Use Your Words

And yet, we are so often constrained by it and use it as a measure of accomplishment. Take this post, for instance. I had intended to write it and share it on the first day of the new year. But, sadly, demands on my time carrying over from the previous year meant that I didn’t quite get to it until now.

So, I guess I've gotten popular somewhere because I see someone banging on my WordPress security.  They keep getting locked out though because they're assuming that the default username is "admin", so they're never going to guess that password.  I do hope they give up sooner rather than later, though, because I'm getting tired of the 20-minute and 24-hour lockout emails telling me that they've been unsuccessful in trying to brute-force the password.

I’m feeling a little burned out this week.

I'm no stranger to getting things done in spite of being depressed.

Mental health is serious, but we can still have fun with it.

If it's done well, there's an opportunity to help people.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

This has been more effective than anything else.

Like a lot of middle-aged men, I've put on a few pounds, and the pandemic lock-down, which had me working literally steps from my kitchen, hasn't helped either. When I was younger, I actually worked out quite a bit and was able to mostly keep my weight in check. I did try to eat healthily and not overindulge in anything, but I really put my weight down to being very active. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, I find that I can't keep the weight off as well with just exercise.

Solar power has come to represent hope in science fiction, and climate change.
