Consciousness and Life
After dealing with some health anxiety and fear around death and dying, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be conscious, living, or what even “real” is in the world. Sometime ago, I read a theory that talked about how any particular moment in our universe is…
Entrepreneurs Aren’t The Bad Guys
There are a lot of (rightful) criticisms about billionaire entrepreneurs, but I’m forever grateful to people like Bezos and the people who work for them who make our lives significantly better. Amazon gave me (a working class tech-guy) an affordable, usable, personal assistance and personal shopper. While my wife was…
AI Photo Editing
Remember that photo from the #tripledemic where I was barely clean and happy to be breathing better? Out of curiosity, I ran it through an AI photo editor that I’ve been playing with. The prompt was something like, “attractive brunette man in flannel shirt” and it returned a fun anime…
Another Brush With Death
I have always believed that our souls incarnate in humans to learn some kind of lesson and grow in a spiritual sense. If that’s the case, I have no idea what my wife is supposed to be learning, but MAN-OH-MAN has she been having a rough couple of years! Basically,…

Old Fashioned Holiday
Meijer had this “Limited Edition Ginger Beer” that I was intrigued enough to try. I thought it would be like Ginger Ale (which my family LOVES), but it’s got quite a bite to it. It was not good on its own but after some experimentation, I’ve found it’s good to…
1 Year Anniversary of Robin’s Hospitalization
Last year my wife and I looked at each other and, without saying the words, both communicated the same thought: “if she goes to the hospital, she’s going to die.” I watched while she hugged the kids for the last time while they watched whatever was on TV. Then I…
More Healthcare Dysfunction
Welcome to America, home of complete medical dysfunction! In this country, your access to life saving medicines is always contingent on having access to a medical doctor. Don’t know if you noticed, but those are in very short supply right now. So when your doctor retires without warning (or gets…
Ignition Issue
Editors note: this was written in the future when I rediscovered the attached photo… Been having some weird issues with my white S-10. Runs fine majority of the time but just randomly misfires with no codes. I can definitely feel somethings wrong. I was driving to Ionia the other day…
