Bad Design Choices
Maybe I’ll get a new car. There’s no ‘maybe’ about being surprised and upset at the design choices made in my current one. But there are some advances I think will happen in a few years. But the price of … Continue reading
Two Years Vs Twenty+ Years
Anniversaries can be handy times to reflect on changes and choices. Two years ago I sold my cottage (868 sq ft) and bought a tiny house (391 sq ft). Life is better, some through good choices, some through luck. Life … Continue reading
Take A Nap
Chaos reigns, and we probably haven’t seen the weirdest. (Imagine if Taiwan was invaded while the rest of this chaos was going on?) It’s almost turning into a litany for me: social injustice, political unrest, climate change, artificial intelligence. Those … Continue reading

“Well, we gotta get the kids those toys. They’ve seen the ads. They’ll cry if they don’t get them.” “Hey, the kid’s launching into the world. They don’t have much and don’t realize what they’ll need. Get them some household … Continue reading
Affording The Holidays
Medieval peasants knew about affording the holidays. I see modern ads about affording the holidays by credit card companies. The peasants were smarter. What they did, we can do, no plastic required. Go ahead and romanticize medieval times. They were … Continue reading
Gifts Change
December. December is so different, now. Before I was a teenager, it was about Normal Rockwell moments, gifts, Santa, food, and how about some more gifts. As a teenager, it probably should’ve been about hormones and recklessness, but I remember … Continue reading
