If There Is a God

EDIT: I found the video.

This post was part of my homework for Indiana Wesleyan University in response to a recorded lecture Harold Kushner gave. If I can find the YouTube video, I will edit this post to include it. Specifically, my response to this video had to answer the following questions:

1. How important is this problem for you?
2. What do you think of Kushner’s answer to the problem?
3. Have you found other ways to address this issue?

This was my response to the video:
Parts of this video were hard for me to watch, particularly the portion about the young man who was killed by a drunk driver and buried on what was supposed to be his wedding day. I had not thought that speaking in such a manner was teaching people – even subconsciously – to hate God.
The problem of good people suffering needlessly is – I suspect – important to everyone in some degree or another. I’ve had to deal with it when I lost my job last year and earlier when a friend committed suicide. The question of "Why do bad things happen to good people?" is a fundamental question, even if it is the wrong question.
I liked Rabbi Kushner’s three-fold approach:

• The natural world makes no distinction between good and evil. This is something I had not considered when I’ve asked myself that question.
• How do we respond to someone who is suffering? Simply say "I'm sorry" and be there for them. I can attest to that being the most appropriate way more often than not. One of my friends is currently going through a rough time due to an incorrect medical diagnosis that resulted in a drug regimen that’s probably caused more damage to his body than it was intended to fix. I do not know what to say, so I just let him know I'm there and listen as he vents his frustration and hurt.
• Sometimes the "why" is not a question, but a cry of pain. That bit reminded me of a quote by John Hagee in his book, Day of Deception. On page 155, he says:

Hey, it’s all right to say, "Things are not going right. We're in trouble." It's all right to say "I'm hurting." It's all right to say, "I'm a Christian but I still need somebody to pray with me or I'm going to lose control."

It's also okay to be angry at God. It's okay to have doubts. What matters is how you react to those doubts. I remember an episode of Reba where her son-in-law refused to go to church because he lost faith in God. She told him her story, ending it with "He [God] waited for me when I was mad at Him." Despite being on a secular television show, that brought home a truth for me: God waits for us. We may struggle, but God struggles with us, helps us through it, and waits for us.
I went through and skimmed the book of Job. I will certainly be reading it in-depth. Job 35:1-8 brought home another point: God will do just fine, no matter what we do. If we sin, we don't injure Him, we injure ourselves.
One part I had trouble with was that Satan orchestrated these tragedies against Job. I would say, "But why would God let Satan do that?" The answer – if it can be called that – came to me via two ways. First, I re-read the beginning chapter and noticed that God had Satan on a leash, so to speak. God kept Satan from attacking Job's health, then later kept Satan from taking Job's life. The second was Bob Larson's book In the Name of Satan. In this book, Larson detailed some of his encounters with the demonic. He illustrated that demons exist to destroy what God created, and that includes human beings. Many times, he noted, demons perform evil acts just because they can. However, they are still subject to God. It may not sound comforting, but I took a measure of solace in that.
Another additional reading that helped me through a difficult time was James Dobson's book, When God Doesn’t Make Sense. The book helped me realize that even though I am going through tough times, God is with me and I need to trust in Him.

My Favorite 'Star Wars' scene

This is my favorite scene in Star Wars Episode III for one reason: Ian McDiarmid sells it. I wasn't a fan of the *horribly* campy approach he used for Palpatine in the final acts. Here though, he sells it with a look. When Anakin asks if it's possible to learn Darth Plagueis's abilities, the look on Palpatine's face (at 3:49) says it all: "I have him right where I want him."

Another PSA

Leaving the Microsoft Ecosystem (Preview)

Inspired by this post from Brad Sams on Thurrott.com.

Shuttering the Microsoft Band/Health platform may be just the spur I need to exit the Windows ecosystem entirely, as I have been slowly leaving Windows behind. I've left the Lumia ICON on Verizon for a Nexus 6P on Project Fi and traded in my Surface for a Pixel C.

