An addiction I have formed over the last couple of years is the need to find new ways too look a the world. I think the best author for that is Malcolm Gladwell. I have read several of his books over the years. The Tipping Point, What the Dog Saw and Goliath.

Someone recommended to me his podcast – Revisionist History – I’ve started at the beginning and listened to three episodes so far. I have not been disappointed.

Every episode has not disappointed and I have come away seeing a different perspective on the world. I am also hoping I will change my behavior for the better with these different perspectives. I am looking forward to more episodes.

Wifi Sprinklers

This past week I was at home depot and the sprinkler controller I have been looking at for over a year had a 50% rebate. That was enough to push me to buy it. I hooked it up yesterday and it is great to be able to turn my sprinklers on and off from my phone. I haven’t even set up a schedule yet but I know it will be better than the old one.

Free Car Charging

I am driving Roman’s Leaf to work. I picked two classes to teach at SLCC this semester and working in Pleasant grove it is too far to go without charging during the day. I found there are six free charges within a 10-minute walk of the office where I am working. What a blessing. The last two days it has been raining most of the day. But I was able to walk back and forth while it was not raining.

Almost Christmas 2018

I am thankful I think my wife is sexier than ever before, but don’t tell her because she won’t believe you.

I’m thankful that 30 years ago my parents planed a dance party for me and my brother Mike for my 18th birthday.

I am thankful I like pottery and can get into a flow state almost anytime I am creating. I look forward to being a god/developer and creating worlds.

Roads and Cars

I am thankful for the roads in the United States and specifically Utah.  It’s wonderful to be able to travel when the weather is bad in relative safety.  It’s nice to be able to travel fast.   It’s hard to imagine how long it took our ancestors, and how long it takes people today in third-world countries., to travel from place to place.  It’s great we get to see so many places so quickly.
