Awesome. I love this video for so many reasons. The irony is that the guy who sent it to me has two ‘purebred’ dogs. I’ve been thinking about this topic a while as it pertains to humans. This gets pretty controversial pretty fast, but it just made me think about a comment someone I know said. Here is my best…

Global Technological and Industrial Revolutions
A fine student I know, Eric Cho, wrote this essay and I thought it was a pretty cool quick read that pretty much covers all areas of advancement that we have faced in recent history and some implications. Enjoy, and thanks, Eric! There have been several historically significant revolutions throughout the last three centuries and some that are still…
Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, Dang it!
There are some of you out there who just don’t seem to get it. You either say you don’t like coffee or you drink bad coffee – and both of these illnesses need to be cured quickly before it spreads to other innocent victims. This week, in the office lunchroom, I was privy to hear the following statement made: “That’s…
The Secret Weapon to Beat the Robots
The robots are coming! The robots are coming! They’re everywhere. They’re coming for your job, too. You can beat them and here is how. I read the title of a blog post this morning called, “How to Make Yourself Irreplaceable at Work” and the title intrigued me greatly. I started thinking about how robots could replace pretty much any job…
Need Another Reason to Vote No on Transit Referendum?
If you needed one last reason to vote ‘no’ and slow the pace that Translink turns hard earned money into a fart in the wind, read this shocking article sent to me by my friend today. Although the article is filled with other horrendous displays of the youthful, carefree spending of a crack addict, I just wanted to focus on…
Introducing Mr. Soulcase
Theologically speaking, Mr. Soulcase should probably be named ‘Mr. Spiritcase” but it just doesn’t have the same ring. The Bible says in Corinthians 2 verse 11: For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. People without faith in…
How to Fix a Viciously Frozen Ubuntu Machine
Although it’s always better to run Ubuntu on a new machine and experience the lightening fast way that it relates to new hardware, if you happen to have an old machine upon which you have installed Ubuntu 14.04 you may have experienced a nasty freeze after you login. I spent many hours trying this and that. I guessed it was…
Weird Bug Fix for Crashing Owncloud Client on Ubuntu 14.04:Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
Not that most of you are going to ever see this or care, but as for me, I just spent about 6 hours over the last few weeks trying to resolve it so I hope as a public service this will help someone both fix their client and save some time! Background: My Ubuntu owncloud client was working just fine…
Procaffeinating – Definition Corrected and Expounded
You may have seen this most excellent image floating around the webs: I thought it was pure genius and if I had the energy or time, I’d probably track down the source and give them credits but that kind of work is for previous generations. Also, I couldn’t find any detailed expounding on this new and most excellent word. Also,…
Great Article to Quickly Review Our Financial and Investment Literacy
This is a great article to quickly reveal how much we *don’t* know about $$ and what we need to do. Thanks to my friend Paul who forwarded this article to me. I think these are most painful to me because I remember sitting there in high school having a classmate explain to me the importance of compound interest and…