My Band has been refusing to charge, and neither Best Buy nor the nearest Microsoft Store have stock handy for a replacement. I've since bought a Fitbit Alta (and, later, a Charge 2) and resurrected an Asus ZenWatch for testing purposes.

The only remnants of Microsoft's ecosystem at this point are my desktop, personal laptop, and the few apps I still use on my phone.

When automation goes wrong

http://www.satisfice.com/blog/archives/559

This scenario came to pass for a co-worker and myself. Our attempts to automate some manual tests uncovered a configuration issue that resulted in test data being fed into the production environment. In this case, a patient, said patient's medical record, and a prescription order for a controlled substance – in this case Oxycodone – for said patient sent to a local Walgreen's pharmacy.

Another reason why automating tests at the GUI level is not as easy as it seems . . .

Crowdfunding

There's been some confusion in my Facebook feed regarding the purpose of various crowdfunding sites. Below is a SparkNotes version of the three-ish most popular crowdfunding sites:

1. Indiegogo: Founded in 2008 and is one of the older crowdfunding sites. Indiegogo allows people to solicit funds for an idea (e.g. films or music), charity, or start-up business.
2. Indiegogo Life: Launched in 2014 and allows people to raise funds for life events including emergencies, medical expenses (...such as cancer treatments), celebrations (e.g. weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries). Indiegogo Life was rebranded as Generosity.com in 2015.
3. GoFundMe: Founded in 2010 as a means for people to raise money for life events, just like Generosity.com above.
4. Kickstarter: Launched in 2009 and focused on creativity and the projects thereof. Projects launched via Kickstarter include films, music, comic books, video games, and apps.

Time to Clean

So I spent most of today clearing out and hiding many anti- and pro-Trump posts from my Facebook wall. Kind of how I did the same for Hillary, Bush, and Obama. The sheer hypocrisy from both sides does not surprise me, but the venom and vitriol do.

Broken Open by Adam Lambert

Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
I don't want you to go
Don't wanna see you back out in the cold
Air you're breathing out fades you to grey
Don't run away, find me

I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
I'm all you need

Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Let's enlighten the night
We can fall away, slip out of sight
When you drop your guard
Melt into time, so intertwined, quiet

I know the battles of chasing the shadows of who you wanna be
It doesn't matter, go on and shatter
I'm all you need

Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Broken pieces, break into me
So imperfectly what you should be
Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Lay here, it's safe here, I'll let you be broken open
Hide here, confide here so we can be broken open

Reconciling Inconsistencies

Hebrews 13:8 says that God "is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 1:12 states that "You [God] remain the same, and Your years will never end." Yet He brings change, as written in 1 Corinthians 15:52: "at the last trumpet . . . we will be changed." Romans 12:2 states "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed (changed) by the renewing of your mind."

So this is where I'm struggling in my faith: a God who thrives on change, and drives change, yet is unchanging.

Microsoft Reader Redux

Courtesy of MSPowerUser by way of Paul Thurrott.

Microsoft has released an internal build for Windows 10 Mobile that shows off a new store for e-books. MSPowerUser stated that Microsoft "started building in features related to the Books store late last year" when ePub support was built into the Edge browser. However, Microsoft has been working on this for quite some time. In fact, Tom Warren of The Verge reported in 2014 that Microsoft was attempting to build an 'Xbox Reader' app. Also, Microsoft invested in Barnes & Noble's Nook business in 2013 amid rumors that the software giant would eventually purchase it. Until the deal fell through. In any case, this is long overdue and may give me incentive to return to Microsoft's ecosystem full time. Adding a book store gives me another reason to look forward to the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update.

Life Goals: Attend QualityJam

One thing I wanted to do this year was attend QualityJam, QASymphony's annual user conference that talks "about the future of software quality" and other software testing topics. Unfortunately, the lack of funds prohibits me from attending this year. The conference spans two days – usually Tuesday and Wednesday – in April. I priced everything out, including: round-trip flight from Cleveland, three-day hotel stay, conference registration, transportation, and entertainment. All told, everything would come out to around $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 for roughly three days.

