We need to have a talk about the flag of the Azores. It is in my unproffessional opinion that this flag is the greatest flag to ever be designed.

You know those times in life when a really dumb idea turns out to be both ingenious and the most beneficial? Well, for me, that's exactly what happened!

I launched a new website! TL;DR: It's a work-in-progress directory of various Catholic prayers in English and Latin, saint biographies (VERY work-in-progress), and hopefully more! You can find it here!

Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."

If you’ve spent any time thinking about how we “own” our books, movies, or music these days, you’ve probably noticed how messy it’s gotten. Back when everything was physical, ownership was simple: you bought a book, it was yours; you bought a DVD, you could watch it whenever you wanted. But with digital media, things aren’t so straightforward. Licenses, DRM, and restrictive contracts have complicated what it even means to “own” something.

I've been hearing a lot lately about how "the UK is killing the internet!" and "privacy is dead!" and so on and so forth. What's disappointing and somewhat confuses me about these exclamations is that, while I still very much disagree with these new policies, a majority of people have begun to see the internet as just a few sites, so if one gets worse or goes down, they think of it as a giant portion of the internet has been wiped out. I've begun labeling this type of traffic belonging to the blissfully ignorant as the intranet.

You know, there really is no better feeling than hearing that one great song completely out of your control over the radio.
