I started doing the low-carb/keto thing about two months ago, and am down about 20 lbs so far and feeling great! This one is for folks who are starting on keto/low-carb, and are looking for some great

I finally found this poem I wrote years ago to my young son; he couldn't have been more than 3 years old at the time of my writing it. He's now almost a man (well, he's turning 18 soon ;) and I couldn't

I've had the weird desire to make homemade egg drop soup recently - probably because where I live in San Diego, there just isn't great Chinese food locally, so I've been craving it. I made some tonight,

Unlike popular social media or blogging platforms—where content and activity, and for some people, a verification badge, are the best indicators of what a user is like and what quality he adds to the

I'm hardly a big player here - I don't find the time to write that often, and I have a company to run and all that, but I do try to throw a few words together when I get a chance. I have  been

Where does money come from? I mean, not only various cryptocurrencies, but money, in general? In both senses of the question - "how did the first bit of currency come online", but also "how

I hate my late-2016 MacBook Pro. I suspect the CPU-bump that came out in early 2017 was probably much nicer, but I'm going to be stuck with this box for a while. I think the reason it's so bad is that

I've been on a  bit of a curried eggs kick for a while, and have already posted my recipes for yellow and green curried eggs, so I thought I'd post the one for red as well. I'm still experimenting

About four months ago, I posted a recipe for an easy way to jazz up your scrambled eggs with yellow curry. I loved this recipe so much, I made it often, and eventually ran out of yellow curry. I did have

I’ve been in a strange place these past few months. It’s felt like I’m in limbo between my old life of working a corporate day job (perceived security, a set schedule, and structure) and a completely different

The LTE watch could be nice. Example - I decided to pop down to the beach and catch a few waves for my 'lunch break'. I couldn't leave my phone just sitting there on the beach, so I couldn't take it. An

This is the first part of the non-fiction book I am currently working on. I'm publishing it partially because if this much is out there, it will force me to actually work on it and finish it. It's not

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about the gigantic hurricane that battered the Caribbean islands and Florida, and continues to travel up the east coast, affecting as far north as the

I made the shrimp with grape salsa and pearl couscous dish from Sun Basket tonight, and while the majority of the meal was good-but-not-amazing, the grape salsa was a standout hit. It's bright, summery,

All you wanted to know about reputation A lot of users found themselves confused about what reputation is, how it is computed, how it changes, and which effect it has on what, ... I have compiled here

In my early morning’s waking dream, I found myself with my husband and son, driving together along a formless mountain pass of leaves and rocks, too close to the high cliffs’ uncertain edge. Like the fragility

No this is not a post about escaping from your children... it is about escaping with your children (although there are some days when that first one might come in handy). A few weeks ago, my family and

A stranger emailed me last year, asking if I was the same person who wrote a story called Dust in the Wind. This was completely bewildering to me, as I had written it for my 8th grade school paper back

Glass etching is an easy and fun hobby that doesn't (have to) cost an arm and a leg, and it's a great way to re-use old wine, champagne or beer bottles. You can etch most glass (not ceramic) with

To continue the steemit-meta-wankery that's all the rage here, I wanted to share some thoughts about the pros and cons I've discovered so far on Steemit.  First, a little background. I'm a techy (20+
