When you're a kid, progress reports and report cards are a big deal. At least they were for my mom and by extension, me. Fifth grade was the first year I brought home straight A's, and I was doomed from then on out. My mom was thrilled, but little did...

I previously wrote about 40 Years of Zen. TLDR: It's an expensive, five-day brain hacking program that I won a free ticket to at the Virtual Biohacking Conference. I have official confirmation that I was indeed a winner and it wasn't some fake Brandon Wilson.

Rachel and Phoebe look great....

I was a double major: applied mathematics and psychology. One could argue that I do not use most of my math knowledge in my daily life (except perhaps rigorous and logical thinking). At least none of the math has changed. All the principles and logic embedded in algebra, geometry, trigonometry,...
