Remarkable. ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/15/despite-the-repeated-warnings-about.html) _2026-08-15 · Jerry Towler_ Despite the repeated warnings about the invader/conqueror from the north, the book of Jeremiah doesn’t actually mention Babylon by name until chapter 20. He spends nineteen chapters talking about this impending disaster “from the north” before finally spitting out who it’s going to be. ## [Does this make ChatGPT Codex half-Mac-assed?](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/15/does-this-make-chatgpt-codex.html) _2026-08-15 · Jerry Towler_ On The Talk Show 452 , “A Scam Held Together with Patriotism and Golden Paint”, John Gruber said: One of the things that, to me, just defines a Mac app is being able to open whatever the element of the app is, you should be able to open that into a window on its own. He complained that, for example, in ChatGPT Classic (née ChatGPT), there’s no way to open a thread in its own… ## [Saturday Is the Day of Pre-Rest](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/15/saturday-is-the-day-of.html) _2026-08-15 · Jerry Towler_ “No, Saturday is the day of pre-rest. Yeah, so that way, when you actually get to Sunday, you’re rested enough to enjoy your rest.” —Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls , S1E17 Our marathon-of-marathons has surfaced a lovely bit of wisdom: Lorelai Gilmore has accidentally invented a two-stage Sabbath. Her formulation is, typically for Lorelai, absurd: recover on Saturday so you can achieve maximum… ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/15/yesterdays-thunderstorm-cooled-off-the.html) _2026-08-15 · Jerry Towler_ Yesterday’s thunderstorm cooled off the valley enough for me to get outside for the first time in a few weeks. AllTrails estimated 2.5 hours for this trail, so I was fairly surprised to find myself back at the parking lot in 97 minutes. ## [Stay updated on your professional world (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Gc4ke9Kh04fr) _2026-08-15 · **Sponsored**_ Keep in touch with people you know, build your career. ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/15/yesterday-during-a-thunderstorm-the.html) _2026-08-15 · Jerry Towler_ Yesterday, during a thunderstorm, the Costco we were in lost power. Everyone continued to shop with phone flashlights until they herded us out. Apparently the registers ran on battery, so we were all able to check out, but then we were trapped at the entrance by the rain. On the plus side, it’s much cooler today. ## [Daily Reading - 8/15/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81526) _2026-08-15 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 41:1-3 ## [Daily Reading - 8/14/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81426) _2026-08-14 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 38:17-18 ## [Daily Reading - 8/13/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81326) _2026-08-13 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 36:1-3 ## [Daily Reading - 8/12/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81226) _2026-08-12 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 33:14-16 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/11/working-my-way-through-my.html) _2026-08-12 · Jerry Towler_ Working my way through my Chapter by Chapter notes on Jeremiah tonight, I kept thinking, These chapters are really long! Fortunately, I had already built some Bible-data machinery for this article . So naturally, instead of getting back to my notes, I had Codex investigate. The result: my intuition was right. Mostly. Jeremiah’s chapters average about 25% more words than the average… ## [Daily Reading - 8/11/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81126) _2026-08-11 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 31:31 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/10/the-esv-study-bibles-notes.html) _2026-08-11 · Jerry Towler_ The ESV study Bible’s notes on Jeremiah begin, Determining the authorship of the book of Jeremiah is complicated by several factors… I understand and appreciate the challenges; I just love the juxtaposition of the name of the book, which comes from the authorship claim in the very first verse of said book (“The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah…"), with the claim that… ## [Daily Reading - 8/10/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-81026) _2026-08-10 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 29:8-11 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/09/we-have-started-our-fall.html) _2026-08-10 · Jerry Towler_ We have started our Fall marathon-of-marathons a little… early… this year. First up: Gilmore Girls . An uneven show for sure, but I’ll never turn down something with such excellent dialogue delivered so well. Bonus trivia: Star’s Hollow uses the same set as Bluebell in Hart of Dixie . ## [Open-source Screen Sharing with Control (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/ns4g7k1DGzeG) _2026-08-10 · **Sponsored**_ WebRTC screen sharing with simultaneous mouse & keyboard control; viewers join in browser. ## [You Are the Temple of the Living God, Jesus Is Your Defense, and Your Gospel Will Not Return Void](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/media/?p=3245) _2026-08-10 · Mike Bechtel · Desiring God Community Church_ See Jesus as our righteousness and our defense, as we walk through Paul's journey back to Jerusalem.

