I’m very glad that the first part of my life was without the internet and all this relatively new technology. My family didn’t get our first computer – an Apple 2C – until I was a sophomore in high school. From that point on I was an eager and enthusiastic adopter of all things tech.…… Continue reading The Anxious Generation
Enshittification
For most of my life I’ve been an enthusiastic technology adopter. I’m older so I remember the utopia the original internet was supposed to bring about. We were to be more connected, better informed, and this was to lead to a better society and perhaps even world peace! Obviously this was an illusion and instead…… Continue reading Enshittification
A Wrinkle In Time
This is a children’s book that I’d forgotten completely about until I heard it mentioned in the T.V. series Stranger Things. I thought it would bring back some nostalgia rereading it as well as other children’s classics. Now that I’ve finished, I’m questioning myself if I’ve ever read this book since there isn’t even a…… Continue reading A Wrinkle In Time
Journal Entry – 1.4.2026
It is January 4th, 2026. It has been another long spell without a journal entry for which I’ll blame three things: the lack of motivation, disorganization and my dog always wants to sit in my lap where my laptop is supposed to go. I have a couple of things on my mind that I’ve been…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.4.2026
Journal Entry – 12.3.2025

This is primarily for a couple of reasons: the dog likes to sit on my lap where the laptop goes, a feeling of general bewilderment with the world and lack of motivation. Bewilderment Let’s start with the fact that I’m now 48 years…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 12.3.2025
Society is Strange
This post it a running list to catalog all the things I find strange in society. Will be updated continuously. I spent a lot of time overseas and when I returned so much about my country seemed strange to me. Every business wanted my e-mail and telephone number and then invited me to take a…… Continue reading Society is Strange
The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners
I first heard of the Gita in high school religion class. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a very good student at that time and foreign religions didn’t interest me at all. I decided to read this after listening to electronic music where some quotes from Oppenheimer had been added. I was curious about the following: “We knew…… Continue reading The Bhagavad Gita: A Walkthrough for Westerners
The Autumn Moon
The morning of October 6th, 2025 at 6:00 AM. This is my favorite time of year, the beginning of the holiday season. In Ohio, this would mean cooler temperatures, football games and leaves changing colors. Here in Pacifica and at this time of my life, Fall means less fog, sometimes higher temperatures, and Orion over…… Continue reading The Autumn Moon
