As we sit here perched unsteadily on the cusp of January 1, 2026, we can take a moment and look back at the accomplishments of 2025. The year started off with a bang, as President Trump made the traditional

By now I'm sure many of you have seen the (censored) clips of the woman who was set on fire as she slept in a subway car. I'm not about to be politically correct and describe the miscreant using the preferred

I've been blogging for quite awhile now, before Hive and even "BS" before Steemit. I've picked up a few tips along the way and one of the things I've learned is that presentation matters. I was

In these the waning days of the "old" year, I'm hearing a lot of people planning New Years resolutions to begin sometime next year. As for me, 2025 is NOW. I've had this feeling since the summer

It's dark outside and late in the evening here on the east coast as I write this post (which I wasn't going to write, but we'll get to that). The sounds of voices in conversation combine with the booming

Remember when the Bitcoin price was at 16K and everybody was preaching doom and gloom about crypto? That was just a few short years ago, and it illustrates the value of having a long-term mindset and the

I read an article today on Yahoo! News today about New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski (better known as "Gronk"). It shared how in 2014 he acted on a tip from his contractor and bought $69,000

A few days ago I hit the mark I'd been aiming for as a year-end goal on Hive. During the many challenges I've had IRL, I wanted to claw my way back to building my hive power to at least 500HP before the

Today is Veterans Day in the USA. formerly known as Armistice Day, on this federal holiday we honor those that fell in battle, and support those that are still fighting for survival today. I've been connecting

In my last post I said I would be shocked if Trump won the election, and I am. The scale of his victory was astonishing, far exceeding anything that I had imagined. With the daily drumbeat of negative

In this the latest of my election-themed posts, I'm sharing not a prediction per se, but just some thoughts on one timeline of how I think the election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will turn

We're just a few days out from what I think will be a close election that will impact he lives of Americans regardless of who wins. One of the things that I think people are paying way too much attention

If you've been reading my Life posts for awhile, you know that I'm seen as having a quaint and unusual moral foundation. To me it's what I assumed everyone had when I was a boy until I found out otherwise.

If you've been reading my posts over the years, you'll know that I'm a longtime Apple fanboy. From back in the day when I would rush home to catch the latest 'Stevenote' I've been awed by the amazing products

One of the benefits of being here since the inception of the old Steemit days, is you get to see the evolution of the community over time. And what I've seen is that we've grown into a rich and vibrant