That brings me to 1,005 chapters (84.5% of the way there)! Isaiah was definitely the hardest book left, but Jeremiah and Ezekiel aren’t easy, and together they make up 100 of the 184 chapters remaining. ## [Daily Reading - 8/8/26](https://fcbc.substack.com/p/daily-reading-8826) _2026-08-08 · First’s Substack_ Jeremiah 27:5-7 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/06/finished-reading-the-butchers-masquerade.html) _2026-08-06 · Jerry Towler_ Finished reading: The Butcher’s Masquerade by Matt Dinniman Wow, this book was very nearly serious fantasy! It has huge stakes, multiple meaningful races, some hope that what they do in this book will have impacts on the next one, and some actual pathos! Easily the best in the series so far. 📚 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/06/finished-reading-the-gate-of.html) _2026-08-06 · Jerry Towler_ Finished reading: The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinniman This book takes place inside cosmic bubble wrap. Dinniman’s brain reminds me of a Gary Larson quote: You know those little snow globes that you shake up? I always thought my brain was sort of like that. You know, where you just give it a shake and watch what comes out and shake it again. It’s like that. 📚 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/06/finished-reading-the-dungeon-anarchists.html) _2026-08-06 · Jerry Towler_ Finished reading: The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook by Matt Dinniman It’s so nice to just plow through fun books like this. Sometimes I get too serious about my reading and forget that you’re allowed to read fun stuff with no telos . Weirdly, the title object is a bigger deal in future books than in this one. 📚 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/06/finished-reading-carls-doomsday-scenario.html) _2026-08-06 · Jerry Towler_ Finished reading: Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman This series continues to be excellent empty calories of entertainment. I particularly love that the title refers to an object, not… a scenario. 📚 ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/08/06/simon-willison-on-blogging-my.html) _2026-08-06 · Jerry Towler_ Simon Willison on blogging : My number one tip for blogging is to lower your standards! Aim to hit publish while you are still actively unhappy with what you have written, because the only alternative is a huge folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all. Nobody will ever know how perfect the thing you intended to write would have been. The flaws you see in your writing are… ## [Jesus Chose Homelessness to Make a Home for His People](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/media/?p=3232) _2026-08-02 · Mike Bechtel · Desiring God Community Church_ August 2, 2026 Jesus Chose Homelessness to Make a Home for His People Matthew 8:18 – 20 Michael Cole preaching [Listen](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/audio/20260802-matthew8_cole.mp3) ## [A Friend Gave You $30 (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/tcdhCpfeykNG) _2026-08-02 · **Sponsored**_ Sign up, deposit $5 within 30 days, and start investing with expert guidance. ## [Do You Trust in a Lie?](https://johncarpenter.substack.com/p/do-you-trust-in-a-lie) _2026-08-02 · John Carpenter · Covenant Caswell_ from an exposition of Jeremiah 28 ## [What’s Wrong With Nolan’s “The Odyssey”?](https://johncarpenter.substack.com/p/whats-wrong-with-nolans-the-odyssey) _2026-07-27 · John Carpenter · Covenant Caswell_ new article in The Imaginative Conservative ## [The Yoke You Cannot Escape](https://johncarpenter.substack.com/p/the-yoke-you-cannot-escape) _2026-07-26 · John Carpenter · Covenant Caswell_ from an exposition of Jeremiah 27 ## [Christ, Your End and Purpose](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/media/?p=3198) _2026-07-26 · sobe sambath · Desiring God Community Church_ July 26, 2026 Christ, Your End and Purpose Acts 21:17-26 Jacob Smith preaching Acts Series: The Acts of the Risen King Jesus [Listen](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/audio/20260726_acts21_17-26.mp3) ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/07/25/looks-like-openai-has-finally.html) _2026-07-25 · Jerry Towler_ Looks like OpenAI has finally done the thing that was obvious from the beginning: just give the ChatGPT-née-Codex app a “ChatGPT” mode and a “Codex” mode. Only weird bit left is that in ChatGPT mode, the non-pinned projects start with Codex repos, not ChatGPT projects. ## [Playlist for the Month](https://jeremiahbrent.substack.com/p/playlist-for-the-month) _2026-07-24 · Jeremiah Brent_ Summer, loading — ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/07/23/just-finished-my-notes-on.html) _2026-07-24 · Jerry Towler_ Just finished my notes on Song of Solomon in my quest to complete companion pieces to every chapter of the Bible. That brings me to 939 chapters completed, which doesn’t look like a milestone until you realize it means I have exactly 250 chapters to go. ## [Venturing Upon Rude Waves](https://johncarpenter.substack.com/p/venturing-upon-rude-waves) _2026-07-23 · John Carpenter · Covenant Caswell_ a new article in Christian History Institute ## [(untitled)](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/07/21/i-agree-with-mantons-mockup.html) _2026-07-21 · Jerry Towler_ I 100% agree with Manton’s mockup of how OpenAI’s Codex app ought to work . Three modes, uncluttered sidebar that works like the old app when needed. It’s so obvious it’s weird it doesn’t already work like this. For now, I’m still just running both ChatGPT Classic and Codex. ## [By Us, For Them](https://jeremiahbrent.substack.com/p/by-us-for-them) _2026-07-21 · Jeremiah Brent · Jeremiah Brent_ Conversations from our living room. ## [The Will of the Lord Must Be Done](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/media/?p=3191) _2026-07-20 · sobe sambath · Desiring God Community Church_ July 19, 2026 The Will of the Lord Must Be Done Acts 21:1-16 Jacob Smith preaching Acts Series: The Acts of the Risen King Jesus [Listen](https://www.desiringgodchurch.org/audio/20260719_acts21_1-16.mp3) ## [The Snare of Pragmatism](https://johncarpenter.substack.com/p/the-snare-of-pragmatism) _2026-07-19 · John Carpenter · Covenant Caswell_ from an exposition of Jeremiah 26 ## [In the future, you will see a lighthouse emoji appear here: 🛙](https://jerrytowler.com/2026/07/17/monarch-lighthouse-emoji-pickle-emoji.html) _2026-07-17 · Jerry Towler_ Monarch lighthouse emoji, pickle emoji, cracked face emoji I don’t know how you’re gonna last another year without a Lighthouse.
