Honestly, this season’s OWL has been super fun to watch. I’m a huge Gladiators fan and never miss a match (I’m from LA so bite me!). Atlanta Reign have been killing it, Washington Justice surprised me vs the Shock the other day. Yeah, there’s some 3-0verwatch every now and again. But when the games are back and forth… Read more
You also have to keep in mind that the Romulans didn’t really have a very stable government. We know from TNG that the Romulans military and Tal Shiar don’t trust each other. In DS9, there’s political maneuvering and backstabbing between Romulans politicians. The in Nemesis, Shinzon killed the Romulans Senate with the… Read more

I can’t stress this enough...do background checks and always hire SMART/DEDICATED people. At the end of the day, YOU are responsible for your employees actions. Fire often and early.

I want to move to Costa Rica!! Saving up now to buy there. The dream clock is ticking haha.
Down payment on condo. Fingers crossed bitcoin keeps going up!
This comes up in Star Trek VI as well. After hearing of the Klingon’s plight some members of Star Fleet suggest that it would be the perfect time to strike, while the Klingon’s were “on their knees” Read more
We are saving to pay off our house. We feel that we can pay it off in two years. We have budgeted in all of our bills along with gas and food. Every two weeks we take out $60 apiece to spend on random crap and the rest of our money goes toward our house. Once we have that paid off, we will have zero debt!
You know, as much as people keep talking about how Starfleet has become darker and the Federation in general has lost its utopian nature, I keep noticing how the setting wasn’t really ever as “utopian” as people seem to think. I mean sure, DS9 really foregrounded some of the less savory elements of the Federation, and… Read more
Currently saving up a down payment for a new car - I’m about halfway there and hoping to have the rest by summer when the 2020s go on sale. Read more
i’m saving up to find a helper for my mom, who’s had some health problems over the years. my younger brother has been watching/living with her, and I want to give him his freedom back while making sure she’s OK.
to go to Colombia with my fiancee. no emails, no slack messages, no nothing!
hm, as a freelance photographer/DP, I’d use it to build a financial safety net when work goes through a dry spell (unfortunately the nature of the game). IF work is going well, though, and I feel ok splurging on myself a bit, I’d head to the beaches of Honduras, where my family is from (and I haven’t been since I was… Read more
Yes! Also, when you find good recruiters that contact you, and you take the call, be their friend. I know so much about my recruiters life. We talked about personal stuff for TWO years before she found me a job. Many people would think that’s a waste, but then I got an amazing job offer at startup. Six years later… Read more
Great advice. Also keep in mind, that at the end of the day, you are a replaceable commodity to your employer. If they can find better/cheaper/faster employees, or your job becomes redundant, they will not hesitate to replace you. Always keep your head on a swivel. No company is TRULY loyal to an employee, so don’t… Read more
You have to remember that nothing is permanent and work as if you are a private contractor. Provide solutions to your employer as if you are a smaller company within a larger. Pay attention to how much your company’s budget, internal conflicts that both benefit and hamper your goals. Thinking as a business owner… Read more
Super cool!!! I wonder if TEMI can help me pick out outfits?!
The modular TV tech is very cool. It brings the ‘video wall’ much closer to reality and makes you think about how it may become as much about displaying art, information and the outside, as it does about watching TV.

The higher carrier frequency brings less penetration power. This requires end-point re-transmission systems to penetrate walls, minimize reflection and avoid signal cancellation. Its wireless properties also make it vulnerable to malware attacks that have unforeseen consequences. Tread carefully my high-tech friends.… Read more
