Very cool latte art this morning. 👻
not be ashamed to confess the faith of Christ crucified, and manfully fight under his banner, against sin, the world, and the devil
Saw this in an old prayer book this morning at Mass and was particularly convicted.
I feel a way about AI. Not loving how it can take jobs away and how it could destroy art. But… it’s pretty cool that I can have my own walk-out music when I teach the kids German. youtu.be/whFmpPkV_…
Taught the boy how to start a grill.
It’s about to get lit this morning at Mass. 🔥 We’re singing one of my top three hymns!
With each passing year, the temptation to switch to Linux full time grows. — macOS Sequoia adds weekly permission prompt for screenshot and screen recording apps - 9to5Mac
Watching Windows people use macOS is wild. Literally every window is used maximized. Such a different way of doing things from someone raised on a Macintosh!
Nearly two weeks in to my new goal of walking 10k steps each day on the under desk treadmill. Simple change and I’m already feeling the benefits. Great to get exercises in while working. 🚶♂️

Some good ol' Anglican holiness in the collect this week.
Digital minimalism appeals to me, but I worry about how I’d interact in SmartPhone-requiring Nashville. Could I pay for parking? Could I open digital menus? Without iOS & Android could I fly with a digital ticket? How would I get into an NSC game? These are my worries.
The Daylight DC1 paired with a minimalist phone are looking more and more appealing to me. I’m realizing, however, that iMessage and Photos.app have their hold on me. Can I truly disconnect from desktop iMessage with wife & family? What is the value of the photos I’d miss?
I’m only two chapters in, but I’m feeling validated about how we’ve handled technology and screen time in our home. The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt 📚
Just finished watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Wow. Some odd bits at the front, but the lighting of the torch and Celine Dion were incredibly moving. Well done, France. 🇫🇷

I felt a little guilty starting a new book last night when quite a few others remain unfinished. But, then I remembered that I’m a grown man and can start a new book if I want to. It was a refreshing thirty minutes of reading before bed and I’m thankful for it.
This type of behavior by companies makes me mad. Double the price just because of different packaging shouldn’t be a thing. — This Coppertone Sunscreen Is Not So Special
I still can’t imagine a scenario where I’d play music like this during the Divine Service, but it’s a fun way to keep up my German while worshipping God.
