Random Endorsement
"One of the most interesting sites in the city [of Pittsburgh] is Williams' 'Ales Rarus' blog, where the grad student in intelligent systems at Pitt, and a convert to Catholicism, posts his witty and fresh takes on everything from religion to Howard Stern to stem cell research, while never seeming to have a preordained opinion." -
