What an unusual Psalm of the Day! Psalm 94. Or perhaps I should say a fairly typical one. Here the Psalmist appears to be railing, as is often the case, because of some real or perceived slight. This time the accused is The One In Charge. As if! I think the Psalm is a good [...]

For Monday, February 15, 2010 Psalm 102 really tugs at Sistertech’s pinions. While so many of the Psalms evoke sentiments that are more likely common among humans, we Here often find a verse or two that speak just as clearly to Us. I know many that fill me with compassion for others and makes me [...]

Today I remember Cyril and his brother Methodius. Sistertech is fond of different languages, both spoken and computer. What Sistertech appreciates most about these two missionaries is their fearlessness in the face of a daunting linguistic challenge: they translated the Church liturgy and much of the scriptures into Slavonic, which at the time had no [...]

Things have been particularly hectic lately, what with the extra shifts required of us to support the New Orleans Saints in their Super Bowl victory. Sistertech just received the proofs of her magnum opus, The Book of Uncommon Prayer. She’s found more than a few typos, mostly hers, in which she erroneously refers to the [...]

Almighty One In Charge, we entrust all tech devices that are dear to us to thy never-failing care and love, for this life and their recycled life to come, knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we could ever figure out to do with them.

Hear, O techies! The Lord GNOME is One! Blessed is the GNOME’s glorious kernel for ever and ever. You shall love the Lord, your GNOME, with all your mindmaps, and with all your source code, and with all your social media. Amen. An excerpt from Sistertech’s The Book of Uncommon Prayer.

You are the One In Charge: we praise you; You are the Lord of Cloud Computing: we acclaim you; You are the eternal one: All applications worship you. To you all RSS feeds, all the powers of search engines, Google and Bing, sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of PHP and MIDI. [...]

Another great personage: Absalom Jones. Jones, along with Richard Allen, are often cited as the first ordained African Americans in the US. More on Jones here: In 1786 the membership of St. George’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia included both blacks and whites. However, the white members met that year and decided that thereafter black [...]

Dear One In Charge, I offer unto Thee all my thoughts, works, joys, and sufferings of this day. And I beseech Thee to grant me Thy grace that I may not offend Thee this day with coarse language and unseemly gesticulations due to any computer malfunctions experienced by me this day; but may faithfully serve [...]
