Is it time for “Choose Your Own Device” (CYOD)?
I’ve posted over on LinkedIn an article asking the question: “Is it time for Choose Your Own Device?”. Spoiler-alert! I really think it is. Let me know what you think!
Continue ReadingGeorge Floyd, 1973–2020.
Until writing this, I have made no public reflection on the death of George Floyd, the continuing situation in America (and by extension the UK and so forth), or the trending topic of whether black lives matter. Update: It has come to my attention that there is a subtle but crucially distinct difference between stating […]

Read my article over at LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-can-technology-delivery-teams-learn-from-spacex-demo-2-hall While watching the Demo-2 SpaceX/NASA launch on Saturday, I started to develop a number of lessons that technology delivery teams can learn from this historical event. I’ve started with 10 lessons, which you can find over on LinkedIn.

Ubiquiti networks – Unifi-ing our house…
Prologue. So, I finally broke. It was one too many WiFi drop-outs on a day when I just really wanted to be able to watch a TV show without having to fiddle. And I guess that’s where I should start. 10 years ago, our house would be “far from normal”. It’d be modern, edgy, technologically […]

What actually *is* the Bible? (pt 5 – God’s message)
We left off the last section saying we’d look next at how to protect against heresies and controversy. Spoiler alert! I am about to argue that the single most important thing a true Christian can do here is know how to handle scripture correctly. This is another enormous topic – so as in all the […]

What actually *is* the Bible? (pt 4 – Kidneys.)
In the previous part of this series we looked at three major translation theories – and looked at the complexities of translating even a simple word such as “flesh”. A few times I’ve found myself in a discussion around how ‘Pauline’ missionaries (like New Tribes Mission) handle translating words into very rare languages (like those […]

What actually *is* the Bible? (pt 3 – Bible Translations)
At the very start of this series I said we’d answer three questions: What actually is the Bible itself (the “canon of scripture”)? Where does it come from? How is it in English? What is a Bible translation (what we have in English today)? Does our choice of Bible translation matter? Is there one “perfect” Bible translation […]

What actually *is* the Bible? (pt 2 – Dictated? Greek?)
Last time we left off with an unanswered question: given scripture is written or spoken by prophets, apostles, scribes, and “apostolically[sic] approved” people – then in what way is scripture divinely inspired? Does this not leave us with yet another book written by the hands of men? Question:Is the Bible simply dictated by God? Some […]

What actually *is* the Bible? (pt 1 – An introduction)
A couple of years ago I ran a 2-part series for our church’s Wednesday evening bible study titled “What actually is the Bible?”. The goal was to answer three essential questions: What actually is the Bible itself (the “canon of scripture”)? Where does it come from? How is it in English? What is a Bible […]
Continue ReadingWhy I have a phobia of ordering at MacDonalds…
I’ve toyed with several titles for this LinkedIn article. “Why I have a phobia of ordering in MacDonalds” was one, along with “Dyslexia: the pain is real!”, “10 things only dyslexics will appreciate” and “Why I’m always late for that meeting…” This isn’t a super-serious reflection on life – I intend it to be a […]
