Keeping your knives sharp may seem like a simple, silly lesson. But it’s serious. Here’s why.
Expand Thou Vocabulary
If you read, write or think, you need to use words. Your inner voice can only define what you know how to tell it, which means educate your brain. It makes sense that the more words we know the meaning of, how to use them, and when they are appropriate or useful to draw focus……
A more localized and obvious inequity in America
Maybe here’s the reason you don’t see many Chinese comedians. When searching Google for “Chinese stand-up comedians” the only results are satires OF Asian comedians. Sponsored and created by Netflix, of course. Wokka-wokka We have a situation that reaches all across our county today that the people that are most interested in inequities, injustice, and……
Using Voice Commands to Type
As much as I write, I often think there may be a better way to put my thoughts to page. Some of my best thoughts come to me when I’m exercising or unable to type. And I have apps and systems in place so when that happens I can immediately stop, and ask Siri or……
Why I Haven’t Been Getting Job Offers
Epiphany! I finally figured out why I haven’t been getting hired, and why no one was telling me. After months of applying to hundreds of jobs, going through countless interviews, Zoom meetings, and being introduced to everyone from the Founder and CEO to the janitor and night watchman at most places, which is a process……

3D Printing Update: Thrills & Spills!
The Ups and Downs of 3D Printing This post is more of a flag in the roadway of how I’m doing and what I’ve learned so far. I’ve had this printer for a couple of months now, and run it almost non-stop. Along the way, I’ve been trying to find and learn the appropriate software,……
All Work and No Play Makes Michael a Dull Boy
As I’m now middle-aged, I can admit some characteristics about myself that I would deny as a child, which my daughter denies and shares. I see so much of myself in her. Ironically there are traits that I also notice she doesn’t share with her mother which I recognize, and some that she does, which……
Scooting Right Along with My 3D Printing
Making some progress, indeed. Set up Octoprint with an old Raspberry Pi 2 I had laying around, and an old webcam and Raspberry Pi Accessories. I can’t believe what I have laying around here!
