This Blog and The Stuff I Post

1 Comment

The world is in such turmoil right now. Political upheaval, wars and rumors of wars, money woes and so much more. I believe in being up on things going on and sharing it with you. My heart and soul feels everything and I want to share what is going on in my head. I know this is my blog and I have the right to post whatever I want.

However, I need to figure out some balance between the bad and the good. The Artemis II voyage to the moon was something awesome and positive. However, the unnecessary war with Iran is a longer-term reality. Life is like that these days. Everything is going on all at once so it seems.

I don’t want you my blogging audience to think I am always negative, no one wants that. So I might start posting weird stuff that makes my weird heart happy. Some of it won’t make sense, but hopefully it will let you know that this blog is still about where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life.

I hope that makes sense. What do you think? Feedback welcome.

A Commentary on Linux and Computer Hardware

Leave a comment

Apple launched a new series of MacBooks recently called Neo. They are powered by the same chips that power iPhones. I think the company is producing so many new things that something you bought last year seems obsolete. That planned obsolescence cannot be good for the environment because of the e-waste it produces. We are also aware of Windows 11 making many systems obsolete too.

I am glad to do my part to keep older machines going as long as possible. Thanks to Linux working on perfectly good machines it can make a difference. It’s also fun and cool to keep an older system going with a little creativity such as more memory and SSDs. To the Linux community lets keep making our favorite distros better and easier for new users to come on board so they can save some time and money.

I recommend ZorinOS, Fedora or Linux Mint for anyone wanting to get into the Linux game. They are powerful operating systems that is easy on older systems. They are also full of features that will help you get things done such as web browsing, word processing, graphics, podcasts, email, music, gaming and more.

Rest In Power Mark and Jaye

3 Comments

Two good people I know passed away recently. Mark who was a high school classmate and Jaye who was a fellow parishioner at church both passed away within the last couple of days. I liked both of them, and it saddens me that they are no longer with us. Jaye fought a 15-year battle with cancer and Mark had health issues of his own. Both men were good people. I am better for have known them and had them in my life. May their memories be a blessing. Godspeed good sirs.

Blessed are those who mourn.

Kevin Bacon Instead Of The State Of The Union

1 Comment

We are being entertained by the great actor Kevin Bacon instead of watching the State of Disunion Address by the Fascist Dear Leader. For our entertainment we have chosen “Tremors” and “He Said, She Said”. Two different movies but still two of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Equip Disciples – Our Weekend At The Annual Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee

Leave a comment

This weekend, we represented our church at the 42nd Annual Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. It was our third time attending as a delegate. This is a gathering to discuss and conduct the business of our larger community of churches. It was a great time to learn more about how to be better Episcopalians and to connect with others who are doing the same. I was blessed to be there and to reunite with friends and to meet new people. One of the group meetings I was encouraged to be more weird in church, This is easy for a church nerd like me. It was a lot of fun and I hope I can go back next year. Thanks to the Episcopal School of Knoxville for hosting again.
