UTU Dept of Computing (UTU Computing) have released a short video interview, in which I discuss my recent PhD thesis: youtu.be/y60SxwpQQgU There's also brief discussion of my new postdoctoral research Turun yliopisto - University of Turku toward the end. Thesis freely available at: utupub.fi/bitstream/hand…

Another fab read by Pete Phillips: premierdigital.info/post/is-techno… Loved the end quote: "I still think that the world of tech can be a holy place. It depends who builds it. It depends who fashions it. It depends on the church having the guts to be involved and embedded in its creation".

The Prayer Online project is designed to take forward the emerging field of Digital Theology.

Looking forward to giving a lecture (entitled 'What can Theology learn from Computer Science?') to students at the United Lutheran Seminary this evening... despite the late hour of the whole event, owing to the time difference!

Excited to be in Turku, six months on from the completion of my PhD, to celebrate the conferment of doctoral degrees tomorrow! This evening's festivities... The sword sharpening ceremony! 🎩⚔️
