I've been test driving google chrome 64 bit ... seems buggy

It seems a bit buggy to me(91). Like the popup
notifications don't seem to always close.
I'm not sure two-factor authentication is working
92 seems better.

Opera 64bit on win10 rocks

Readings - Toolsets

Reading Twelve years a Slave and Conquest of Bread.

Using face recognition for security on my nexus 7 great fit for office not so much for low light,

Using flow on Goggle keyboard not as fast as Swift key not as fast partly because it forces a very light touch. Touch heavy and you produce a different keyset {Greek?}.

Trying Google Keep as a note tool. Tied to one Google account web and android c versions differ too widely.

Emo

Researching (for personal reasons) emotions and what drives them. How they skew and drive us - or how we should take a _cue_ from them and take the wheel:

• Google emotion wheel
• Google Aristotle 2nd Book of Rhetoric
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Stanislaw Lem - His Master's Voice (or when snails meet)

Very philosophic. Worthwhile for the portrayal of how cold-war politics impacted science, the shallowness of science-fiction in the 50s and 60s, and prescient-forward looking to the skepticism of intelligent-design.

I enjoyed it for its characterizations of Baloyne, Rappaport, and the protaganist-narrator Hogarth. The first, Baloyne is the director of the project. He's outsized in everything. Oblique in direct conversation-people never quite no where he stands - which appears to make him friends with everyone (particularly those in power). Rappaport is a holocaust survivor - he has the objectivity early on to realize that nothing may come of the project. Hogarth is a great "existential puritan" he has ideals which he carries into and out of the project - who manages, show how to keep a endearinglevel of but may leave you with a sense of despair. He sums up his experience near the end of the book -- that the human condition is one where he feels we're snails on separate leaves.

This was an interesting article. The distortions of space (micro/macroscopy in article-- micropsia, macropsia, elsewhere) is something I have experience from time-to-time - but-, I attributed to insomnia.

Isaiah 53 (ESV)

Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned -every one- to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Machiavelli: A Biography By Miles J. Unger

Excellent. The history behind the philosophy. This fills the background well and brings a much needed appreciation for Machiavelli as more a commentator on his times (and a patriot) versus the evil, amoral manipulator.

Now I have to learn Italian.

George Eliot by Jenny Uglow

Any book by Jenny Uglow is well worthwhile. They spur me on in learning about history & works of authors I've neglected. I'm finding I'm turning the pages of 'George Eliot' side-by-side with pages of Wikipedia, & Open Library's "Mill on the Floss". Strong, courageous, complex characters require close study. From what I've read so far this delivers. Now what can I find about the 1st reform bill? Fuerbach? Early feminists?

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

/ETCF.019 CREATION

Summary 1. Everything in time and space has a beginning. 2. Something cannot come from nothing. Nothing cannot do anything. 3. If ever there was nothing, then nothing could exist now. 4. Something exists now; therefore something must exist that has no beginning. 5. Things cannot create themselves because they would have to be before they are. 6. If some “part” of the universe is uncreated, then it is superior or transcendent to the parts that have a beginning. 7. An uncreated being is supreme (a higher order of being than created beings), regardless of where it lives. 8. Transcendence refers to a level of being, not to geography. Gen1;Psa33.1-9;Psa104.24-26;Jer10.1-16;Heb11.3;

/ETCF.018. THE JUSTICE OF GOD

Summary 1. Justice is giving what is due. 2. Biblical justice is linked to righteousness, to doing what is right. 3. Injustice is outside the category of justice and is a violation of justice. Mercy is also outside the category of justice but is not a violation of justice.
