Normally my “weird holiday” posts are silly and fun, but today we are taking on a serious topic. Today is Safer Internet Day. We’ve all heard the horror stories of people who have been recorded without permission via webcams, folks who have been swindled out of huge sums of money by internet scammers and companies who have had huge data… Read more »
Unless you were living under a rock, you know that the New England Patriots won their 6th Super Bowl last night. Like most, I was hoping for a LA Rams upset, but it was not to be. I was also hoping for a good halftime show, but I should have known better. So why were most fans of the literally… Read more »

If you haven’t worked out in 3 years but resolve to start going to the gym every day there’s almost a 100% chance you will fail…. Read more »

I don’t recall exactly how it came up, but I told him that it’s important to talk to and listen to people who you don’t think you agree with. He looked at me like I’d grown a second head.
