Stoicism Has Nothing To Do With Starving Yourself

Execupundit.com: Philosophy and Food. Epictetus is famous for his ability to deal with slavery, a bum leg, and numerous other life difficulties with grace and dignity. However, making choices that recognize that we can only control ourselves and our own actions does not mean that extreme dieting or extreme exercise are in keeping with Stoic philosophy. Fate is often cruel; but, it is the occurrence of events beyond our control. While we have the power to control ourselves by living extreme methods, there is nothing Stoic about it. Live intelligently. But, don't think that self deprivation makes you any more enlightened. Even on a low carb diet, I occasionally eat my favorite food, Spaghetti and Meatballs. Life is short. Enjoy it.  

#ParrotSunday - Easter Sunday Edition

What Was Found In Christ's Empty Tomb?

What Was Found in Christ%u2019s Empty Tomb?. On this Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the Risen Christ. A human being who dies, and then rises, challenges everything we think we know about science and physics and the world in which we live. Some believe the Shroud of Turin is a medieval forgery; but, the science of the carbon dating is questionable. The science surrounding the Shroud, however, is, in the opinion of many scientists, incontrovertible. Read the science, and then decide if you believe. But, even if you don't, wouldn't it be a great thing if more people in our violent, insane society, believed in love and redemption? Just sayin'.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - All Day Battery - Really

Samsung Galaxy Note 9: How good is the battery life, and how fast does it charge? | Android Central. A day at DisneyWorld is a real test of phone battery life. I even got into the habit of carrying extra batteries in the days when we could remove the backs of phones. After that, I purchased about every external battery pack made and carried one while doing the parks. The Note 9, however, is the first phone that lasts from the minute I get up in the morning until 11 at night when a Disney day is done. I use it all day for checking Disney reservations, looking up wait times with the Disney app, making and receiving phone calls, and just generally using it all the time. Just one more reason to use a Note 9 as a daily driver. It is a perfect traveler's phone, and you shouldn't leave home without it.

Bose Frames - I Am Not Alone In My Praise

Bose Frames Review: Headphones Reinvented. If this gushing review from Tom's Guide is any indication, I am not alone in my amazement at the function, quality and incredible sound of the newest augmented reality glasses from Bose. While I assumed that anything with the Bose label on it would sound fantastic, I never expected the incredible sound coming out of these sunglasses. But, wait, by adding my prescription lenses (broke the warranty, but who cares) I have a pair of glasses that I can wear every day. There are even AR apps, like navigation, that put a guiding voice in your ears as you walk around and interact with the world. These wearables convince me, more than ever, that we are headed into a future where the world of the Internet and knowledge will be in our heads forever.

Bose Smart Bluetooth Frames Rock

My Bose frames arrived this afternoon, and they were the easiest bluetooth install I have ever had. I downloaded the Bose Connect app, pressed the power button on the frames, and I am now wearing them while listening to Alan Parsons Project. No earphones. No necklace bluetooth headset. Just put on the glasses and the world of sound appears. A weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thanks to Bose and to Usemyframes.com, which installed my prescription transition lenses in the glasses. They are light, even if a little geeky looking. But, hey, I AM a geek.

Punctuation Matters

This is for all the people whose grammar and punctuation I have corrected over the years. I am trying to save you.

Moral Agnosticism And The Easter Holiday

Execupundit.com: No Contest. While it seems that there is an epidemic of moral agnosticism in our current society, Execupundit has rightly pointed out the one comparison that cannot be misunderstood, and certainly cannot be ignored. Little yellow peeps of colored sugar are the pipsqueaks of holiday eating. The rich savor of deep dark chocolate that melts on the tongue, and creates ecstasy for the taste buds is a life experience to be cherished. Unfortunately, those of us who are sugar challenged must forever keep such happiness within the confines of our dreams, while we envy those who can partake.
