I’ve disappointed myself once again, dear readers. There should have been a new Cross Talk this weekend. But due to some scheduling conflicts, I wasn’t able to set up the new weekly format as I would’ve liked AND drum up the productivity needed to edit together a new episode in time for a September 18th release – it…
When I originally decided to write about the topic of “harvest,” which was a super generic move on my part, I thought by the time this Thursday rolled around I would have an answer to this question and the words would just flow like a well churned butter. Alas, I am sitting at my computer…
Ever read Peter Pan dear readers? Or watch one of the many animated and live action movies that exist? Well, there is this idea out there that Peter Pan didn’t want to grow up and so he stayed in a state of perpetual childhood. Now, in the media it’s become rather common to refer to those…
After some much needed time away from the lab these past two days, I’ve had something of a breakthrough. I realized that not every solution calls for immediate action, dear readers.

Another month, another post about The Reading List, my ever-faithful and dear readers! In case you haven’t read that article yet, which is okay, because I’ve only been writing about it once a month, I’ll give you a quick update. The Reading List Every month, I turn back to The Reading List for another book…
Today’s post, dear readers is all about keeping track of your scrapbook in a digital age, or as I like to call it… Everything you wanted to know about Pinterest, but didn’t know you wanted to know, in a thousand words or less. Way way back in roughly 1500 BC, somewhere in Mesopotamia, the tool we commonly…
