Year 2021 in Podcasts
In 2018, podcasts I listened to changed my mind on Big Tech, and I quitted Facebook and IG to move away from Big Bad Tech. In 2019, I dove into meditation and spirituality. In 2020, I began to feel hopeless for humanity but also began to feel hopeful after realising there were more similarities than…

The Last Time, by Sam Harris
Take a moment to think about all the things in this life that you will experience for the last time. When is the last time you swim in the ocean? Or went camping? When is the last time you took a walk just to take a walk? As you go about your day today, consider…

The takeaway from all the top podcasts in 2020 was “inevitability.” History is repeating itself. This saying is glib, but it is true, and very…

Year 2020, Happy List

This year, I added a “Happy List.” I think after 2020 we are permitted to be trite and cheesy in the name of universal happiness. Pardon the brags- those are intentional. Learn to Type “Colemak”I decided to type differently. I regretted it, because…

How did I do? What did I learn?
It has been a while since I did a presentation. I was rusty. A few things I observed: I did not become aware during the presentation. This has been a goal of mine – to be more aware throughout my day. I failed at this. As I was unaware most of the time, I rushed…
