Recent Notes
I was discussing the renaissance of Christianity and return to Christ the other day with some friends. For our generation, elder millennial I guess you’d say, we went through the staunch materialist...
We journeyed through the wilderness, to the edge. We looked over. The philosophy and psychedelics and meditation had their moments, ripped away the veil. But it was easy to see the human wreckage around us, those lost in the fog, nothing to hold on to, the confusion and misery.
The point of feeling all that infinite love isn't just to bask in it like a lizard on a rock, to derive pleasure. It's to realize what He did for us, even though we don't deserve it. And to do something with that knowledge that makes us worthy to take part in that glory.
Generations have come before asking all the same questions. Some found the light and we can too. As the reading from Ephesians today says "Live as children of light" and "Take no part in fruitless works". There was never anything "New" about it.

Went to Mass. The recessional was Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound... I did not know anything beyond the first verse. There is a reason it is so popular.
I just found out about the Stereotomy technique for complex joinery in wood and stone and I'm completely blown away. It goes back a thousand years and is how the great domes and spires were built in Europe. I have done some woodworking and minor timberframing but getting a half-lap joint tight is about the extent of my ability. Just look at these beautiful constructions.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why
Half Life. Just replayed it (well ok Half Life 2 which came out in 04 I think) and it holds up extremely well. No other game has come close imo
I can identify all the traffic lights in a photo of your choice.
I can even solve the really easy little puzzle!
As someone who grew up politically during the Iraq war saga, it really amazes me there's not more widespread opposition to the current war on Iran, which is astronomically expensive and destructive, a...
I oppose the bombs but fuck if I think it's a good idea for the IRGC to have nukes. It is not.
I will admit that I thought taking out Saddam, Uday and Qusay was probably a good thing overall for humanity. Still do. But the way we tried to be the good guys after that and "fix" Iraq was stupid.
So I think a lot of us know a) there is not much we can do b) wait and see.

Just got back from the gym where I listened to a meeting on headphones, it's almost time for a noon meeting, so at least will get something done today. Looking forward to my 12 pack of non-alcoholic beer tonight.
Haven't written a single line of code today but I did write a lot of prompts for chat
The premise of the movie Bugonia is that two conspiracy theorists (led by Jesse Plemons) kidnap a pharmaceutical CEO (Emma Stone) because they think she's an alien.
We watched it last night, and had ...
Had exactly the same take went in cold, was a random selection based only on the trailer. I thought it was going to be a light hearted, madcap caper. But lol no
