I just heard tonight that John Chapman, long time evangelist in the Sydney Anglican diocese passed away a couple of days ago, aged 82. I never met John, but heard him speak at numerous conferences – always engaging, always passionate for the gospel, always biblical. I have a deep gratitude for John’s work, particularly his transformative work in the Anglican diocese of Armidale – for it was in that diocese, many years later, where many faithful gospel preachers followed in John’s footsteps where I became a disciple of Jesus in 1981.

With his passing, he is now at rest with the Lord. Thank you John.

I regularly use the dictionary.com dictionary app on my iPhone and usually find it to be high quality. But recently I’ve found a couple of words where the example sentence provided is, well, bizarre??? Take a look.

  • “dingle and others would keep what they had purchased using the stolen credit cards, or sell the merchandise for personal profit.”
  • “buhr learned of the incident because his in-laws, present in his house at the time, witnessed it.”

Apple Maps #4

applemaps4Apple Maps errors – example 4.

See that road running alongside the railway line, and over a creek? I’d suggest navigating that route only if you have a bulldozer with floaties, in order to traverse the road that doesn’t exist and the bridge that doesn’t exist.

The map shows Allowah St joining onto Evelyn St. Well it used to, several decades ago! That section of street has been closed off ever since I’ve lived in Newcastle.

And the map shows that you can drive north from the loop on top of Braye Park. That was closed off at least 10 years ago.

applemapsI’ve just updated from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 5. So far I’m really liking it, especially how light it is compared with the 3GS.

But I feel compelled to weigh in on the Apple Maps debacle. How bad is it? Really bad. Without even trying I quickly found 4 examples from my local area. I shudder to think how many errors would be found if looked hard!