I priced out a Monday morning or early afternoon flight down and a Thursday morning flight back. I wanted flights outside of the actual conference dates to have a chance to decompress and explore the area where I would be staying. I would be checking into the Westin Buckhead hotel in Atlanta on Monday afternoon and leaving on Thursday morning.

But, whatever. At least I know how much I would need to save for next year and add this to my list of goals.

Wearable Wish List

There has been a bit of chatter around the Web on wearable devices over the past year, particularly with smartwatches and smartwatch-like devices (such as fitness trackers). 2016 was not a great year for wearables: Google delayed the release of Android Wear 2.0, Fitbit devices – particularly the Charge 2 and Flex 2 – did not sell as well as expected even with generous discounts, several OEMs have discarded plans to manufacture smartwatches, and Apple has not released the sales figures for the Apple Watch. I posted on Facebook about Microsoft's shuttering of its health platforms and the Band being the spur to leave the Windows ecosystem. To date, I have pretty much done that. That is for another post, however.

As far as wearables go, there has been a bit of buzz as we close out the month of January. Android Wear 2.0 is getting released next month. Fitbit has acquired smartwatch manufacturers Pebble and Vector. This short "wish list" of sorts is spun out of that buzz. It is a bit biased towards Fitbit, as that is my current wearable of choice. Without further ado:

1. Tighter integration with virtual assistants. Android Wear 2.0 will bring the Google Assistant to the wearable space. I am looking forward to seeing how Google positions wearables within its vision of a "more personal Google." Microsoft's Band and Health platform had (have?) tight integration with Cortana. However, with the Band being shuttered and Health's future cloudy, this seems like the perfect time to build out an integration between Fitbit and Cortana.
2. The ability to import data into the ecosystem of choice. This is primarily targeted at Fitbit. I have several years worth of data in Microsoft's various health platforms (Health, Healthvault, MSN Health & Fitness). I would love to be able to import that data into either Fitbit or Google Fit without having to use yet another app as a workaround. This takes on more urgency as integrations between these various platforms fall by the wayside.
3. Replace the phone for most tasks. I would like to see smartwatches with cellular connectivity become more affordable so I can accomplish minor tasks such as responding to notifications without having to rely on my phone. Also, I'd love to see them available on networks other than AT&T and Verizon.

So there you have it: my short wish list for wearables in 2017. What would you like to see happen in the wearable space, if anything?

Long-term Wish

The map above is a typical layout for a new complex of townhome apartments that recently opened up not far from me. This is very close to my ideal home layout, as everything more or less flows in an order that makes sense to me. If I had the means and wherewithal, I would build a house that matches this layout.

There are a few things I would change, though:

• Change the walk-in closet of the master bedroom to a closet similar to the second bedroom and use the space gained to add a shower to the en suite wash room.
• Add windows to the bathrooms.
• Eliminate the fireplace.
• If I had the yard space, I'd add a small sunroom off the dining room (10' x 10').
• I would also add access to a patio in the back yard via a sliding door in the sunroom.

Quiet Desperation

by Adam Lambert from the musical Pump Up the Volume.

Quietly we’re taught to listen and resign.
Quiet desperation is our birthright, yours and mine.
And quietly the voice of expectation drowns the dream,
And quiet desperation chokes our soul, so we can’t scream.
Till we’re tearing at the seam, waiting…

Quietly we learn that life is just not fair.
Quiet desperation turns to silence and despair.
And quietly we ask ourselves: how could he choose that way?
While quiet desperation draws us further everyday
From the things we want to say.

And we’re waiting for a voice-
Waiting for the voice to call us home to your embrace.
And it doesn’t take an angel or some ministers of grace.
All it takes is someone who is saying
I hear you. I am here. I am here.

