    Political rhetoric is tiring. For those of you who’d prefer to spend their time elsewhere, I cut the original1 down from one hour to seven minutes

  • How to Win at Anything

    Last year I started as an assistant coach of the local varsity high school tennis teams and this year I took over as head coach.  Yesterday I got some feedback I cherished. A parent of a team we played against contacted me to say “I am truly impressed by your teams character and disposition. I…

  • Artificial Intelligence

    As much as I’ve bemoaned artificial intelligence, I had a conversation yesterday with some non-technical folks that seemed pretty enthusiastic about it and it got me to thinking about how I might explain my take on it to anyone else.

    The better half is on holiday and we’ve been doing some class A lounging.

  • Cold Mountain

    We took a small trip up into the hills last weekend. An old friend had lined up a rental cabin up on Lake Logan North Carolina for the Cold Mountain Music Festival1.  He was pretty stoked to gather a couple friends for the event because The Mother Hips2 rarely play the east coast and he…

    Back when I was in my early teens, I got an old Minolta SL-T 1012 camera and started taking photos. It was my parents camera and you can see it in this photo of my mom3. These were the pre-digital days and I even signed on to newspaper and yearbook staff at school so that…

  • Slow Thinking

    How I try to organize my attention. I started this essay because I got a new computer a couple months back which always prompts me to reevaluate exactly how I use it.  I also recently added in a set of notes to my Today I learned1 and in the process of doing so, I mapped…

  • The Greenwood Promise

    The Greenwood Promise is a local charitable organization designed to provide locally qualified students with financial assistance for a post-secondary education

  • BASIC

    I was scrolling the intra-webs last night while the better half was wrapping up class when I came across something from my past.  I was searching the trending repositories on Github for fun when I ran across a collection of BASIC computer games1. I opened the bowling game directory and instantly recognized it.  Even thought…

  • 2021 in Music

    I make a new playlist every month while I’m at my desk and about this time every year, I do a round up of my listening habits from the last year. I mostly try to add new releases and throw in any older songs I may have on repeat. I still try to listen to…
