The problem with the world today is people never get their comeuppance. #life

It’s nice when someone does something nice for you. Do something nice for someone. #life #success

Haters and users believe that if they are in a group of like-minded people that they are among friends. Haters and users tend to turn on one another. #fascist #life #failure

Hm. No traffic today. It must be the end of the world. Maybe we can get a fresh start and clean up the mess that was left by haters and users.

You are a bacon of hope.

Just because it’s July 4th don’t forget that it is actually Independence Day here, and this year whole swaths of citizens have lost a lot of independence due to SCOTUS. #july4

Meterage is a cool word few, if any, use.

No, I’m not complaining. Just pointing out the assumptions people either make or fail to. #writing

Assume you sell your book for $10 which for most people is considered expensive. Assume the author spent a year working on the book (optimistic). Calculate the dollars per day. #writing

Why is it when I show a copy of my book to someone they invariable ask, “Are you giving it to me?” They wouldn’t do that if you showed them your car. People undervalue books and writing. #author #writing #books

If Apple Watch will be able to detect whether you have a fever or not, I see this as a big plan to build the infrastructure for detecting and analyzing disease: heart rate/pattern, O2 levels, and temperature are key. Apple still needs BP & glucose. #disease #apple #neuralnet
