Distillation
What technology would you be better off without, why? People have been experimenting and perfecting distillation throughout history. I have been sober for a little over a week and would really be better off if people weren’t so ingenious about distilling sugar. Alcohol is going to kill me if I don’t keep it out of…

Pet Peeves
Name your top three pet peeves. My three pet peeves are repetition, repetition, and repetition. Just kidding. My biggest pet peeve is bureaucracy. People don’t need a ten page Terms of Service.

Naming Names
Who are your current most favorite people? I usually try to keep people’s names off my blog to protect the identities of the innocent, but this question makes that difficult.

I do not trust my instincts
Do you trust your instincts? “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Jer 17:9 KJV In a culture that fights between logic and rationality on the one hand and following our hearts and doing what we love on the other, I tend to lean into the former. This…

The Spring Months
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? I don’t think I have a favorite month per se. I prefer spring to the other seasons so in any given year it is likely that I will prefer April or May the most. Of those two my preference will likely fall on may because of Easter…
