In writing up how young people take for granted recent discoveries and inventions, I collected some to help understand how almost everything in our world is under 200 years old. We are just beginning to understand the world around us and beyond.
It was only seven years from discovering that nuclear reactions can occur until the first nuclear explosion. We take it for granted that we can get DNA testing done, but that was first done in 1986.

This document describes the motivation for creating a new political party, named based on a recent appearance by former president 45.
This short essay was inspired by noticing that popular music in the 1960s was very brief, like under three minutes per song. Why? Short attention span?

This essay is being expanded into a book, so I have stopped updating this post. I’m leaving this draft as a tease…
I was inspired to capture personal observations and first hand accounts of some culture and technology changes from the 1950s to the 1990s. It has grown from a few pages to over 30! The topics covered include: Smoking, Gasoline, Socialization, Race and Religion, LGBT Issues, Telephones, Radio, Ham, and CB, Television, Games, Photography, Bicycles, Aviation, Music, Money, Calculators, Typing, Computers, Networking and The Internet, Computer CPU Technology, Computer Hard Drives, Motherboards and Buses.
I’ve struggled to memorize biology, anatomy, physiology, and related healthcare concepts. I’ve collected my tips to help students in those areas.
Golf assumes you know a lot about it, there’s a lot of assumed knowledge. I’ve seen many people who are interested in golf but don’t know where to begin.

It’s time to put world history into perspective with over 1040 entries from the present back to the start of the universe. This table covers everything from formation of the planet, creation of continents, first life forms, human evolution, ancient civilizations, technologies (tools, metal ages), domestication of animals, legal foundations, famous/infamous rulers, astronomy, natural disasters, sports, and world population trends.
After following several politicians on Twitter and Facebook, I got tired of pointing out the same flaws in their arguments or rants or conspiracy theories.
I assembled a collective response to the common flaws in a 15-page document, with over 90 references to show I’m not just making stuff up.
Enjoy!
