Recognizing that we got logs in our own eyes, I do wonder if us orthodox, magisterial Protestants and Catholics should speak up more about how bad an idea American Evangelical ecclesiology and theology are? Does our silence imply agreement to the secular world?

Major props are due to Polly. I’ve used Polly to add some retry logic to several services this week. It’s been a joy to work with and simple to implement. Great library. 👨‍💻

I’m going to need video cards to go down in price so I can build a new PC before this is released! — New Age of Empires IV gameplay footage and more to be shown on April 10 - Neowin

O almighty God, who in thy providence didst choose thy servant Patrick to be the apostle of the Irish people, that he might bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of thee; Grant us so to walk in that light, that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through the merits of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen. (BCP 2004, CoI) 🍀

Y’all, Tennessee being ahead of France and Germany in vaccines was not on my 2021 bingo card.

Y’all, I grew up in Alabama. I can confirm from the white side that, at least in my white Mormon circles, this type crap was going on in hushed tones outside of school. It pains me the stuff I heard as a kid and didn’t speak up about. I knew it was wrong. overcast.fm

I wonder, too, other than building a special garage in the back alley, how do city folk who park on the street charge their vehicles?

With electric cars accelerating towards the mainstream, I wonder how long it’ll be before a family can travel from Tennessee through Alabama without much thought about finding a place to charge the car enroute?

I really dislike time changes. Please, Congress, make this the last one for Tennessee and a few others states. 🕰

Finished reading: Compassion (&) Conviction 📚

🚨⛪️🚨 Final announcement before I go Methodist and do something crazy and solo: Free — as in I don’t need any money — ordained & Vanderbilt trained chaplain and clergy person available for almost any ministry or context in Nashville. Please share if you know a ministry that might have interest! I know there are ministries in need, I’ve just been unsuccessful at connecting with them as yet.

I strongly encourage everyone to drop Chrome for another browser. I enjoy Firefox, but Brave is also a good choice. — Google’s FLoC Is a Terrible Idea

I’m enjoying the BCP 1662 International Edition. I can’t say I notice the language updates (them to those trips me up sometimes), but the typesetting and size are an improvement over my trusty Cambridge edition. Fitting state prayers are an added bonus.

Hope is not a software development approach.

Listen folk, if someone’s name is Michael you should not automatically shorten it to “Mike.”

Y’all, Fr. Esau & Fr. Jonathan are bringing the fire here. I’m done with Evangelical culture wars and want to have real ecumenical, Catholic conversations about justice from the Anglican tradition. — 20 Theses on Anglicans, Justice, and the Present Moment

This. I enjoy playing Civ 5 on Settler and doing the pacifist, cultural thing. It’s relaxing & I enjoy it. Civ 6 makes that basically impossible. The Pacifist’s Guide to Civilization 6

I just want to say how thankful I am for the City of Nashville, Metro Public Works, NES, and others. Through snow, ice, tornadoes, and bombs you’ve kept our infrastructure up and running. Thanks!

So, what’s the general consensus on amount of appropriate fade in a clergy shirt? — Back in my office jobs days, I’d wear shirts until the elbow wore out. I’m assuming it’s a good bit before that.

A great episode on management! Would that more would listen. — Modern Management Made Easy with Johanna Rothmann — Hanselminutes with Scott Hanselman — Overcast

I’ve had this very same problem with my Series 3. I’ve had this problem since watchOS 6. In the end, Apple Watch updates weren’t compelling enough for me so I switched to a Withings watch when my Series 3 started dying. — My watchOS 7.3 adventure - All this

February 2020 Michael would not believe that he’d be trimming his beard every Sunday so that his mask would fit better.

Generic Colouriser is a great tool that I always seem to forget about. Does wonders with tail. — GitHub - garabik/grc: generic colouriser

So, I did the Story Graph thing. I’m liking what I see thus far. Much quicker to use than Goodreads.

Vanderbilt Divinity made me lean towards a “no” on women’s ordination. Interaction on the topic in the ACNA makes me lean toward “yes.” — In the end, we need this division to cease. North American Anglicanism cannot afford another schism in my lifetime.
