The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class.ย

Crowdsourced

I first heard of crowd sourcing as a way to fund a business a few years ago. I spent time looking at sites like Kictstarter.com and Indiegogo.com. I found it amazing that people were willing to pay for something that hadn't yet been produced. Even more amazing was the patience...

On being funny - part 2

I would love to be funny.ย  ย 
But people only laugh when I express anger or irritation.ย 

Here is an example...

A few years ago, I was with a friend and a few other folks going to class.

We all greeted each other.
Hi.ย How are you?

There was one girl...

Nothing to say

My mind was going at very high speeds today. Woke up feeling like I had a lot of energy and I was able to get a lot done. I created a long list of things to do Sunday night and I have been executing it one by one.

It was great...

My thoughts on Echo and Narcissus writing club

I joined the class after Sir Abe invited me to it when Daniel Miller shared it. The idea was to select our favorite author and study their work. My first instinct was that it was very similar to toastmasters in setup - with the students doing the work and getting...

On being funny

So our class of 6 weeks is over.ย 
My echo was Scott Adams. My main goal was to write well and be funny.ย 

I now realize that being funny is hard.ย 

A friend suggested that I should expose myself to comedy more than I currently am. I usually read/watch drama...

People that lived VS people that survived

Ester Perel talks about the people she grew up around. Both her parents are the sole survivors of the holocaust in Belgium. She grew up around people like herself where people had horrific past in common.

She describes the people around her belonging to two groups;

Sleep

Yesterday I had the best sleep ever.ย 
There was nothing particularly different that I had done before going to bed that warranted the quality of sleep I got.ย 

I already do these things as regularly as possible:

- Eat 3 hours before bed time.
- Eat low carb especially for dinner.ย

Unpopular

I was an unpopular nerd at the University of Maryland. The library was my permanent residence. The staff knew me on a first name basis and I even had a favorite floor. The fourth floor. 
There was a section at the back of the 4th floor where it was relatively quiet....

3


I found out that a lot of personality disorders occur due to events that happen before we reach the age of 3.

That got me thinking that few of us would not have any issues based on that definition. I do not know many couples who seem to do things...

Bezos

I heard the Amazon has acquired MGM studios.ย 

When does the government stop this monopoly?
We have Amazon being a part of everything:

Online stores
Pharmacy
Groceries
Cloud computingย 
Prime entertainment

I am sure there is more that I don't know. Just like I started to fear the direction that crypto was taking, I fear the...
