I don't like to brag, but I've paid my donations through a direct bank transfer for about 20 years now, 15 of it over the Internet. That's the degenerate Scandinavia for you...

I've been teaching and training teachers. It's fairly easy to learn the habit of being aware of the time. There are some classrooms where there's no wall clock, and it's up to the teacher to be aware of time in a way that doesn't distract . Often quite doable. Our current old mtghouse has the bell s...

I really love it! BYUTV comes through just fine! Now I can watch GC next month with my linux laptop.

Broadband should be a utility. Because there is no theoretical limit to transmitting data over the network (you just add fibers and routers), when considering that the human population will always be finite, there is no reason why Internet should be regulated like the analog AM/FM radios.

Signed the petition, posted here. I am thinking that a lot of people, especially in Asia and Africa, would happily use Linux. Linux means spending less for your hardware, because you don't have to upgrade every time Redmond decides to come up with a new iteration of the same mess, with some eye cand...

One issue, of course, is the low number of JS descendants in the LDS Church, what with so many ending up with the currently-CoC. I remember there was a while ago a somewhat less-publicized incident of the first confirmed JS descendant getting baptized a member of the Church. I can't remember the nam...
