My Experience with Carpal Tunnel/RSI
Posted in General, tagged Carpal Tunnel, CTS, RSI on December 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I, like so many, use the computer on a regular basis. My current job is 100% computer, and my previous job, was 90% computer. This doesn’t count the fact that my major in college was computer information systems. So imagine my dismay when in the spring of 2007, only a few months into my new [...]
Arguing With Myself

“Responsibility is the price of greatness.” -Winston Churchill
I argue with myself all the time. I have mini discussions over decisions I want to make, plans I am making, and things I want to do, among other things. I am completely fine with this. We all talk to ourselves to some degree. One side of the [...]

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.”
It means, those who have the ability to take action have the [...]
Television is Misunderstood

Television isn’t bad. I disagree with the experts when they say TV is bad. I don’t think it is bad. I think it is misunderstood.
People think TV must be watched. People think that when they get home, if the TV isn’t on, then something is wrong. People think that TV will allow them to unwind [...]

Weekly Roundup – Ode to The Simple Dollar
As you will come to find I am a big fan of The Simple Dollar (TSD). It is my gateway drug into blogs, and subsequently blogging. Before TSD I never read blogs. I don’t quite remember how I found it, though I think it was linked from a [...]

Since I was a teenager, I’ve had this sense like I was meant for something big. Not a drive to excel, just a feeling that I was meant for something. It was a feeling that I was going to make a different. I wasn’t sure what it was. I’m still not sure.
I thought it [...]

Deviate from the norm. Do your own thing. Do what works for you. If you try something and it doesn’t work, try something else. Keep failing forward.

Inspired by Trent at The Simple Dollar, and JD at Get Rich Slowly, I have decided to make my own 101 goals in 1001 days. 101/1001 I call it. For reference, 1001 days equals 143 wks which equals 33 months.
Here are the guidelines provided by Triplux:
The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of [...]

“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” -Franklin D. Roosevelt
I watched a documentary last night called “Hoop Dreams“. I love basketball so it seemed an appropriate documentary for me to watch. It followed the lives of two [...]
