How to Embrace Progress

March 25, 2022 by Scott Meyer

It is an interesting paradox. You create a product that’s sole reason for existing is to take up space in packages, then you must ship it all over the world from your factory. Logically, there must be trucks, boxcars, and shipping containers traveling all over the world, transporting nothing but brand-new packing peanuts and rolls of bubble wrap.

That must be a fairly low-stress run for a trucker. No need to worry about the shipment getting damaged, and the fuel costs have to be lower than usual. It also would be a real kick in the pants for any hijacker who steals the shipment looking for stuff they can sell.

How to Be Yourself

January 07, 2022 by Scott Meyer

There have been times when I’ve been afraid, and I have muttered the following to myself:

 

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

 

Many of you probably recognize that’s a quote from Dune. Obviously, I wasn’t afraid of looking like a dork.
