(Here's what I'm up to around the web…)
Essays which echo the broader movement of progressive Christian writers and thought leaders—heralding a return to the empire-challenging social justice movement which was the hallmark of Jesus’ ministry and of his disciples.
Published by my web software company Whitefusion, INTERSECT features articles about supporting the open web, security & privacy, UI/UX, and Ruby programming.

(The latest from The Jared White Show…)
What an action-packed show to kick off 2019! In this episode, Jared talks about the launch of his new Patreon subscription package, the positive response he got from friends and loved ones about his private family photo gallery powered by SmugMug, the greatly exaggerated death of RSS, Apple is doomed (again?), and more. Time to hit that play button!

DuckDuckGo will use Apple Maps for local searches on the web
DuckDuckGo has spent the last few years making the case that it’s the search engine that can protect your privacy, and now it’s trying to bolster that claim with a new partner: Apple. It is announcing that Apple Maps will now power its local search results on both desktop and mobile web browsers. Apple Maps will be the default provider for address and local searches, and it will also be the map you see when you click for more results. DuckDuckGo says that it will now have “improved address searches, additional visual features, enhanced satellite imagery, and continually updated maps.”
I am sooooo in love with the typography of this building signage. ❤️

In recent years, the story of how to make money online as a content creator has become a whole lot clearer. The answer is remarkably simple: subscriptions are eating the world.
First day of 2019 status:
Cleaning my home office/studio and listening to moody progressive house.
Yep, life is good. 😆👍
2018 was the first year I truly embraced Instagram for photography, and I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to share with you my love for Portland and northern Oregon. Happy New Year and may 2019 bring you much happiness!

Only two days left before 2019! How are you spending your remaining time?
(Photo taken earlier this month…I’m mainly just chillin’ at home over the holidays!)
Today’s the first day I’m wearing my new glasses (old ones broke!) while working on the computer…and it’s actually rather sunny out. The full effect is:
Major Happy Mood Time! 🤩
(which is a blessing because having to wear my prescription sunglasses everywhere, even indoors, was really making me feel depressed. So glad I can see normally once more!)
Merry Christmas! I’m thankful to be spending time with my family and enjoying some rest over the holidays. May your days be merry and bright! ❄️
I don’t have time to do a whole write up, so here’s the gist of it: since I’m no longer using #Facebook to share family photos, I wanted to find a way to create a password-protected photo gallery. After some research, I tried out SmugMug. It works great! For only a few dollars a month, I can upload and present photos far more beautifully than I ever could on social media, it’s secure, and it’s ad-free. Simply perfect and just in time for the holidays. Now I can email or text the link & password to family and friends, and we’re off to the races. 👍

Now I know why The Martian movie was made. I finally got around to reading the original book, and holy cow is this a fun read. Not to mention very cinematic (almost like reading a screenplay). Can’t wait to watch the movie once again! #movies #scifi

There’s something uniquely satisfying about taking a nighttime stroll through an urban garden. 🌃🍂

My 36th birthday is coming up this month, and something I’ve been wanting to do for years is promote a fundraising campaign for charity: water. So that’s exactly what I’m doing! Your donation will directly help bring clean drinking water to communities around the world. 🙏🏻💜
I publish something new, you get a nice email. Easy peasy!

I'm glad you appreciated what I had to say. Hey, wanna stay in touch?
Initially this appears to benefit DuckDuckGo more than #Apple, due to the fact that you already have to be using DDG in order to utilize this feature. It’s not the kind of earth-shattering news that Apple switching the search default in iOS from Google to DDG would be. However, I feel like this is simply the opening statement of a much deeper collaboration. The relationship between Google and Apple is strained to say the least, and after this announcement about Apple and DuckDuckGo working together on search functionality, I feel much more confident in postulating that Google’s days as iOS’ default search provider is numbered.
