Today, I was shopping instead of crafting. I was shopping mainly for crafting supplies, though. This happened because I tried to put air in my tires, but the gas station air compressor was out of order, so I had to go to another one. And then another one, because that one was also broken.

Seriously, why is kid’s fashion even a thing?
Before I start, I’d like to discuss a bit of semantics. I typically try to use the terms “believe”, “think”, and “know” to indicate varying levels of certainty. Obviously, “know” is the highest level, where I have no reasonable doubt. “Think” is in between, indicating that I’m fairly sure I could back up whatever I’m … More What Do You Believe?
Too much crafting…
For today, I’m sharing a great short post by JT Eberhard. As he says, “I am an Atheist. You can ridicule me. You can torture me. You can kill me. But you don’t have to!

Stanislaw Burzynski failed you.
I have a friend in town who I haven’t seen in a while, so rather than managing my time wisely, I spent the morning eating fried chicken and learning about biology on Khan Academy and will be spending the evening hanging out. This actually works out well, as I want to share a rather lengthy … More We Are All Confident Idiots
