I’m not going to lie, it’s been a rough day. I needed some smiles and I found them. Not a lot to say but I wanted to share them. I hope they bring you as much joy as they brought me.

This was one of those quiet experiments that completely kicked my ass in surprise. I started off with an experiment on eating breakfast when I get up. Just to say it again, I didn’t normally skip breakfast. I ate it at work, approximately 2 hours after I woke up. For the last week I’ve been [...]

In the modern Olympic era, there is the tradition of the Olympic flame. There is a flame maintained in Greece, and that flame is used to light the torch which is then transported to the country hosting the next Olympic games. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of the Olympic torch. In [...]

Another happiness experiment? What madness is this? Well, I’m noting the start of it a bit late, but ever since yesterday I’ve been working on an issue I have with mornings – breakfast. I know breakfast is a key meal of the day, and I don’t skip it… well, I don’t technically skip it, but [...]

Normally I try to be a good boy on week nights. I try to get home and get to sleep at a reasonable hour. Then, I realized that I completely suck at sleep, and if I’m not actually missing sleep, why not get out? So, this led to me going to ideaBoost at the SteamWhistle [...]

As I discovered quite a while back, my rather aggressive posting schedule does make for occasional periods of burnout. I get tired of writing and I also run out of things to write about. That’s the funny part, running out of things to write about. I keep living, so shouldn’t I keep experiencing things that [...]

Speaking up for yourself in the face of opposition or uncomfortable situations is often about as fun as elective surgery. While some people seem to thrive on conflict, most people dislike it and treat it as a necessary evil (when they’re not avoiding it altogether). Using your voice isn’t an easy thing for some people.
