Read MoreMandalorian Review
Growing up, I can’t say that I was a big Star Wars fan. I do remember owning a Boba Fet action figure that was about two feet tall and shot a hook out of its fist. Pretty cool. My mother probably threw it away at some point because, like a lot of things, it just […]
Read MorePersonal Health Tracking
When I began trying to revamp my diet about 8 years ago, I was immediately overwhelmed with how much I would have to keep in my head and think about. And, it isn’t just about memory, a big challenge is – well – challenging everything that I’ve been taught and constantly looking for something better. […]

Rooftop decks are extremely popular in some areas of downtown Baltimore where row homes don’t have a lot of space and people […]
Read MoreNew AirPong Video
I created a new video called AirPong on TikTok, as an experiment to see how many views and likes I could get. Turns out, a good bit. Much more than I got when I published on YouTube. The short video format is good for watchers and for the platform. More videos can be shown and […]
Read More2020 Election Results Pending
To mark history, I am sitting here on Thursday, November 5th, two days after election day, and officials have yet to call the final results. As expected Biden has more overall votes – so he has the popular vote as Hillary did in 2016. The outstanding issues so far are that some complaints have been […]
Read MoreNew Species from Asia
Is it me or does it seem like we under attack by Asia, but they just aren’t using guns or missiles. Instead, we are seeing a growing number of new species of animals that are popping up all over the place. Makes me think we really need to spend more time in customs enforcement to […]
