We Talk Friday (WTF) This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might

A long, long time ago I used to play FPS - namely Ghost Recon series and Battlefield. I was pretty good at them and especially for Ghost Recon, would often get accused of cheating by people I was pwning.

I like the art of graffiti. I dislike useless graffiti. There is no art in tagging or woofshit, throw-up pieces painters on public and private property. It is worse when these shitty "artists"

I read the news from Australia and it seems that daily, there are stories of brawls and beatings, break-ins, car theft and home invasions - by children and teens. You know, the ones who can't remember

Instead of three one-to-one sessions, I ended up having five. Well, four and a half as one was only able to stick around for a bit before he went off to a meeting. However, it is good to get a couple extra

While this makes for a very long day due to travel to the middle of nowhere with relatively poor train connections, I quite like the monthly, long day away. It gives me the opportunity to chill on the

~12 to go. Puusti the Dog turned one today and I would like to say it has all been smooth sailing with him, but no - he is a bit of a dick. It isn't his fault entirely, since he is a dog. It is mostly

11 weeks to go. Everyone loves a streak and no one wants one to end - unless it is a streak of bad luck. I have my fair share of those going too, but this is no one of them. Instead, it has been 41 weeks

HIVE is up a third in the last month, and its price is still in the toilet. of course, for those stacking up at 0.035 a month ago, that is a pretty decent turn around. As always, perspective depends on

Do we all have insecurities? We aren't born with emotional insecurity, rather we collect them over time through our experiences all the way through life. But is it possible for someone to somehow miss

Know better, do better. While I often say knowing isn't doing, that doesn't mean we can't improve ourselves through knowing more today than we did yesterday. We'd still have to apply what we learn, but

One in three women born in Finland in 1997 had received disability benefits or rehabilitative psychotherapy for a mental health or neurodevelopmental condition by the age of 28 1997 is the starting year
