Your Life, Your Story

Definitions and Assumptions The Source/God: a giant blob of spirit energy from which all life is created from Life/You/Spirit/Souls: we look all this from your perspective. It’s like a small ball that extends from the Source The World: think of it as single thing or basically like the Matrix. You just land somewhere…

It’s Time for Google to be Split Up

When Google released Android 10 with the Live Captions feature, I thought it would be a game changer. And I think many others like me who are deaf (or have significant hearing loss) thought so too. I immediately upgraded when it became available for my OnePlus 6, excited to see…

So I said I’d write about this but just didn’t expect it to be so soon… basically right after finishing off the last one. It’s actually 12AM right now and I’m in bed but my mind is on fire so I’m just going to let it all out. Still Getting Left Out I’ve actually…
