A while ago, I had planned to do a post that would include two videos of me solving Rubik's Cube (I'm guessing I've lost half my readers at this point). One video would be a relatively short one of me solving without much talking, and the second video would be a longer one that included … Continue reading Day Two of My Break from Blogging

Taking a Bit of a Blogging Break
I'm not feeling 100%, so I will be scaling back my blogging activities. This means I will not be reading or commenting on other people's blog posts, and I have turned off comments on my blog, for now. Today's post will be the equivalent of Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles football team going in … Continue reading Taking a Bit of a Blogging Break
Music Monday: When Memes Collide
My youngest son asked Alexa to play a song the other day, Ocean Man, and it is one of those songs that I immediately liked. I asked him how he found out about the song and he told me it was part of a meme that featured different songs set to the footage of another … Continue reading Music Monday: When Memes Collide
This Is One Disease I Wouldn’t Mind Having
I first read about this disease while reading a Wikipedia article about the Great Barrington Declaration. The Great Barrington Declaration is a proposal drafted at the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and signed there on 4 October 2020. It advocates an alternative, risk-based approach to the COVID-19 pandemic that involves "Focused Protection" of those most at risk and seeks … Continue reading This Is One Disease I Wouldn’t Mind Having
Music Monday: America’s Answer to the Beatles – The Monkees
If you’re of a certain age, you’ve heard of the Monkees. They were one of the hottest bands of the late 60s. The Monkees are an American rock and pop band originally active between 1966 and 1971, with reunion albums and tours in the decades that followed. Their original line-up consisted of the American actor/musicians … Continue reading Music Monday: America’s Answer to the Beatles – The Monkees
AP, AR, ADA, PPE, STI: When Accounting Jargon Collides with the Real World
I was driving home from Dunkin’ Donuts earlier today, part of my Sunday morning routine, and I noticed the car in front of me had a customized license plate. The license plate was “BDE”. I’m sure it was probably someone’s initials, but the first thought that came to my mind was “Bad Debt Expense”, an … Continue reading AP, AR, ADA, PPE, STI: When Accounting Jargon Collides with the Real World
From Thanks to Rants
In yesterday's post, I expressed my gratitude to all the wonderful people who made our time in Singapore so special. While those good feelings will last a long time, the things I noticed on my trip home today did bring me down a bit from my SIngaporean high. Since "they" say it's a good idea … Continue reading From Thanks to Rants
To the People of SIngapore – Thank You!
It's our last day in Singapore, and to say we have loved it here would be a misunderestimate (hat tip to President Bush!) As we sat having our last teh and kaya toast at the corner cafe this morning, I reflected on all the wonderful people whose paths we have crossed that made this such … Continue reading To the People of SIngapore – Thank You!
Finally, Someone Agrees With Me
If you are a baseball fan, you have probably heard about the sign-stealing controversy that has led to the firing of some high-profile managers (if you are not a fan of baseball and have not heard about the controversy, you can skip to the end of this post. Just hit the Like button and leave … Continue reading Finally, Someone Agrees With Me
I’m Not a Fan of Fancy Words; Plain and Simple Is All I Need
I'm not a regular reader of The New Yorker (probably no surprise there), but thanks to the Apple News app on my phone, I came across a headline yesterday that seemed intriguing enough to warrant me clicking on it for further reading. As it turned out, the story, "The Real Backstory of Why Trump Ordered … Continue reading I’m Not a Fan of Fancy Words; Plain and Simple Is All I Need
