Another purpose for meditation
Beyond all the usual benefits associated with meditation, apparently, there is another one that I had not heard of until yesterday--contacting extraterrestrials (ETs).Β
I watched a documentary called Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind on Amazon Prime yesterday. These contact types are as follows: Close Encounter of the First Kind:...

Avoiding the Buzz Saw
What is a buzz saw? Thankfully, Google has not censored images of buzz saws.
This week I listened to Episode 82 of The DarkHorse Podcast, a show featuring a live discussion between the husband and wife team of Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology). In this episode,...

The Consultant Code
I've been a consultant for almost seven years. I wonβt claim to be an expert, mind you. I donβt have twenty years' experience as a consultant.Β

Chapters 4 and 5

used the phrase "a precedence would be set" in reference to allowing his groodle Louie to sleep inside rather thanΒ sleep out in the cold. I am not surprised by this mentality because it is consistent with how I think about a...

SQL Course is on!
No, this isn't the SQL course that I claimed to be developing as a self-directed online course. I haven't done much work on that recently. This is the original SQL course that I developed for people who work in my role and in my field. I was waiting for permission...

Chapters 3 and 4
Pg 62 "Australian Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon by training, developed an aggressive pituitary tumor requiring surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Through his own research, he was able to stave off its progression by adopting an extremely low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet. This diet is now in trials around the world...
Riding a bike
I have a distinct memory of when I learned how to ride a bike. Mine was a bright red, single-speed Schwinn bicycle. There were no hand brakes. It was the kind of bike where you pushed the pedals in reverse to slow down. There was a Mickey Mouse bell mounted...
