SharperIron on your mobile phone

Just a question for smart phone users. How well does SI work on your phone? Do we need a special version of the site to join the smart phone revolution?

I just use a “stupid phone,” myself, so user feedback much needed.

Seven Reasons to Write for the SharperIron Writing Contest

1. You have opinions. There’s got to be something a lot of people are mixed up about. You could set them straight.

“Devise, wit; write, pen; for I am for whole volumes in folio.” (William Shakespeare, Love’s Labour’s Lost. Act i. Sc. 2.)

2. Tradition. You have a chance to participate in the grand, ancient tradition of rhetoric: persuasive verbal communication.

Tip #3 - Comment Formatting Keys

The new comment editor uses hotkeys similar to most word processors. Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic, etc.

Two requests

My mom was taken to the hospital at 2:30 this morning after feeling weak, falling, and being unable to get up. She had previously been diagnosed with an aortic valve problem that was too small for surgery as of yet. More to come.

Jack McCreadie is a young man from our church who was in a severe motorcycle accident on Thursday morning. There was swelling on the brain, which has since gone down. He has yet to regain consciousness. Please pray for him to regain consciousness and be unimpaired. All other injuries will heal on their own over time.
