A REPLY TO RICHARD ROHR ON THE COSMIC CHRIST – Omega Center Ilia Delio,

When we say, “Jesus is the Christ,” we are saying that the humanity of Jesus is one with divinity, the “mystery hidden from the beginning of the world.” There is a particularity here, a haecceitas (or thisness) that cannot be overlooked. Jesus _is _the Christ which means all that God is, is given to us in Jesus, rendering a new understanding of God as relational, self-communicative, self-emptying.

Lotus Notes still lives? Who are the poor folks still stuck with it?

I am watching Chromeunboxed’s review of the Google Pixel Slate. The Slates’s support for mice and trackpads may be the most compelling advantage it has over the iPad. For desktop use, I would pair it up with a standard Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I don’t often type with a keyboard on my lap. If I were to attend a meeting or conference I rather use a stylus and hand write notes.

I am having problems at the moment using OneNote on my iPad Pro, so have reverted to my backup Surface 3 and OneNote. What I had not appreciated up to now is how much better it is to write on the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil than on the Surface 3 and Surface Pen. I am finding writing it frustratingly slow to write on the Surface 3, and I would not have said that before having used the iPad Pro/Pencil for a year.

I recently built my own Federated Wiki server and have been having a lot fun adding content to it since. I’ve found that for me it is the best way to maintain a “Now” page of things I am currently working on or researching.

As a topic comes up, I got to the Now page and create a wiki link to the topic, which I then click to create a new page to which I start adding content.

What I need to determine is what to do with the topics that I complete. I think the ideal solution is a plugin that automatically generates an index of all pages in my wiki so that even when I remove the wiki link in the Now page, a link to the page remains somewhere so that it can be found later. I could manually build an index, but in this day and age I would think an automated approach would be possible and best.

I am looking for a replacement of Google Inbox. I switched to Spark on iOS, but I have not yet found the perfect solution for Android. My key requirement is the ability to quickly archive unread mail.

Update regarding the freeze/resumption issue I have been having ever since the Wear OS H update was installed on my watch. I’ve turned off always on display and since doing that the symptom has not appeared.

Another thing to note, I started this blog while I was out of the country, in Bermuda for the first time.

Milestone Achieved

Something momentus has happened. If you click On This Day up above you will see posts that were not written today but on this day, last year, when I flipped the bit and started blogging mostly here rather than over there.

I am excited to have On This Day finally fulfill its purpose.

I’ve continued to see the problem with my Fossil Q Explorist smartwatch that appeared after installing the H update to Android Wear. Today I found a recommendation to turn off Mobile Battery Saver and so far since I have done that I have not seen the problem.

Update: Alas, turning off Mobile Battery Saver wasn’t the fix, the problem reoccurred. Next step is to turn off the always on display. I’ve also sent a message to Fossil to see if they can tell me how to downgrade.

I may be contrarian, but I don’t like likes. I don’t think much about them on any of my social networks, although I acknowledge their existence.

If you want to give me feedback, write a blog post and send me a link.

Ask yourself, why are Michigan Republican legislators proposing these bills now when they could have done so earlier this year, or last year, or years before?

By their actions you see which party favors power and which favors democracy.

How has this map changed in the last year?

And we as citizens should absolutely not just given in to any politician. We have the obligation to demand that they convince us and to earn our trust, which frankly requires a skill set and the experience that Trump does not have.

The user experience with Federated Wiki is different than what most people have with web pages. First, Federated Wiki is a web application and its “pages” are smaller and appear to the right within the same browser tab. The result is that you can see trial of pages as you click links within a wiki. (External links load pages in a new browser tab.)

The question is, do users like this different navigation and presentation model? Prior generation wiki follows the traditional web page model.

The Packers have fired Mike McCarthy, which given they will not make the playoffs, is in my opinion the remaining best outcome for this season.

I am a long critic of McCarthy. I don’t like how he contributed to running Brett Farve out of town. The team has clearly regressed in the last few years and while there has been a depletion of talent, McCarthy did not adjust well the personnel that was available.

Did a little more gardening today, updated the Fossil Q Explorist page with an observation on what I think is triggering the freeze/long resumption issue the watch has had ever since installing the H update of Wear OS.

Ford Field has become a field of nightmares for top NFL teams. 🏈

Should I pick up this tight end playing for the Lions? Trey Burton is giving me nothing!
