Enjoying a fire on the anniversary of my father’s death. #RIP

Finished reading: Black Health by Keisha Ray 📚

I recommend this book to anyone interested in public health, racial justice, and/or the common good. I will likely assign some of this text in my next section of public health ethics.

The upcoming conference will explore the interrelation between theology, contextuality and digital technology with particular focus on intercontextuality.

I look forward to this #CFP every year. Participating in this #DigitalTheology Conference is always worth my time. I suggest it will be for you, too!


Internet Artifacts

This was a delightful stroll down memory lane.

The use of the word “artifacts,” however, makes me feel super old. I still remember some Strong Bad Emails as if I saw them last week.

Learning to code isn’t enough

This was an interesting read about the history of computer science education.

It brought me back to my high school experience in the early 1990’s. In its curriculum course catalog, the school advertised an Introduction to Computer Science class. I was looking forward to taking the course once I had some room in my schedule for electives. I signed up for the class each year I could and was disappointed each year when told that the class wouldn’t be offered. While I don’t remember the precise reasons given for not offering the advertised class, I do remember feeling like the answers were not satisfactory.

Alas… I’m glad comp sci education is more accessible these days.


Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims

This is a significant settlement. Dominion is receiving some justice, but the issue is far from settled. We will continue to live in an epistemological crisis for the foreseeable future.

Interestingly, this story is nowhere to be found on the foxnews.com website. The lead story above the scroll is: “What Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden are reporting as their federal adjusted gross income.”

Edit: I didn’t dig deep enough.
