Darn it. I just broke my handheld a mirror. But it’s my own fault. Because I should’ve laid it down before I ran out the front door, under the painter’s ladder, just to chase away that pesky black cat keeps scrounging around here.

People sure seem to get a big kick out of attacking Christians. From so-called “honest” atheists, to outright God haters, to muslims, and to everyday garden variety heathens.

Last Sunday, Elgielene and I spent some time with my brother. And he told a story about a trip he took to Alaska. And his eyes lit up when he mentioned the boat ride through the blue water of the “inside passage” en route to his destination. Because he saw all sorts of wildlife and marine life, including whales, all sorts of birds, and … The rest of the story…
Computing at the speed of light, but is it good? And is it right? Well, to jump on this topic, here’s a little information I read and saw in a video clip. It said: We’ve hit a wall with silicon chips. Electrons can only move so fast and that’s what limits how quickly today’s GPUs can train AI.
