WARNING: in case the title of this post wasn't telling enough, I am going to be writing about death and dying in this post. If you aren't in a place to engage with this topic right now, I will not feel bad at all if you table it for another time, or just skip it …
Lack of Tech Regulation Will Hurt American Economic Standing Soon
I'm a bit of a privacy nut; I'll admit it. I regularly make trade-offs and choose not to use a product or service, forgoing the "convenience" it might offer me because I have read and do not agree with the privacy policy. Such as with most tech companies in the US, because we have failed …

Deprivation or Freedom?
Something I do to relax and reset my mind and body every so often is to visit my local float center. There are a few of these places in my city, but I have really only been to this one, and we've developed a relationship. I tried it once and I didn't have a good …
The Tide Keeps Moving
I've had a number of conversations lately about movement, progress, stagnation and time. I think after two years of pandemic, which caused an absolute shake-up to all our status quo, go-go routines, people finally seem ready to figure out what the "new normal" is going to be. The problem is, many of us and our …
Blog Changes
Hey everyone, dear readers new and old. I am so grateful for each and every one of you. When I started writing regularly in this space just over 2 years ago, I never expected anyone to read it. I was just posting, setting my thoughts free into the ether, where they could be picked up …
How to Argue Well
I went to a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago and it was fabulous to see people and engage. While I wouldn't say I know this person incredibly well, we have played in the band together for years. She's also married to another band member and the band even played a short set at …

While this leaked document is …

The Dam Breaks?
I have a confession to make, though loyal readers already know... I have not posted any new writing in this blog for a few weeks now. I broke my writing habit/commitment. I failed to live up to my own ideal. As you may recall, I had set the intention a while ago to publish SOMETHING, …
What is “Good Enough?”
Starting when I was a young child, I enjoyed learning, soaking up information like a sponge, as young children are supposed to do. This thirst for knowledge didn't really stop when I got to school either. I was usually interested in what my teachers had to offer and treated them with great respect, taking for …
How Much AM I Capable Of?
I walked 4.5 miles last Sunday. This is not necessarily a great feat or anything, but it is also something I rarely allow myself to take the time for. According to Google, my route "should" have taken 1.5 hours on foot, but I was dawdling quite a bit, stopping to chat with people, petting some …
