I completely relate to this. At 41 years old, I met my life's goal, a goal I never thought I would attain (and it's not wealth). Rather than be empowering and celebratory, that turned out to be debilitating, taking me years, until

Sounds like people in a specific country, dislike a specific implementation. Clickbait. In my country, we have and love EMRs. They enable me to change health authorities at will, as I move cities. They enable me to carry nothing, anywhere -

Spotify is something that I'll pay for, forever - even in my grave. The thing is it's an absolutely horrible service, with a rubbish application, amazingly across all platforms. But their catalogue is incredible. I keep trying to

It's important for each of us to do our part. It's even better when we help others do theirs. But, we really need to not lose sight of the fact that the (extreme) majority of pollution is industrial, and private outsized use. It&#

Going to have to call bollocks there. I first did this as a kid, with my dad when I was 8. I joined a bunch of folks at a movie theatre on Bloor, in Toronto, in 1993, right after I moved there in August. Though, where I grew up we called i

I disagree actually. I find it cleansing, and helps me keep new ideas alive. I view this as the reverse of doing nothing, it's rebuilding inspiration. Projects and companies come and go .But the focus value from this I find invaluable.
