2/5/2024 Apparently someone thinks they can make their own 12-month MBA program that's better than any other institutes. I am interested.
2/3/2024 The Tim Keller quote: It's a shocking message: careful obedience to God's law may actually serve as a strategy for rebelling against God. The was reposted again recently on FB. I remember when it first came out while Keller was still alive, lots of fundamentalists had problem with it, they even made a caricature of it in the picture of the serpent asking Eve "Did God really say that?" implying Keller as the serpent.
2/2/2024 While cleaning my desk, I came across the 8/27/23 Church Bulletin that I did not logged my notes here. So here it is: GCC sermon by Pastor Chris on Haggai 1:7-11 "Consider The Lord". At some point he remarked that Elon Musk plan to Mars is more curse than blessings. I would comment that it depends on motive, otherwise we would not have airplanes.
During Sunday School, this day seemed to be the one that we discussed the word Temptation and Matt and I found that unlike Chinese or maybe Greek? that English is lacking in sufficient coverage of the word "temptation". In chinese we distinguished 试探 (tempt, bad) vs. 试炼 (test, trial, challenge, good). The Discussion then went on to Christ's Temptation, where the pastor linked Christ's impeccability to God. I would stress here that impeccability only applies to a creature, because it is a creaturely word. So it makes sense to apply it to a God-man, but not God, who is creator and thus impeccability does not nor should be permitted to apply to God. However, because the God-man is impeccable, thus we can say that this is due to the hypostatic union of Christ to His divine nature or person, in one person. I scribbled further but I think it may deserve further research before I fully commit to my scribbling in the bulletin: How temptation and Impeccability/Peccability are connected.
2/1/2024 Came across this news for Mr. You regarding a man suing Bayer for using glyphosate in their product and supposedly the cause of his cancer. He won the case for $2.25 billions, which I think is ridiculous. Only in a liberal's all about individual human right twisted ethic. This drew my interest because glyphosate was mentioned. And it's still a debatable topic whether it's harmful or not to human in this context. Bad interpretation of natural revelation = bad science. Glyphosate is the main keyword I use to look for herbicide. All other active ingredients are a joke. The environmental activists can go suck it. Salt and vinegar have proven effective as well.
An intro to three.js web animations.
Learned that my favored fi-6130dj Fujitsu Scanner doesn't do scanning more than A4 portrait (210 x 297mm), legal (8.5 x 14in.), in terms of paper size: width & length. I suppose most scanners come with such limitations.
Not bad quick 24 pointers from someone 10 years in the Tech world. Some cool quotes:
Forget 5 or 10-year plans. Follow your curiosity and ride the wave. This challenges the principle of sticking to learning something until it is completed, instead of being spontaneous.
You don’t get promoted to take on more responsibility. You take on more responsibility to get promoted.
The best time to apply for a new job is while you still have a good one. This is to ponder upon. I'm guessing this works only in contrast to a disgraced ex-employee when reputation ruined your next job application. So the question is when I'm doing well in a job, are there or how to get better options?
Clear is better than clever. Clever will make you feel smart in the moment and dumb later. Clear will make you feel dumb in the moment and smart later.
A “creative” corporate job won’t scratch your artistic itch. This is good for folks in creative such as Gene. And it's not restricted to the creative field.
