Everyone is tired. Weekly Recap 6/15/2026
After reconnecting with many friends this past weekend, it seems the general consensus is that folks are low on evergy. To the common question of “how are you?” or “how have you been?” the overwhelming response was: “tired.” So yeah. By and large, I think we are all dealing with a little bit extra in…

Questioning reality is healthy… Weekly Recap 5/25/2026
If you don’t make a frequent habit of questioning your own reality, then honestly… what are you doing with yourself? Dreams, visions, meditations, spiritual reflections… these can all shake up our perception or even blur the lines of what’s real, but I think the most poignant moments for me center around deja vu. And I…

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise… Weekly Recap 5/18/2026
I’m sure I have a somewhat typical answer to this question, but if I could watch any movie over again for the first time, it would probably be Fight Club. I watched it as a kid—probably younger than I really should have. The ending took me by complete surprise… in fact, I don’t think I…

New information is almost always motivating… Weekly Recap 5/11/2026
The beauty about learning new things is that a small amount of fresh information is almost always interesting. Maybe that information is about the Gimli Glider or the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars—it doesn’t matter… it can be anything. I’ll bet you click on at least one of those links to find out what they are.…

Three fads from yesteryear… Weekly Recap 5/4/2026
Why is childhood marked with fads? Maybe it’s a new game, a clothing style, or a collectible item—something catches the attention of kids (perhaps a few adults, too) and they all become obsessed with it. Labubu… Pop-Its… Funko Pops… fidget toys of all kinds… I can now safely say I’ve been immune. And at this…

A Year in Review: 2025 – 2026
It happens every year—both my website and I turn one year older. I know what you’re thinking… something like, “Aerik, of course that happens. Aging naturally occurs for all things. It’s just how time works.” But you’re missing a key detail: both of these “birthdays” happen in the same month: April! Also, time is a…

It’s easier to fool people… Weekly Recap 4/27/2026
Someone once said: “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” The quote is usually attributed to Mark Twain, though there’s no real evidence to support that. Despite not knowing for sure where it came from, it’s still a great quote. Now, it’s certainly not something I “live my…

Be kind, please unwind… Weekly Recap 4/20/2026
Does anyone remember renting movies? No, no… I don’t mean “renting” a temporary streaming copy. I’m talking about physical movies. And not DVD’s or Blu-rays. Like… a VHS tape. Tapes had to be rewound before you could watch them again. You were supposed to rewind your rented videos before returning them to the rental company.…
