Philosophizing Bias

We all have biases. They're ingrained in us from the moment we imprint on our parents. Overcoming them is the hardest thing to do.

An Annual Tradition

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Every year I have things I do, like make a costume and pass out candy. It's tradition. How about you?

Save Me!

There's a really easy way to prevent the loss of everything you've been working on. Save.

Nuclear Option

Fallout 76 is back in the news again. This time Bethesda wants you to subscribe to what they should have put in the game at launch.

Change

Today was profound, and I felt it warranted a bit more than I usually post.

A Moment of Gratitude

Sometimes it's worth taking a moment to step back and be grateful for the little things. It may seem early, but gratitude never is.

Hobbies and the Future

The Chicago Manual of Style. If you write, edit or publish, this is your Bible. And like the Bible, it can be very hard to read.

Free Speech Vs. Free Enterprise

The word "censorship" is anathema to journalism, and it should be. Yet now it's rearing its ugly head and all thanks to China.

Return to the Dark Ages

Power is out in Northern California. Most people don't know how to handle life without electricity.

Entitled Or Just Selfish

Retail workers hate being asked to make exceptions. Don't do it.

Reading Levels

Technology grows faster than we can keep up with at times. Amazon's announcement of a Kindle designed for kids is a fantastic thing.

Wrong Cost to Cut

Need to make a quick buck? Stop paying people! It's not the solution, yet retailers keep trying to make it one.

Identity Protection

Companies make an effort to protect their customers from fraud and identity theft. Consumers, however, would rather complain.

Write More, Get Better

Growing as a writer can be painful. In the era of social media it can be disheartening. New writers are overcoming that through fan fiction.

Costumed Careers

October is Halloween season, and in honor of that, I'm taking a moment to talk about one of my favorite hobbies: cosplay.
