I’ve been to Japan, Hong Kong (twice), Macao, and Shanghai. I definitely liked Japan the best because I found the people to be polite and, somewhat surprisingly, they have a lot of American interaction. But, oddly, I didn’t see a lot of Americans while I was in Japan. When trying to figure out what languages […]

Is Tilapia Poison?
I was reading an article this morning, after my father pointed out that Tilapia is not an ocean fish, after reading over my food list. On the list I had it as an ocean fish but that was a note more about not buying farm-raised fish. I actually didn’t know that Tilapia was a fresh […]
Read MorePlatforms & Content
I think we’ve all been a little bothered over the past week by what seems to be an increase in censorship by some of the platform companies. It seems as though the companies are taking steps to reduce certain types of content based on what their users are demanding. I understand it but don’t think […]
Read MoreShot Measurement Idea
This is the idea of the week. One of my first jobs was as a bartender and I often got in trouble for pouring too much alcohol into mixed drinks. Not that this would have prevented me from doing that but it would have at least been neat to have. I can see why this […]
Read MoreBalanced Portfolio 2021
I took a few minutes this week to go over some investments I made over the past 12 months. Unsurprising to anyone reading, 2020 was a good year for investments. The stock market did very well, alternative assets like cryptocurrency did very well because of some more wide-spread adoption and many people feel it could […]
Read MoreHumidifier in Winter = Great
For most of my adult life, I’ve had sinus issues. It is often just a lingering dull pain in the front of my forehead that makes me feel like someone is pushing on my forehead, all day long. It gets better, sometimes. I’ve gone to doctors to see if they know what is going on. […]
Read MoreNew Favorite Food
I’ve been trying to buy more fresh food for a while but I often throw it away because it goes bad. I purchased egg plant a few times lately and each time it just sat in the refrigerator because I don’t like eggplant and was only buying it because I guess it could be healthy. […]

I just reached an interesting milestone on Quora, a site I use to post questions. Quora pays me a small amount of money to post questions when I have questions. One question about freedom garnered about one-third of the total views and had some interesting answers. Prior to using Quora, I was paying about $40 […]
Read MorePolitics is B.S.
I am pretty clear on one thing, politics is B.S. and people in politics are just B.S. artists. I understand that it is important for people to know how to talk to other and that is part of the art of politics but it conflicts with the science that should be supported by facts. Each […]
Read MoreFind a Lawyer with International Law Experience
Over the past ten years, as I’ve been more involved in creating intellectual property, I’ve been especially concerned about protecting it, internationally. Depending on how you define a country, there are over 190 countries in the world. When working on intellectual property, there can be good and bad reasons to file for protection. When you […]
