Executive Functioning
What is your career plan? My brain is good at absorbing information. It is also good at retaining information. What it is not good at is putting all that information to good use. In the course of discovering what autism meant in my children and understanding how much of that they got from me, I…

Productivity is Relative
When do you feel most productive? As a general rule I feel most productive in the afternoon. Once I’ve had a chance to wake up and focus on my daily task list I tend to believe more than any other time during the day that I am accomplishing things. But productivity is relative. I need…

Walgreens Dream
I had a dream that the General Manager of the store I used to work called me in for a short shift. I did little work on the floor but when I came back to the office I was offered a chair and some food. Lots of employees were in the back at the time.…

Most People Don’t Understand
What’s something most people don’t understand? We live in a very specialized world. Most people don’t understand what goes into the vast majority of the work that needs to be done to keep things running. Doctors don’t know most of the country’s laws. Lawyers don’t know much medicine. Entrepreneurs don’t know either, but the doctors…

Conscience is Atomic
For many years I have asserted that freedom of religion is an inferior way to talk about liberty than freedom of conscience.

The Commodore 64
Write about your first computer. I wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons and heard about a Commodore 64 game called Pool of Radiance. I needed the game of course which came on 5&1/4 inch floppy disks. I believe there were a total of 8 in the set. To play it I needed a Commodore 64…

Cities
What cities do you want to visit? I like the city I’m in and don’t intend to travel unless my presence is specifically needed somewhere. If I had the right pretext I would like to see Portland Oregon again. I also would kind of like to visit Antonio Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Spain…

Commissioned Artwork
I made a little money on a special request for my art work. I spent about two hours on the designs and a bit on the Walgreens website ordering prints. Granted my mom is the patron. Still it’s awesome to sell art. Each piece has commercial value beyond the original work. Onwards and upwards.
