Here’s a whimsical sculpture I made out of clay. I call it “the man and his son”.

My entertainment system setup
I’d set it up like this for a decade but recently after replacing my age-old a/v receiver, I had another look into the hookups and scrubbed it a bit more…made it cleaner and better (audio, video) connections. I also decided to document the wiring this time, so next time (could be years from now, I […]
Break Time! Financial Advice…
Howdy! This time I’ve decided to share something from others…not my own blog, or writing…for you, my readers because I think the advices were really good. The question was posed by a Millennial who’s wondering what financial aspects to consider as he’s venturing into buying his first house. The answers and attribution are below. I’m […]
Break Time! Geeks Making It Big!
These guys from architecture and math background (wonky!) created beautiful music. Let’s listen and enjoy the simplicity of the notes as well as the creativity of the video (unfortunately, YouTube removed all the official videos, so you’ll have to go pay for it). You don’t have to like it…you just have to understand.
Break Time! Edmonds, WA Video 2019
Here’s a short clip of the blowing wind on the cat-tails and the windchime-like sound coming off the metal ropes from the yachts docked next to it, today in January 2019. It’s at Edmond beach marina in WA state. Turn up the sound to hear clearly. Taken by a simple phone. Cheers!
If A=2, B = 10, C=30, D=68. what is E?
Hi again, time for a break 🙂 Fun little quiz, nothing to lose your sleep over because you can solve in a minute or two if you think about it, and it’s NOT a trick question. It has a definitive answer. The problem: If A=2, B = 10, C=30, D=68. what is E? (Assuming A-Z […]
How many thirds in a 3-quarter?
Recently Quora notified me with this question and I thought I’d do the honor of answering it first. So here’s the answer and explanation. Now, how about a different way solving it? Put another way, we can pose the problem as 1/3x = 3/4 and solve for x. If 1/3 = 0.333 (approx.) Then the […]
Elementary Math Quiz
If (x+x+x) = x*x*x and x <>0 (x is not zero) then what’s the value of x? I like this one a lot because x=0 would be an obvious answer and it’s taken away, and then when you plot it, you get 2 correct answers. Let’s see how it’s done… (x+x+x) = x*x*x so, 3x=x^3 […]
Welcoming 2019 (Seattle)
Howdy, today (first day of 2019) I want to share with you these video clips from the Space Needle light and fireworks show on new year’s eve of 2018. Video’d from my living room and uploaded to YouTube…funny how within seconds, some company claimed copyright on these in my living room 😀 Capitalism at best! […]
Different approach to NYE in Seattle
…in 25 years! So we were told. The lighting will be different, the Space Needle will appear to be “dancing” with the lights. Naturally, being in Seattle for over 2 decades, and having seen all the contraptions of the past, I was curious to check it out. Weather was perfect, 35 F, no rain, no […]
