My little Ivy had to be put down today. She was a rescued boarder collie mutt and was one of the fastest, most agile dogs I’ve known. She had one heck of a personality. It was a good (almost) 19 years together old girl!

"make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."
-Philippians 2:2-4

Someone at a Texas firm snuck some scripture into the structural drawings! Staring at it all day and thought it was the normal legalese haha!

Not 100% accurate, but something to consider.

Remember those pictures: "How many books can fit on a CD?"
Software development turns that wonder into a nightmare for me when I consider how large projects, and their libraries, are these days.

Me, after trying to understand software projects. I don't have a great knowledge of programming, but I like to tinker. Are you guys having an abstraction contest or something? The worst part is that I feel like everyone else sees this as a non-issue. I don't have any solutions, and I definitely can't visualize how I would ever be able to contribute to a project without making it a full-time job. Hats off to all you machines out there who really get this stuff.

Less than half an hour to the HFC event party!

Here is a speech by Charles Hoskinson(founder) that can give a bit of an intro. He has a lot of good videos.

A lot of thought and hard work have been poured into the Cardano project, and I think a historic moment is coming up tomorrow with the advent of smart contracts on the network. Whatever the price does, that’s irrelevant. This technology can be a force for good in the world and shouldn’t be viewed as some get-rich-quick scheme. It is complex stuff, but a lot of things that we use every day are.

The fact that our creator gave us the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a profound truth. Interestingly, the truth is that we cannot fully understand and exercise these rights without Him. Life is so hollow without true meaning, and liberty is a lie when we are confined to the prison of our own corrupt nature. The idea of finding happiness is just a joke without the former. God gives us these gifts, and the ability to enjoy them, through Jesus. He is the Good Shepherd.

It has come to my attention that someone didn't care for this post and that's OK. I don't think that the mandate and the Auschwitz showers are all that dissimilar. The showers weren't originally meant for extermination and they were actually beneficial. The bathing process was streamlined and the poor folks probably entered willingly, because who doesn't like being clean? Their government, who I'm sure they funded with taxes, treated them like cattle instead of free people, until one day...
