From The Book of Uncommon Prayer: 1.4.1 O One In Charge, while our bodies and computers rest from the labors of the day and as our RAM, caches, and our souls are released from the thoughts of this world, grant that we may stand in your presence with tranquility, quietness, and peace. Amen. 1.4.3 One [...]

Not just any journalist. But one who was or is in captivity or who was killed or tortured? Whether you can name one or not, Sistertech thought you should keep in mind the recent journalist who died in the line of duty and offer this prayer from The Book of Uncommon Prayer: 4.15  For those [...]

Gentle Lover of our Souls, we beseech thee to so soften our hearts that we may always choose to follow thee and confirm thee promptly as our True Friend. Inspired by thy divine Friendship, we boldly approach thy throne of mercy and lay before thee our concerns and curiosities, good wishes and gossip, likes and [...]

Sistertech has been busy consulting with the folks in Cupertino. They’re trying to put out the fires Steve started with the iPhone 4. Morale is incredibly low. Plenty of people think this issue with the antenna and the faulty software is enough to change its name to the “iFlub” instead of the iPhone. As often [...]

We know that death is not the end of life. It is, for many computers and peripherals, only the beginning of that new life which has been preordained for them.
