The substance of blog posts is almost always date-specific...usually something that happened on a particular day. If you're looking for "timeless" content, head on over to Stubs, where I've started a number of posts to capture some preliminary thoughts about various topics I want to explore. (As I flesh those out, they'll turn into proper, organized posts, rather than being in a "writing stubs" dumping ground!)

Hyperthyroidism

So I guess I maybe have hyperthyroidism.

Apparently, I Have a Cat

2021-11-06 (last updated on 2021-11-25) | Edit on GitHub

I didn't get a cat. It turns out I had a cat. He came with the house. His name is Murray.

24 Hour Fitness and Their Organizational Incompetence

2021-09-30 (last updated on 2021-11-14) | Edit on GitHub

24 Hour Fitness has some of the most scattered customer service (and potential lack of scruples) I've seen yet.

Adventures in Uncling: No Negotiating

Firm and kind, I patiently explained the nature of our relationship and acting toward our mutual interest.

Overstock.com and Ceva Home Delivery

I am absolutely floored at the sheer incompetence of Ceva Home Delivery.

I was already an enthusiast of their myriad products. Their customer service earned my loyalty for life.

A firsthand experience of observing unconscious bias in action was truly eye-opening.

Microsoft Account Security

2020-06-21 | Edit on GitHub

What passes for security at Microsoft is staggeringly disconcerting.

A Sobering Krav Maga Experience

2019-11-16 | Edit on GitHub

For the first time since starting Krav Maga over 4 years earlier, I had an experience in class that was so disorienting and exhausting that I struggled to muster up the will to keep fighting.

Involuntary Nonconsciousness

2011-06-22 | Edit on GitHub

This was the first time I passed out from a "purely psychological" trigger. But regaining consciousness was the most interesting part of the experience.
