Credibilty is like trust: hard to build easy to lose. And as with many things like this, some people care and some don’t. But their lives would be better if they did.

Thoughts, events and news about me. Probably the least-used category, hopefully.
We Are Doomed
I had to deliberate about whether to make the very first post of 2022 a positive or negative theme. I usually can go either way. I don’t mean I’m a negative person. I mean the message of the post. I have a backlog of posts I need to edit and post from 2021, including my……
My 2021 Epilogue
2021 is going down as a serious contender for “Worst Year Ever.” Not because of all the many, many bad things that have gone wrong lately. Both personally and as an American. Inflation is now sky-high thanks to incompetent tinkering with the great economy we just had under Trump. Love him or hate him, he……
Kitchen Supply Reviews
I’m having to replace all my kitchen things and why is a long story I’d rather forget. But I spent decades collecting and assembling the perfect tools for me and my cooking methods. All are gone. Even the awesome iron cookware rack that hung from the ceiling…gone. These racks are great if you have a……
Learn to Distinguish Between What You Can Control & What You Cannot
I’ve had a short line of people remark to me throughout my life, especially recently with so much turbulence and disruption coming my way from an ex-family member, ask me why I don’t react how they seem to believe I should, given the circumstances or event(s) that come my way. They expect me to flip……
Preparation
Preparation is responsible for as much as 99% of the success of any given project or endeavor. That’s true. Ask anyone at the top of their game in any field or business, or sport, art, or anything, and the key to getting to the very top is PREPARATION. That’s why college prep schools, which are……
A Michael & Rebecca Update
Rebecca For those that don’t know the story of how I ended up with a cat named Rebecca, here it is: 13 years ago the girl I was dating, who is 12 years younger than I, adopted 2 kittens from her program adviser in Doctoral school to get “brownie points,” according to her. At that……
¡Ay CARAMBA! – What a Week!
I managed to move a few glaciers 1mm each this week. Which is progress, technically. That’s how an ant eats an elephant: one little bite at a time. And I’ve got a number of unexpected and unappreciated Mastodons I’m working on devouring at the moment. While simultaneously pushing 5 large boulders up a mountain myself.……
The State of 3D Printing
This was almost called “My Final Evaluation of 3D Printing” but that sounded too mortal and finite. I’m not going to stop printing. In fact, I intend to become adept at it, as it evolves, which it’s doing rapidly, and I enjoy as an aspect of it. Quick iterations and a large, and growing, community……
Farewell Plateau; Upward & Onward!
As I find many times more than I care to, user error was at play. Stupid humans.