Something else is said
And the phone goes dead
And quietly it ends before it gets to start
Quietly the center fails
And things all fall apart

And quietly we hide our guilt
Each twinge and every pain
And quietly your life ends
With a whimper, not a bang.
And quietly we ask what songs we might have sang.

We’re waiting for a voice;
Waiting for the voice.
Waiting for the voice to call us home to your embrace.
And it doesn’t take an angel or some ministers of grace.
All it takes is someone saying
I’m sorry, Malcolm.

Pop! Goes the Camera

Pop pop goes the camera
Fifteen minutes of fame

Cross promotion, cross the ocean, I'll make bank off their devotion
Drink the potions cause commotions got them feeling strong emotions
I'll inspire they'll admire, won't turn on me cause I got fire
Fame expires, I'll retire but I'll hold on down to the wire

Fascination, saturation
Stars are just like us
Validation, exploitation
All cause a big fuss
Pop, pop goes the camera
Fifteen minutes of fame
Pop, pop goes the camera

Just got back from dinner with two very good friends. Found out some interesting stuff. Can't really post about it yet.

There were a couple of tweets and a Tumblr post that I wanted to use for tonight's post, so I figured I'd resurrect them from my backups. Unfortunately, I did not check to make sure the "restore" part of "backup and restore" was working. So I lost several years worth of posts and tweets.

Crap.

Family Sues Apple, Claiming FaceTime Distracted Driver in Crash That Killed 5-Year-Old Daughter

Garrett Wilhelm rear-ended a family of four along I-35 near Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, December 24, 2014, killing 5-year-old Moriah Modisette and seriously injuring members of her family.

A lawsuit filed by the child's parents on December 23, 2016 in the California Superior Court alleges that Apple failed to implement an alternative design for FaceTime that would prevent the app from running while driving and for failure "'to warn users that the product was likely to be dangerous when used or misused.'"

Excuse me?

It's not like we haven't been warned not to text and drive or use cell phones – period – while driving. After all, there are several commercials about this. Apple's own user guide warns against the dangers of distracted driving under the "Safety Information" heading. Even the little package insert for my Pixel phone has a warning against using the phone while driving.

Why doesn't the family sue the Texas Department of Public Safety, as their troopers were conducting a routine traffic stop further south of the accident? Using the same logic from the lawsuit, the Texas Department of Public Safety is just as much at fault as Apple. After all, the troopers could have put up warnings or some sort of notification about the stop.

The only person at fault for the accident is the driver, Mr. Wilhelm. I feel for the family, but a lawsuit like this doesn't garner my respect. It just ties up time, money, and resources that could be put to better use elsewhere.

The Yellow Dog Project

Do you have a dog that has not been socialized properly, refuses to socialize, or just needs space? I do. Meet Trellis:



Trellis was picked up as a stray in the East 150th Street area in Cleveland, Ohio. I have no idea what her life on the street was like before she was picked up and adopted. I do know that she had to compete for whatever food she could come by. She still demonstrates this behavior on our daily walks. She also picked up some antisocial/unsocial behaviors towards other dogs along the way. It is disheartening to know that she will probably never be able to socialize properly with the majority of dogs out there, despite my best efforts. That's where the Yellow Dog Project comes in.

I first found out about this project via a post on the Addison Police Department's Facebook page. The purpose of the Yellow Dog Project is

The Yellow Dog Project is a global movement for parents of dogs that need space (aka DINOS, Dogs In Need Of Space).

The Yellow Dog Project was created to bring awareness to the general public about dogs who need space while training, recovering from surgery, or being rehabilitated.

The Yellow Dog Project was founded in 2012 and is promoted in forty-five countries worldwide, with over 100,000 members, and translated into twelve languages. However, in spite of the wide reach, there are still a lot of people who are not aware of the project or its aims. Their Facebook page contains the project's history, goals, and milestones. You can also download a flyer for printing and distribution!

If you'd like to know more about the Yellow Dog Project, the following links have additional background information:
