Congrats to the Tarheels and Roy Williams. It broke my heart when you left Lawrence so many years ago, but we were fortunate to land our feet with Bill Self. I’m confident that he’ll get KU back to the top of the mountain in the coming seasons. After all, Dean Smith was in his 60’s …

Day 19,558
I have decided to join #WriteChain, and I am now committing to writing 200 words per day in my blog. One of the things I am pursuing as a goal is developing better habits, and I’m hopeful that making this commitment will help me along that path. Among the topics that I can/should/will write about: …

Day 19,557
I’m going to try something new, and, hopefully, it will stick. I was listening to John Fugelsang’s show in Insight SiriusXM (channel 121) the other day. He brought up this idea that human beings living an average lifespan of 30,000 days. I decided to calculate how many days I have spent on this plane of existence and …

Closing out 2015, a thought stream
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening where ever you may be. A couple of years ago, I lost my domain. I had owned the domain piercingblue.com for a number of years, and in a little piece of miscommunication between me and my web-services provider, that domain somehow ended up in the hands of some Chinese …

Brain Fry
Study, study, study. Research, research, research. Such can be the life of a technical trainer. I do love my job, and I love (!) my employer, but I gotta tell, sometimes the amount of time and level of concentration one has to commit to learning technology and prepare for a continuous barrage of certification exams …

A complete lack of motivation
I don’t feel like doing this. It’s 8:00 on a Wednesday night, and I have about as much motivation to right as I have to go skinny dipping in a frozen lake. But if that’s what I feel like, I’ll use that as my prompt. Every now and then we all get in the doldrums, …

Feb 17, Mardi Gras, and I’m counting my blessings…
19 years ago, everything changed for me. I made a vow, to love, honor, cherish, in sickness and in health. My wonderful girlfriend became my wonderful fiance and then became my wonderful wife.

I’m not a scientist, but…
I love it when anyone in some position of authority/oversight uses that phrase, “I’m not a scientist, but…”, then goes off on some ridiculous rant about a scientific conclusion that may very well be the accepted position of a vast majority of scientists in a particular field. If you’re not a scientist, then shutup. Your …

2/15/2015 – Almost missed another one
OK, time to get this thing done. Almost let another day slip by without making a post, and that cannot stand. A couple of points. I wish idiot male politicians would stop trying to define rape. They sound stupid. You get some jackhammer out of Utah arguing that sex without the consent with a sleeping …
