Life has seasons

About three days into the pandemic, I had the third zoom call in three days with a person I had been seeing before it all went south. We shall call this person, Human Being Called Faith, because that's the rough literal translation of this person's...

LinkedIn puts me in a bad mood: surely I can't be the only one?

1 Dec 2025 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

People often say they hate social media or they only use it because they 'kind of have to', which always sounded like BS to me. If that's the case why is (nearly) everyone on them? It's like p*rn. No one watches it, and yet p*rn sites are the most v...

Hot take: airplane seats shouldn’t recline the way they do

24 Nov 2025 2 minute read 4 comments LeftFooted

The view from the cheap seats ain’t bad. I have to like it. There’s no alternative. I can’t afford to fly business. I’ve only done it three times. I’m looking to change that btw. I’ve been trying to cut down on quantity and raise the bar on quality...

The US has a problem (duh)

22 Nov 2025 1 minute read 4 comments LeftFooted

The US has a lot of problems, but there's one in particular that bugs me out every time. If you travel to just about any place in the world, you sit down at a restaurant or a bar, or you walk into a store or whatever, and the price you see is what y...

I was finally able to put my Solana Seeker to good use

22 Nov 2025 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I've been using Solana Seeker since taking delivery back in August and, for the most part, I've used it as a backup phone. So far, I found a few things I like, and a few things I don't like. And one thing it does a little better than my iPhone. See...

A real estate investor and reality TV star reminded us of something we tend to forget

16 Nov 2025 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

In a podcast with Graham Stephan (yep, the guy that used to 'promote' FTX), real estate investor and reality TV star Jason Oppenheim said something simple, but something that's also true, and something that we tend to forget. Oppenheim said that the...

Am I suffering from imposter syndrome?

14 Nov 2025 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

If I look at it calmly, and coldly (is that even a word), there's a lot I can be proud of. I don't want to give too many details but the bottom line my job isn't really a job, it's fun. And i earned my way into it with no help, no background in the...

Why wouldn't you want a vegetable-shaped watch?

12 Nov 2025 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Swatch has released, on average, a new watch every five days, every week since 1983. Imagine that. Some of these timepieces were manufactured to be actually worn and used, while other models were designed to be collectible and quirky pieces. That’s...

Here's why I'm not worried about BRICS (yet)

10 Nov 2025 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

Some people, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on, are rooting against the US. I sort of get it you're from Iran or Russia or China, but I don't know why people from Europe, especially Western Europe, or even Americans themselves are doing this. I...

It’s only a good idea if people are gonna buy it (or buy into it)

9 Nov 2025 1 minute read 1 comment LeftFooted

So Cadillac is now marketing the Celestiq as a Rolls-Royce killer and selling it for $400,000, which is silly. No one’s gonna buy it at that price. No one. Cadillac has been selling Celestiq since 2024, even though the first delivery only took place...
