A collection of photos of me holding one of my several kids during #worship over the years. Second photo was from this morning where I spoke at our preschool’s #thanksgiving performance. My youngest’s daycare is out for three weeks and so he’s been with me […]

Ahhhh! This is my last #mac to not have #linux on it. It’s also been my “home” computer since 2011. I’m nervous because I *think* I got everything off the hard drive that I needed…

“And a little child shall lead them.” My toddler grabbed the processional cross today and decided to guide us out of the church this morning. #sunday #church

A friend’s sign from today. #nokings but Christ

Just had a little get-together with a few friends this afternoon. Some call it #nokings but we call it #nodictators out of respect for our beloved ali’i.

I see you @Jaden3 and figure I’d throw a picture up as well since I’m home not feeling great today and this is a fun #hashtaggames adjacent thing.

Hey, #guitar nerds! I need your #help. I found this Takamine electric guitar (from the 80s) at the thrift store and I’m trying to get more info. The model number, from what I can tell, was used on Explorer-type bodies, but this guitar has a double cut/strat […]

Growing up in Orlando in the 90s as a #godzilla fan was tough. Finding Godzilla toys was nigh impossible. Now that I live in #honolulu I can buy Godzilla toys at the grocery store lol

These are blind-boxed. I’m impressed with the designs (though the Kiryu is […]

My #technology tinkering enters the sanctuary: our cleaning person accidentally broke a glass chimney for one of the altar candles; turns out it’s a size that’s not manufactured and would need to be custom. New candlesticks are prohibitively expensive. But […]

So, discovered that I can mirror my iPhone through the old AppleTV and therefore play emulated games on the Delta app. So what did I decide to play? The super cheesy NES Christian Zelda clone from Wisdom Tree called “Spiritual Warfare” of course!

I *really* […]

Picked up two 3rd-gen #appletv devices at the thrift store ($5 for both). Now trying to figure out what to do with them. Host a website? Retro gaming console?

Who has ideas?

Seeing photos of #PopeLeo wearing that White Sox hat reminds me of an old friend, Bishop Mark Dyer. He was the bishop of Bethlehem, PA and had been raised in Boston. A lifelong Red Sox fan, a parishioner made him (as a kind of cheeky gift) a #redsox miter.

I […]

The other day, Victoria died. She was one my former parishioners back in Florida. When the idea of serving in #hawaii was barely even a whisp of an idea, she randomly gave this copy of the Hawaiian Prayer Book’s preface (written by King Kamehameha IV and […]

Wow, USAToday. My grandmother would be super impressed with this level of passive-aggression!

Since I mentioned my parish's logos, let me share the main one. I designed this using #procreate on an iPad Pro. Saint Mary's was founded as a mission to help the children and families of Chinese and Japanese workers in Honolulu. So I designed a "chop" to […]

Posting the #episcopal Church’s pride shield for a couple of reasons: news out of the UK, of course, but also to confuse the hell out of those in the US government who say that pride flags are a sign of “anti-Christian bias.”

I’m not sure the actual over/under on the likelihood of him declaring a “national emergency” at the border next week (as many fear), but I feel like this post is exhibit A in any potential legal defense against such an action (plus Newsmax also reported on […]

When Yuri Gagarin went into orbit for the first time, he was completely humbled. Do billionaires have the same feeling when they fly up into space?

My daughter got this as part of a children’s ministry this evening (from a different church than our parish—it’s supposed to look like the little flames that alighted on the disciples at Pentecost). Preaching good news to all creation? Gotta be honest, that […]

A fairly well-known photo in the South Florida area (specifically #WestPalmBeach—beloved local Cuban restaurant Havana’s is in the background), where we see Trump filling up his rare Lamborghini Diablo. While he no longer owns the car, it says something that […]

*scratches at neck* What you mean I have a problem? Don’t everybody start sticking #linux distros on every old Macintosh computer they find? *more scratching* Anyone know how to remove admin controls off an old hand-me-down MacBook Air?

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. According to legend he cast out snakes from Ireland. Well I cast out… whatever it was that has kept this NeoGeo Pocket (the greatest handheld console of all time, btw) from working these last, uh, 25 years or so.

So guess who’s […]
