in case you are searching). Very disappointing.
