It is draft day in Detroit!
The 2024 NFL Draft is tomorrow and Detroit is buzzing. This is a time when I wish I were still working at the RenCen, I am sure the energy of the event is palpable.
I wish that I could use the glossary function in Drummer for my micro.blog posts so that links to pages I frequently refer to, like my now page, are automatically generated.

Rolling Through The Blogs
Finished reading: The Divine Dance by Richard Rohr 📚 Trinity matters to the extent that our understand of God matters, which does matter because we become the God that we worship.
What we are seeing played out between Israel and Iran and between Israel and Hammas is retribution. Violence begetting more violence. Empire convinces us this is the norm of civilization and there is no hope for change. Empire is also an idol.
Today I start lap 59 around the sun. Unlike the last two years, there is no snow. Morning sunshine gave way to clouds in the afternoon. My bride and I had a late lunch at Ford Garage.
From Buildings To Floors
I’ve added a blogroll to my Daynotes blog to checkout how it works. I think I prefer the blogroll to be a tab on that site rather than a block on the right of the page because it looks out of place and doesn’t render well on the iPad Mini.
The weather today felt more like mid July rather than mid April, with temperature approaching 80 degrees. I very much enjoyed my walk tonight.
Finished reading: The Trouble with Resurrection by Bernard Brandon Scott 📚
First flowering tree to bloom this year, as always.
I watched an introduction to AI video yesterday in which the presenter went to great lengths to try and convince me that AI is really ok and we really don’t have anything to worry about. The problem I have with AI is that I have lived through the birth and growth of the Internet and through that I’ve learned that software is just an amplification of humanity. As long as there are humans who see other humans as nothing more than a means to the ends of their wealth we have much to fear about any software that amplifies human failings.
This is what 99% of a solar eclipse looks like. Still plenty of light.
Right now it is a normal, sunny Monday morning.
Good morning Cubs fans! Welcome to Eclipse day. Our Cubbies have played three series and won two of them. We could have won all three of them if you consider how well Justin Steele was pitching before his injury in Texas. So far the lineup as produced runs and the starting pitching has been pretty good. My only disappointment yesterday is that the rain disrupted Imanga’s start against the Dodgers, which I was looking forward to seeing. Hopefully they continue to play well during the road trip this week along the west coast.
The flowering tree in our neighborhood that always blooms first has blossoms.
I just checked and discovered that circle to search is on my Pixel 7A. I don’t know why I didn’t get some form of a notification from Google that this software is on my phone given that it’s a new Pixel feature. Not sure how much I’m going to use it, but it’s nice to see current features being updated on my phone.
