Having recently watched a debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham I was left inspired. An intelligent, and civil, exchange of ideas between two passionate participants. The antithesis of what we witnessed during the 2016 Presidential Elections. Regardless of where you stand on the origin of our world, it’s worth listening to these gentlemen present their […]

Human Ingenuity
A 1TB hard drive. A terabyte of data. That’s 8,000,000,000,000 bits. Engineers have figured out how to spin platters at 10,000 RPM’s, move a reading head with nanometer precision, and read/write those bits with unthinkable speeds. The technology in a hard drive is absolutely genius and amazing when you think about the precision involved. The best […]
Love Is Complicated
I’ll always be a sucker for the Leia and Han storyline. An indescribable attraction between two people from completely different walks of life.
Your Happy Place
Delusional or not, there’s truth in the power of positive thinking.
Greatest of all time
With names like Tiger Woods and Tom Brady being thrown around quite a bit lately, the inevitable G.O.A.T. acronym peppers discussions.

Trial & Error

Think Different
Apple, Hello from Nashua, NH. I find myself writing to you on a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro. It’s a wonderful piece of machinery that you’ve created. It allows me to accomplish my goals using well-built software in an easy-to-use environment. In short: using this computer is a joy. I wasn’t always a Mac user. My first computer¹, a 386-DX from Gateway […]
Alone With No Distractions
There’s simply nothing quite like a trip around the golf course, alone with your thoughts.
365 New Chances
New year resolutions might work for some. I’d rather look back and assess the prior year to make adjustments for the next. Humans have this weird attachment to endings and beginnings. In reality, life goes on from one day to the next. January 1st isn’t much different from December 31st, except for maybe the addition of a […]

If you’re looking for a simple mantra for 2017, here’s a keeper: Good luck, have fun.
