For the record, micro.blog is my favorite social network. And I wish all the cool people would ditch FB, Twitter, et al. and come join the fun at MB. However, for the time being, I’ll still keep my cross-posted tendrils out in Mastodon, Bluesky, etc…mainly in the hopes of luring more people to MB!
Testing to make sure cross-posting from micro.blog to Bluesky works!
I’m now on Bluesky. Who else is there? bsky.app/profile/j…

The Church has been around long enough that we can judge her by her fruit, yes? Because I’m seeing a hell of a lot of rotten fruit.
Psalm 50 and Hosea 6:6 are always important reminders for Christians. “I desire steadfast love, not (liturgy), and acknowledgement of God rather than (immaculate vestments, musical worship sets, sermons, sacraments, etc.)”
I’d like to learn more about the law. So I’m reading these books and I’ve got a Merriam-Webster Legal Dictionary on the way. What else should I read?

I’m leading a 30-minute demo on AI coding tools. Writing in Java, in both IntelliJ and VS Code, and using GitHub Copilot, AWS Codewhisperer, Tabnine, and Codeium. What should I create/ask to provide a good overview? I’m trying to come up with something fair, interesting, and demo-friendly.
My refurbished October 2016 MacBook Pro is showing signs of age. I keep seeing this on startup. If I do a hard restart, then I’m able to proceed normally. But this keeps happening! Might be time for an M1 or M2 Mac soon…
