Today’s Ted Talk discusses Veteran Suicide. As you’ll hear, the numbers of veterans who take their lives compared to the number of veterans killed in action is staggering. I won’t ruin this, you’ll have to watch it. This is an informative and appropriate video considering the Memorial Day holiday yesterday.
If you have any veterans in your family that are having trouble, get them help, before it’s too late.
Until next time…

As we begin to see various parts of the world reopen after mandatory lockdowns, it is still interesting to learn about how virus tests are used and what they find. Check out this short video that explains the tests used to determine if someone is infected or has been infected. Enjoy!

Being a night owl has enormous advantages to the work I do. I write, I read, I code, and I research. It’s best for me to do these things when I can’t sleep (between 12 am and 3 am), because the others in the home are in bed. No interruptions, it’s very quiet, and again, no interruptions.
I enjoy watching videos and reading papers about sleep patterns and here is one that may explain why this time works for me (I’m definitely a night owl) and why my schedule may not work for someone who is genetically disposed to being an early bird. I hope you enjoy the short video below. It’s pretty informative.
Have a great Tuesday!
Until next time…

Since most of us are concerned about the coronavirus, here’s a quick hit on how vaccines work. I like little videos like this because they don’t eat up a lot of your time, but still pack a punch. Enjoy!

There is a lot of stress out there. So many people are not used to being locked in their homes, only to go to the grocery store or some other critical venture. Here’s a Ted Talk that will give you some ideas on “How to Make Stress Your Friend.” Enjoy!

I’m mixing it up this week and providing a TED talk from Robert Waldinger, who talks about insights he learned from the longest study on happiness ever conducted. The results are both simple and surprising simultaneously. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. I hope all of you are having a great Tuesday!
Until next time…

In light of my work at Codecademy, I figured some of you would be interested in the first episode of Think Like a Coder. If you like it, you can watch the other 9 episodes. They are entertaining and informative. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Until next time…

Don’t you just love memes? I know I do. When someone on my Facebook feed puts a good meme, it’s hard not to laugh myself to tears. Check out this short video on why these have become part of the 21st century lexicon.
Until next time…
