In the hospital, your mother parted her legs and squeezed with great might. A sound started to be heard, not just her screaming, but you. It was your voice. That is of course after the mucus plug was pulled from your mouth and you began to breathe on your own. For the first time, she … Continue reading »

What Dinosaurs have to do with Today’s Businesses
Looking back several million years, it is simple for the mind to imagine large lumbering beasts roaming the earth, looking for food and a suitable mate. Back then size was everything, and if you weren’t big you might be somebody’s lunch. Such seems to be the case in the modern economies of the world. If … Continue reading »
Publishing a Book and Accepting Imperfection
In early 2012, I published my first book. I wanted to write about it because of the lingering feeling it is not completed, hopefully conveying to authors (or those aspiring to authorship) to know nothing like a book is ever really done or perfect the way we want it. I need to start off by … Continue reading »

Yet we are smart and charismatic enough to be the … Continue reading »
Gluten-free – A Religion for the Anxious and Concerned 21st Century Citizen
When Copernicus decided himself right when thinking Earth revolved around Sol, the latter planetary body regarded by the Christian church as a planet, he was burned alive. But what if an idea existed that states: more people are right about something making that something required to be alive? Even modern religious followers of today, particularly … Continue reading »
Autistic Extraterrestrials
On the 14th of March in 2004, five hours and nine minutes of history happened. Daniel Tammet had memorized and recited 22,514 decimal places of pi. Kim Peek reads with both eyes, scanning two different pages and retaining what he sees in an instant. Yet somehow, the majority of non-autistic individuals are those setting the … Continue reading »
