Morgan Housel on Finance “Finance is overwhelmingly taught as a math-based field, where you put data into a formula and the formula tells you what to do, and it’s assumed that you’ll just go do it.” Morgan Housel on How Collective Trial and Error Hasn’t Improved Personal Finance “Through collective trial and error over the…

July 1st, 2026 This is the kind of amazing human being that Audra Miller is. This is why she should be a superstar and not just singing in a cover band. … I’m making a new Instagram account for the podcast/newsletter. It’s time. https://www.instagram.com/ameliadesertsong … I’m going to see MY QUEEN ELLA LANGLEY in Gilford…

June 1, 2026 Ant Ortiz did a rule 5 draft only rebuild. And the problem with these rebuilds is your team has all 0 overall players. Meaning one team will inevitably be farming you for ridiculous statistics. Because his team is the Rockies, the Dodgers ate his team for breakfast and Shohei broke basically every…

November 2, 2025 I like this gal Anu Atluru that Sari is interviewing. This post tells me a lot already: “the hard skills are getting softer and the soft skills are getting harder.” Yeah, that’s about right. I was saying to Emily this morning that tradespeople (which include her by the way) are becoming less…

September 22, 2025 I’ve still been writing plenty. I need to have some constant. I really need to get around to the mini courses. Road maps for your curiosity, I guess I could call them. Focus on the process, not the end goal. But sharing my learning journey, in itself, might be enough. I’m still all about actionable…

August 9, 2025 It took me until around 8am to get up today. I wandered around trying to figure out where all my cards were. I even went into the basement and realized none of them were down there. Apparently, everything I have left is in a single blue tote in the front room. This…

May 1, 2026 Today Emily told me that it “feels like reality is slipping.” I replied that I don’t think there’s a shared reality anymore. People will blame AI but I don’t think that’s even really it; I think that this hyper-individualistic society has finally done most of the population in, by making them so…

April 1, 2026 I’m somewhat better today, not well enough to do much mental work as the head cold half of my illness is preventing focus. I’ve been sucking at ball games so it’s nothing but world of warships and Fortnite for me today. I did get some more article archiving done at least, but…

August 1, 2026 This is Rosie Mac who is replacing Addie as the lead singer in the indie hard rock band, Halocene. Quite a change, but I really like Rosie and am excited to see what her voice brings to this 20-year old musical project. … https://www.odbm.org/en/devotionals/devotional-category/remembering-who-we-are?ts=1780790400000 Today we read about Miss Ruth. “The story…

March 1, 2026 It’s a new month and this typically means a reflection on the past month. Well, the first two months of this year have been so cold and freezing that I’ve basically been stuck inside, and too much inside my own head. I’ve gotten a lot of writing done, explored a lot of…

February 1, 2026 It’s a new month and my strategy for January to mostly rest I think was overall successful. I only finished one book the whole month, poked relentlessly at my journal compilation project, and dealt with endless frustration with both physical and mental health. It wasn’t a great month; not a loss, but…

January 1, 2026 Merriam Webster’s word of the day is amortize. We have two definitions of this transitive verb: One, “to pay off (an obligation, such as a mortgage) gradually usually by periodic payments of principal and interest or by payments to a sinking fund.” At this juncture, I have no more amortizations of this…

May 1st 2025 My card for today is fitting: Nine of Sea reversed I’ve gotten this before and it’s definitely on point. The Mystical Cats Tarot guidebook reads: “Do you believe you deserve happiness? Do you truly believe that the universe holds goodness and joy for you? The unwillingness to express your wishes and set…

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time, and certainly the best on economics. I thought Morgan Housel’s book was good, but this one went so much deeper and more in depth about the real problems facing our world. And I agree with about 95 percent of what she says,…

I became intimately familiar with Whitney Hanson’s poetry recently, thanks to an Instagram reel I was shown by the Algorithm. I IMMEDIATELY pre-ordered her newest poetry book “the love of my life” and it arrived on the evening of its release day, July 7th, 2026. It showed up while I was taking a much needed…

BTW I met this girl at a free show at Big Bar in Erie, PA around St. Patty’s day last year. I have one of those hoodies she’s got there. She handed it to me. Best night of my life. … “We’re numb to our own knowledge.” It’s lines like that which make Anna Corinne…

I am wide awake, YES, Like Katy Perry. So I may as well get up and be productive at getting my geese in a row. … Gorgeous girl and I am sure her story is far too common with a much less desirable ending. … The universe told me to listen to album 1, track…

On this day June 28, 2026, around midnight, I finally broke the many-layered mask I wore over my true personality for over thirty years. It took a lot of hard work over the past three weeks, but I finally have become the Phoenix I was intended to be. I’ve rediscovered my true voice. I am…

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARIANA GRANDE! I LOVE YOU! This is really sweet from her bro: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1sEkwb9-tWd4ADKVjIFpje8ciPiKq8YU … I woke up with my favorite song by The Killers stuck in my head. Oh yeah, guess who has an amazing cover of that song? … Also, the first video in my suggested feed? Perhaps the greatest…
