Realized this morning just how much I love answering questions. Gives me an excuse to do some research, learn something, help someone, give recommendations, etc. SO, if you’ve got a question/problem, just “Ask Josh Anything” here! joshuapsteele.com/ask/
Our kids get to dress-up as their favorite saint at their Catholic school… Should we send our 3yo dressed as Martin Luther? 😂 ⛪️🚪🔨
Last day of being 31. How should I celebrate?
What are the best books to read to understand the Israel-Palestine conflict? #books #israel #palestine #middleeast 📚
I hate Twitter but, to be honest, micro.blog feels a lot lonelier. I like learning, books, mental models, pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, tools, knots, DIY, EDC, productivity advice, coffee, beer, software development, Tolkien, rucking, soccer, chilly weather, etc. Where are my people at??
So many memories wrapped-up with the hymn “For All the Saints”…Singing it every term in seminary, singing it before baptizing my two oldest, singing it at my ordination, singing it next to Fr. Thomas McKenzie (of blessed memory) at Provincial Assembly, etc. etc.
Happy “Finally Feels Like Fall Day” to all who celebrate! 🍁🍂
Giving Kagi search engine a try after hearing enough positive things about it on micro.blog
October is the best month. Still feels like September today, but it will come around.
Some stats about my library, courtesy of LibraryThing: www.librarything.com/stats/jos…
I’ve never heard the word “moreish” until hearing it twice on the most recent episode of Great British Bake-Off! #vocabulary #themoreyouknow
I’m putting together a “maintenance script” that I can run daily to keep my 2016 MacBook Pro cleaned-up, up-to-date, and running as smoothly as possible. What commands should be included in such a shell script?
Nonviolent Communication
When I hear how I communicate and how others communicate, I frequently feel distressed and overwhelmed by my/our inability to separate observations from evaluations and to clearly express our feelings and needs. If you’ve ever noticed the same thing or felt the same way, would you consider joining me in reading this important book? Communication is difficult, but I feel confident that we can all improve our lives by communicating with clarity and compassion. #communication #nonviolentcommunication
It should never be over 80F in September. It should never be over 70F in October through, I don’t know, May.
Who can I pay to clean-up this “JPS” design into a couple .svg and .png files that I can then use in any way I want? I’m also open to other “JS” or “JPS” suggestions, but right now this lowercase cursive one is my favorite!
I love the idea of Derek Sivers’s “Tech Independence” guide here: sive.rs/ti
I know it’s not “indie” at all, but I’m curiousious what the closest AWS equivalents of his Vultr and OpenBSD options would be. Anyone know off the top of their head?
My favorite part of parenting young children is definitely the peace and quiet
“Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have this day done one thing because he said, Do it, or once abstained because he said, Do not do it. It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe in him, if you do not anything he tells you.”
I’m a lifelong Wolverines fan, and I’m still getting used to Michigan having a good football team. 😅 Go Blue!
Gentlemen, I’d like to think about the Roman Empire more often. What should I read? (I’ve mainly been exposed to Roman history via New Testament studies.)
