How do I blog? What can you expect?
My blog posts will sometimes be long, sometimes short or medium. When I write a post, I have two things in mind, the first is to give value and the second is to make it clear. I won’t be focusing on the length, but if it gets too long, I’ll split it up.
When I plan for a post, this is my outline (not all are shown in the actual post)
- The topics and categories
- (some may be 18+ and I’ll make sure you know before you begin reading)
- The lessons and takeaways I want you to have from the post (1-3)
- This will be similar to the summary
- The post
- The immediately actionable items (what can you do as soon as you finish reading)
- A summary at the bottom if you want to read the 3-sentence version of the post
- An extra little gift (I prefer to overdeliver)

Flaws of the TSA
I just went through TSA pre check where they swab my hands and booty (the wheelchair cushion… same thing). For the first time in all the many flights and security checks, the swab of my hands came back as an alarm. These alarms go off when any combination of select chemicals are detected, any of…
The Perspective Of Meaning
If you consider anything from a perspective of a time distance enough for it to not have any meaning, well then it won’t have any meaning. It’s a trueism often spoken in other ways such as “nothing matters anyway, we’re all gonna die” and the like. What I never hear anyone talk about is the…
Be Uncomfortable
Let yourself be uncomfortable. When you’re outside, let the wind make you cold. Let the rain make you wet. Let the sun make you sweat. Let the world happen to you. Understand not everything needs to be “perfect” to be comfortable. And if you’re uncomfortable, good. Be uncomfortable and then realize the next day that…
It’s Worse Than Before But Still Good
This is something that has been a lingering and slow developing thought that I finally had some conclusive internal dialog about. I am often told how inspiration I am. Thank you. I guess I am. I won’t try to argue against it. But I don’t feel that way. I’m just doing what I do. I…
Choose Two – Comparisons and Consequences
Something that stuck with me from one of my university courses about electronics – you can have high speed, small size, and a good price. Choose two. It’s pretty true. If you want a compact computing chip that’s wicked fast, it will be very expensive. The formula here is two characteristics that make the third…
Use It or Lose It
There’s no point in keeping something for later use, especially if it’s a one-off. When I went to Japan, I brought back some sakura mochi. It was a good and unique treat, so I wanted to “save” them. Eventually, they went bad. I only ate about half. From this, my biggest lesson learned – use…
Is Journalism Being Overtaken By AI?
I was thinking the other day about how we’ve all been hearing artificial intelligence (AI) taking over jobs such as writing, journalism, and such. First, we should all take note that AI is a very broad and encompassing term like animal, food, or sport. We’re of course talking about generative pre-trained transformers as large language…
Accessibility is Also Exclusionary (by design?)
I’m writing more! (and posting it, which is the biggest difference for you). This one is about my thoughts on how accessibility still excludes me from being part of the world.
Just A Notice
In my notes exists a lot of short or semi-long thoughts that I have felt the need to get out of my head. I sometimes write pen and paper – I think now called longhand – but mostly I’ll type. Different modalities can affect the path a thought will take and how it ultimately takes…
A Year Later & My Thoughts on Life’s Progress and Regression
Before I went to the gym, I decided to write for the first time in a long time once I got home. I haven’t written in a really long time, hardly read anything either – if this ends up so dry that it’s easier to eat than read, I hope you came hungry. I have…
