I Made That Same Mistake: October 2012

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Monday, October 22, 2012. A CEO as President. Though I know there is an unemployment problem, but I’m sure I’m not the only one in America that works for a large publicly-traded company. After that debate - all of them, really - I want to say what I think we’re all thinking…. So what happens when the thing you’re running is the very thing that is the safety net? As I said, you can’t layoff an American Citizen.

I Made That Same Mistake: A Citizen of Earth

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-citizen-of-earth.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Monday, March 31, 2014. A Citizen of Earth. Sitting here in the temporary housing I call home, I’ve been forced to grapple with a few things after having been working here for exactly one day. Here, in list form, and in no particular order, are my first observations…. As I drove around for the first day here, listening to the CBC, I heard a long story about the 100. You may be asking…. I imagine all of the people t...

I Made That Same Mistake: June 2014

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Friday, June 13, 2014. Please, Mom, Don’t Read This. This is when I said to myself, “oh, I turned the key off.” I reached over, put it into neutral (as it would need to be to restart), cranked it over, put it up into drive and floored it before the car behind me caught up. How did I figure that out? Is there a lesson in here? Certainly not. And regardless, it is only one side of the story. Scott the Suburban Farmer.

I Made That Same Mistake: A Resolute New Year

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-resolute-new-year.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. A Resolute New Year. Welcome to the end of 2013, dear Reader. As I sit watching the snow fall gently on the City, I think back to all of the changes this year has brought. I bought a new house, got married, but most importantly, I joined Facebook. I mean that as sarcastically as possible. That too, actually. My fortunes were incredible this year. Someone chose me. I chose her, too.

I Made That Same Mistake: November 2012

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Thursday, November 15, 2012. A slow kind of death. Sometimes, one hears a phrase so goddamn terrifying that you freeze up, your mind reels imagining the sick consequences, and you fight the urge to drive your car into the bridge abutment coming at you at 82 miles per hour. Wouldn't it be funny if I didn't hear something like that at all and I just start talking about ice cream or something? Most did. Probably b...

I Made That Same Mistake: September 2012

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Our Language is Broken. Ok, but let's start assuming that line exists. How do I know where I fall on that line? Let's try that. My principle is that we should protect life. Easy principle, right? What is there, then? Here again I need to interject an assumption: I assume we need government. I see government as, essentially, a union that all Americans are part of (taxes are dues? It's ...

I Made That Same Mistake: January 2013

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Sunday, January 13, 2013. When I was almost shot. I think of this line from one episode of The Simpsons, where Moe rushes into a mob gathering and he says something like "Wow, this is the second most number of guns I've ever had pointed at me." That's funny. So picture this: I'm standing at the line at the desk where they check your passport (this is after 18 hours of flying, so I look and feel my very best). A...

I Made That Same Mistake: A Seven Year Old Question

http://imadethatsamemistake.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-seven-year-old-question.html

I Made That Same Mistake. If I don't write this stuff down, I'm sure I'll break it again…. Sunday, February 23, 2014. A Seven Year Old Question. Ultra-Pasteurization, or Ultra High Temperature Pasteurization, rendered the milk shelf stable for a long time, provided it was in a well-sealed container and protected from light, preventing oxidation. This cut the cold chain out, save the refrigerated silos prior to processing and the need to refrigerate after opening. Green, huh? At first blush, I thought so.
