A Dragon in Sheep’s Clothing

I’ve been ferreting out videos of these guys at work today. So much fun to listen and watch. I wish I knew what they were doing nowadays. They might give Straight No Chaser a run for their money.

Lesson Nine from tonight’s “Nine Lessons and Carols” at Westminster Reformed Presbyterian Church.

What shall I render to You for the gift of gifts,
Your own dear Son, begotten, not created,
my Redeemer, proxy, surety, substitute,
His self-emptying incomprehensible,
His infinity of love beyond the heart’s grasp.

Herein is wonder of wonders:
He came below to raise me above,
was born like me that I might become like Him.

Herein is love:
when I cannot rise to Him, He draws near on wings of grace,
to raise me to Himself.

Herein lies power:
when Diety and humanity were infinitely apart,
He united them in indissoluble unity, the uncreated and the created.

Herein is wisdom:
when I was undone, with no will to return to Him,
and no intellect to devise recovery,
He came, God-incarnate, to save me to the uttermost,
as man to die my death,
to shed satisfying blood on my behalf,
to work out a perfect righteousness for me.
In Him, You have given me so much
that heaven can give no more.

From The Valley of Vision, a collection of Puritan prayers.

Too cute not to share.

Does the fold still matter in web site design?

I have to say yes, and today I stumbled across the perfect example of this principle.

I like the header on this web site. A detailed photograph with interactive elements that link to his portfolio, Twitter, music, etc. The mouseovers make it navigable. Overall, well done and a nice little showcase of his talent.

Unfortunately, when I first found it, I really thought that the header was the only thing on the page. There is no indication what anything lies below it, unless you happen to notice the scroll bar on the right. I was on my laptop, which is a 15.6″ widescreen. Here’s a screenshot of how it appeared in my browser window:

So yes, the “fold” still matters.
