Daily snapshots of life as an older creator navigating art, tech, and the digital horizon. This section also houses my personal challenge to write, at least, 250+ words every single day – separate from the main blog. I’ve already missed a few days, but I’m pushing on…
— Daily Journal Entry 011 — Most of us have heard the term, or phrase, “Super Food.” One food that I think makes it to the top of the list (without much researching here) is sardines. Any form of sardines really. When I say, any form, I simply mean whether in water, extra virgin olive…
— Daily Journal Entry 010 — I’ve found over the years that I really like to use cruise control when driving. Even while driving around town in a 35-mile-an-hour zone. It just takes the pressure off of having to look at the speedometer. Unless, of course, you’re not worried about speeding. And, it’s not that…
— Daily Journal Entry 009 — I never knew what the “CAGED System” was for guitar until about four, or five years ago. I had learned the concept of E-Form and A-From barre chords many years ago, and from that learned that there were elements of chords, and chord voicings that you can move up…
— Daily Journal Entry 008 — On my “About Me” page I talk a little bit about how I was first introduced to music. That my first ever introduction was to the piano, then on to the trumpet, until finally the guitar. It was playing the trumpet in junior high that taught me how to…
— Daily Journal Entry 007 — The pocketknife is about the simplest tool there is. They come in all shapes and sizes, but I’m primarily talking about the one, or two (maybe three), blade knives that you can fold, not push a button or flick it open with your thumb. So, I’m not talking about…
— Daily Journal Entry 006 — Have you ever found yourself in a course buying frenzy, where you think to yourself, “Ya know, I better just go ahead and buy this course now before I forget about it. It’s exactly what I want to learn and I would just hate to forget about it, and…
— Daily Journal Entry 005 — Sometimes I think we forget about the benefits that come with simply getting up and moving around. Getting out of your (my) lazy boy, and just going outside to retrieve the mail from the end of the driveway can sometimes get you out of that physical and mental slump…
— Daily Journal Entry 004 — I’m a Christian that believes Jesus Christ, the Son of the Hebrew God, who sits at the right hand of the Father in the Trinity (The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost / Spirit). I also believe from having read (a little) scripture from the Holy Bible, that…
— Daily Journal Entry 003 — I mean, really, no one will probably ever read the majority of my posts, so who cares… why bother?… Well, for one, Instead of a private journal, I’d rather post (most) of what pops into my head. I guess I could do so on X, substack, and maybe I…
— Daily Journal Entry 002 — Artificial Intelligence is certainly one of those new technologies (relatively new anyway) that gets pushed on the work force without much instruction being provided on how to use it. At least, that’s been my experience with it in the federal government. Don’t get me wrong, there is training available,…
