American Culture Weirdness
February 20, 2026
I was born in the US on the far east coast state no one seems to remember called New Jersey, and I’ve lived in Colorado since 1990. I’ve been married to my Chinese-American wife for nearly a decade now and as I’ve traveled the world and spent time with her and her family, I’ve come […]

iron Condor Options Trading for Smaller Accounts
May 29, 2025
I will preface this by stating I’m not a financial advisor and do not take any of my advice without backtesting. I’ve recently been studying options trading because while my stock wins are generally a hit, it’s a slow win (as in months). Options trading allows you to move more quickly in a volatile market, […]

Modding Majesty 2
March 12, 2025
Majesty 2 is one of the most fun RTS games I’ve ever played. You cannot control units like other RTS games and instead you can encourage units to accomplish something. For example, you can add an “attack flag” to a unit or building and give a price for your heroes to attack that object. The […]

The case for “Buy it for life”
December 5, 2024
For decades I focused on buying things cheap. Clothes, phones, cars, shoes, etc. were always purchased based on the cost. But, what about the value of those purchases? Is it really worth it long term to buy everything cheap, or is it better to buy something that lasts a long time?

The Dichotomy of Consumerism vs Business Responsibilities in Climate Change
November 14, 2024
It wasn’t until Tesla hit a direct sales market that many manufacturers realized there was a consumer market for electric vehicles. Often, dealerships misled manufacturers that there was no need, and now they’ve been found to stand in the way of consumers purchasing them where companies like Ford are suing dealerships (source).
