Long day, so not many personal thoughts. Rather, since I ran across this article + video earlier today while on a break, I decided to share it. While I can’t say that I would want a robot anywhere near my head anytime soon… it’s definitely interesting!

I followed some of the congressional hearings today involving Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon. And I must say… I get very worried about the lack of technical understanding by the people that are making the laws. Like, they can’t even keep two different services straight in their head (apparently)!
I didn’t watch enough to have any other immediate feedback, though I’ll probably try to catch up more over the weekend.

I realized today that literally everything in life is an experiment. Or rather, I am constantly experimenting with different aspects of my daily life. Whether it’s tweaking my diet to see if I feel more alert, changing up the type of exercise I do, or trying to build new habits, everything is constantly open to experimentation. That even includes things that are, at this point, habit.
Why experiment? Because I’m sure there’s a better way. I don’t for a moment believe that I’ve “arrived” in any aspect of my life. That is part of what keeps me moving forward, a desire to constantly learn, grow, and improve.
Continue readingI’ve talked about this before, but one thing I occasionally find tricky is following through plans or limits that I have given myself. For instance, I try to eat both a balanced diet (in my case, keto, but balanced based on that premise), and to also limit the number of calories I eat per day. Why? Because it’s easy for me to idly just sit and eat, or snack on something. And I don’t like the path that leads me down.
Continue readingToday was a day that very little got accomplished. I’m not sure why… I was in a bit of a funk part of the day. I wonder if I didn’t get enough sleep or something. I did finish Brave New World though… still deciding my final thoughts on it.
And I think that’s the end of today’s post. I’m going to strive to ensure tomorrow goes better.

It’s already 10:10 PM as I start this blog post. Which means that it is well past my normal blogging time. Today ended up being a fairly busy day, between work and small group at church. This is my first time really sitting down much at all, and therefore I don’t have many thoughts. So, until tomorrow…
