I started my blog as a means to develop my seemingly rapid and disconnected thoughts into a communicable, organized form. I also find writing is a useful exercise for building emotional resilience in sharing these thoughts with the public. I find it frightening to be so exposed, yet also exciting to see what kind of response I get from people. Plus, it’s revealing to look backward to reflect on what topics I’ve written about over time as my story unfolds.

The Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 7a – Education
We’ve finally arrived at part 7 of my 8 part series on the Peer-to-Peer Revolution where I will be talking about how education is being changed by the peer-to-peer system. As you may be aware, this is a space that I am fairly passionate about. And many other people are too. From my observation there…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 6 – News Media
Welcome back! It’s hard to believe we’re already at week 6 of my 8 part series on the peer-to-peer revolution. Mainly, it’s hard for me to believe I’ve stayed on one topic for 6 weeks straight. I’m a bit of a scatter brain as is relevant by the 2,000+ word articles I’ve been writing. To…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 5 – Entertainment
“Peer to Peer, Peer to Peer, Peer to Peer,” chants the crowd of revolutionaries as they throw rocks and empty bottles at the ivory towers… that would be a pretty cool intro to a news article. Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s fiction. While many people I’ve spoken to have warned me that you can’t…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 4 – Finance
I’ll admit, when I started covering all these aspects of the peer-to-peer revolution, I was pretty much winging it. I am delightfully surprised find myself churning out 2,000 words a week. I’ve been told your average reader has an attention span of 300 words per web page…. Yikes. It seems like every week someone tells…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 3 – Energy
In case you haven’t been following along (where have you been?!), this is part 3 of my 8 part series discussing how peer-to-peer transactions are shaping the way we use and value housing, transportation, energy, finance, entertainment, media, mental health, and education. Today, I’ll be writing about energy. While there are many different forms…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 2 – Transportation
This is part two of my eight part series titled “The Peer-to-peer revolution.” Over the course of an eight week period I will be sharing my thoughts on how peer-to-peer transactions are reshaping the world we live in. And I don’t use the term revolution simply for drama. OK, partly for drama. But I call…
Read MoreThe Peer-To-Peer Revolution: Part 1 – Housing
Over the next two months, I’m going to be writing about a magical transformation that is taking place on this planet that you may not have noticed: the peer-to-peer revolution. Like all good revolutions, this transformative change is taking place from the bottom-up: it is driven by the people, not the powerful. In fact, in…
Read MoreWhat Is The Problem With Our Education System?
What is the problem you are trying to solve? What is your proposed solution? What is your value proposition? Who are your customers? What is your revenue model? Are you a for-profit or a non-profit? Who is the end user of your product? Who will pay you to use your product? Are you sure you’re…
Read MoreHappy Gilmore the Entrepreneur
I am fortunate enough to be in a relationship with a woman who says things like “can we watch Happy Gilmore tonight?” I’ve got it pretty good. Upon hearing this request on Tuesday, however, I found myself unexpectedly worried. Why? Because: Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler? Adam Sandler. What? Yep. Adam Sandler. If you are reading this article…
Read MoreThe Declaration of Interdependence
I hold these truths to be obvious. No person is created equal and none can stand alone. Independence is an illusion. We need one another. The desire for independence is also a farce. We want to need one another. Dissecting the quest for independence requires one first to define it since it comes in…

How to write your first blog post. My first blog post will be a “how-to” article on how to write your first blog post. After following these five steps, you will be armed with all the tools necessary to begin your blogging career (just like me!). First and foremost, be as insecure and anxious as…
Read MoreMy collection of mostly physics-themed oil paintings
Around age 27, I felt like I had been so focused on engineering and science that my creativity became impaired. To balance things out, I decided to try oil painting and found I really enjoyed the process of creating something out of nothing. There’s a tendency for my subject matter to be physics related, which…
