Daylight Savings

So what to do with all that pleasant daylight after dinner?

Take a walk. Or better yet, take a walk with a family member or a friend. Talk and walk.

And as long as we are are walking, select a destination. Like a coffee shop. Or the library.

If You Are Considering Buying a Drone For Christmas, Read the Review in The Gadgeteer.

No. 1,235 Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know (or didn’t) about buying and operating a drone. A blog known as The Gadgeteer, written by Julie Streitelmeier, reviews all kinds of technology. She and her contributors test and use the products and write candid assessments, full of photos and how-to explanations. In her review […]

Francis, Conscientious Objection and Stralimitate

He also used a word, which Time described as a “mash-up of Spanish and Italian.” He described New York City’s unlimited exuberance as “stralimitate.”

A perfect description of the energy and enthusiasm that Pope Francis demonstrated on his journey to Cuba and the United States: stralimitate.

The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep

No. 1,221 SUMMARY: The Papal visit to America is, above all else, an evangelical outreach to lost sheep who want to be found. The press coverage on the papal visit to Cuba and the United States was extremely interesting. I actually heard a commentator express the opinion that the Pope went to Cuba first because […]

As Generation Z Comes of Age, What Does It Mean For The Rest of Us?

No. 1,219 SUMMARY: Generation Z, which is starting to enter college, is reputed to be the most digital generation yet, with an attention span of eight seconds. We, the Baby Boomers, haven’t even figured out the differences among Gen X, Gen Y, Millenials (if that’s something different) and now (ta-da!) Generation Z. There have been […]

Ahmed’s Clock

No. 1,218 By now, if you watch the news, you’ve probably heard about how a geeky junior high school kid named Ahmed Mohammed brought a clock he had built to school to show his teacher. All was well until the clock beeped in the back of the room and various other teachers, so we are […]

Non-candidate Joe Biden Comes to Town and Sounds Like a Candidate.

Joe Biden was in Pittsburgh for Labor Day. He made a speech in which he did his imitation of a steel worker.

The Labor Day Parade came early this year.

No. 1,208 Today at lunch time portions of the Boulevard of the Allies and Grant Street were closed for a parade by steel workers. They were protesting a lock out by Allegheny International. Mayor Bill Peduto joined the festivities. That was notable, because you don’t usually expect the mayor to take sides in a labor […]

Trump’s Soliloquy

No. 1,205 Watching Donald Trump on TV is like eating a bag of chips. You know that its not good for you, but you can’t stop. Tonight he made a speech in Iowa which was carried live in part on three news networks. He rambled through long self-congratulatory stories. It was entertaining, even though baffling […]

Sunday Rumination on the Week’s News

Complete this thought: â€œLife is shortâ€¦ . .â€

Ashley Madison has it half right. Life really is short and it gets shorter all the time. We know it, but we don’t really believe it, at least most of the time. It’s contrary to our nature.
