What I Learned About The NY Times Daily podcast had an interesting feature about metal rights on the bottom of the ocean in international waters. If there’s a way for somebody to make a $hitload of money, they’ll do it…
I’m reminded almost daily how bad social media can be. Most notably with neighborhood groups filled with a mish-mash of random levels of idiot. You know you don’t HAVE to respond to every post you see, right? You don’t even…
A couple pet peeves I didn’t realize I had reared their ugly heads this morning in the Costco gas line. People who get back in their car after starting the pump. I know the chances of static electricity sparking the…
The past week or so has been a busy whirlwind of life getting in the way. Busy at the office. Busy with schoolwork. Busy at home. So some things just had to go to the backburner, like posting a blog.…
Testing out a new “newsletter” style format for this post. I’ll try compiling all my thoughts, updates, links, etc. and posting them once per week (or so). So, let me know what you think of the format. Maybe it’s stupid.…
To-do list showdown … revisited! I did a comparison between Premium Todoist and Premium TickTick a couple years ago just to document some of the differences between these two task list applications and give my opinion or observation of the…

YouTube offered the following video as a suggestion alongside another video I was watching. It was one of those random ones that pops up, but their algorithm has clearly pegged me because I was interested. It’s a fascinating way to…
I’ve been writing in my journal for a couple years now. However, it used to be just a recap of the things I did during the day. Sometimes it was only a short bullet list recording events, sometimes a paragraph…
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. A recent resurgence of the “You are in this video” attack on Facebook prompted me to post some tips to stay safe online. These tips are lifted from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pamphlet:…
And that’s a wrap! I did my “digital detox” for the 30 days of April. You can read the rules I setup on that link, but basically I removed most notifications from my phone/watch and committed to not checking most…
Like most people on the internet, I consume a LOT of links, stories, memes, videos, etc. Sometimes I want to share something I read or watch. But, I’m also trying to limit my social media time and not everything fits on…
Yesterday marked two weeks of going through my “digital detox”. I followed Cal Newport’s direction for a 30 day digital detox from his book “Digital Minimalism.” I had been losing my interest in most social media platforms anyway and had…
My wife decided to become vegan about three years ago. My daughter had been vegetarian for most of her life at that point and decided to go full vegan shortly after my wife. Since that time, I’ve certainly changed my…
The last several months have been super busy. I accepted the program manager role at work; but in doing that, I had to not only learn those tasks, but help my old team with their work load, and find and…
I started using Notion.so a few months ago, then decided to pay for a year subscription when they dropped the price to $4 Since that time, I’ve really taken to adding notes, structuring things, working on projects, etc. It’s a…
To-do list showdown! I’ve been using Todoist for several months and am really starting to develop and trust my system with it. However, I had recently been hearing a lot of hub-bub about TickTick and decided to take a look at…
