Are Payday Loan Businesses Evil?
I have been looking into the payday loan business. It intrigues me both as an entrepreneur but even more so on the ethics side. There is a serious stigma associated with payday loan businesses that they are evil and help to ruin lives. This is a broadcast about our local city Burnaby showing the same thing: that we must unite…
Are LED bulbs worth it?
Are LED bulbs worth it… yet? I’m pondering the question. This blog post is simple. I want to make sure I don’t lose the best post I’ve seen on the topic so that I can come back to this and finish my study! I will conclude my thoughts on the matter after I actually cross that bridge. Here is the…
Origins of April Fools (All Fools Day) Day
April Fools day has thrown me off since I was a kid. I thought it was quite irrational if not ‘wrong’ that there would be a day when you could trick (a.k.a. lying) your parents and do pranks and not get in trouble. I noticed people also enjoyed tricking me. For me it was the only day of the year…
What to Say and What Not to Say
Over the last few years it has been interesting to learn just how little we all know about law, and more specifically, freedom of speech. 2013 and 2014, if I could summarize, would be for me ‘The Legal Years’.

When we went away for a week and came back, I realized that our house was, just by existing, using an average of 4 KWH per day. That’s actually a lot although I’ve not come up with a good analogy. So, I started thinking about whether…

The Meaning of the Name Wayne
I have been packing this cheesy little postcard thing around with me my whole life because it has always astounded me at how well it describes me. If it weren’t for this 1970’s dollar store cheap print, I would have probably legally changed my name back to “Daniel” – a name my parents were apparently about to give me before…
