Contraceptive app under fire for causing unwanted pregnancies
Apparently there are some people who work at @engadget who don’t understand what causes pregnancy. An app can’t cause pregnancy, sex causes pregnancy. No app or other method is 100% effective.

Zombies, Run! is one of my favorite Android fitness apps. I’m only halfway through Season 2 because I’ve been injured and can’t run. Recently I’ve decided that I’m going to play “Zombies, Pedal Faster!” because I want to hear the rest of the story.

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. ~Genesis 9:3
