If you still don’t believe in yourself despite others believing in you. If you think they would see you’re a fraud if they only knew the truth. If you fear it’s only a matter of time before they do know the truth, and then they’ll demand the money, the degrees, the recommenda...

I’ve received a lot of compliments over the years. And I’ve disliked most of them. While I’m working on being gracious and accepting well wishes, there is still one word that strikes my ire. It’s the kind of compliment you only get when you’ve gone through some...

You are working, and working and working. And you are working more, and more and more. BUT. You are reaching nowhere. Let’s call this the TREADMILL LIFE. You are walking a lot. But you are in the same place. When there isn’t any progress, there isn’t any freedom. Work w...

Straight road or winding road? Squares or circles? The picture on the left by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian or the one on the right by his compatriot Vincent Van Gogh? Which is better? Sharp intake of breath … surely you’re not asking that question …?! In the 18th century, ...

TikTok has popularized many visual effects, and one of the most intriguing is the glitch animation. This effect makes it look like the video is experiencing a brief digital “glitch”, adding a cool and edgy vibe to the content. In this article, we’ll explore how to implement this gl...

Cask is the App Store of HomeBrew. It makes installing, updating, and even uninstalling popular apps as easy as ABC — by simple commands! It’s only after I discovered Cask, I escaped the fusses of: dragging app icons into Applications to install, (you know it) updating apps in...

My father recently rang to ask for advice about his online dating profile five minutes after I finished a call with my mother. Mom had called for the sole purpose of informing me, yet again, how sexy her 60-year-old boyfriend’s body is. Neither parent asked if I wanted to have these conversati...

In the bustling landscape of San Francisco, where dreams and technological innovations intertwine, I found myself navigating the early stages of my career in the gaming industry. A modest income, a budget stretched thin, and the constant hustle characterized those days. Little did I know that the jo...

Recently, I invited a lovely 94-year-old woman to join me on a vacation to the beautiful storm-battered coast of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula. Ninety-four years is a very long time to live — few people make it that far. I’d like to. My grandmother died at the impressi...

Media is not a window onto the world. It’s a window into the machine dream world, a system of material production pumping out industrialized information into every sensory organ. All of our media—including news—are just carefully engineered dreams. They’re either complet...

Itstarts so young. They tell you from the moment you are born. Do you get a pink blanket or a blue one? You are dressed in onesies that read “Daddy’s Little Girl,” and “I’m not allowed to date until I’m 25.” You’re not even a year old and already th...

I’m sure this is a sentiment many in the LGBTQ community relate to. The feeling can stem from a lack of support from family and friends. It may be because of your geographic location. It may be self-inflicted as you stubbornly push people away. I’m not judging; I’ve done it too. ...

As I prepare to burst a whole lotta bubbles out there, let me explain and apologize. First, while I’m an old guy out of the baby boomer generation, I married a woman who is full on supportive of Women’s Rights, and I had three daughters, now all grown. In fact, I’ve been surroun...

The 24/7 talking heads are covering the November 8th election just as they always have. They look at the icing but ignore the cake. They see this as just another midterm election. They use the polls as a crutch but fail to explain what’s behind them. They miss the things that are not ...

This sentence was written by Timothy Leary in his 2001 book “Your Brain is God”. Let’s see what he meant with this analogy between psychedelics and the protozoic world. Can Psychedelics Unlock Our Primal Mind? Have you ever wondered if your mind holds hidden echoes of our pri...

Hype can be very dangerous. In this day and age where everyone competes for attention and clicks, brands have proved us they’d be willing to nail their own granny to a cross in hell if it guaranteed them good sales. To combat such shady tactics, I always recommend a prudent approach ...
