I Like New Camera Gear But Do I Really Need It?
I like gadgets. I am a modern day consumer wrestling with the brainwashing and herd mentality product marketers use in their attempt to make me believe the next version is better. That it will make me feel better, have more fun and be more productive. It doesn’t...
Government to Help the Persecuted Christians
The Christian Post recently reported that the United States government will help the millions of Christians around the world being persecuted. President Obama said in a statement: “Today, Christianity has become the most persecuted religion, where out of five...
I Will No Longer Create Content for Facebook
People have asked what’s the deal with the blog and why are you just dropping links on Facebook? Well, in short, I loathe Facebook. When you make a post, click a like, write a comment or do a search on Facebook you are contributing to one of the most egregious...

Over the past three months as I’ve tried to recover from injuries sustained in a bicycle crash, I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit staring at the screen of my iPhone 6S Plus. Something about the small screen as opposed to the big screen TV made...
Post Concussion Syndrome is No Joke
Second half-day of work and the first thing I do when I walk in the door is go to bed. Having a proper concussion is no fun. Broken bones heal in the prescribed time. You can work out muscle strains. Bruises go away. Cuts heal. It’s all very civilized. Nobody,...
