Episode 130 – Getting Through the World
Overview
We jump around topics more than usual today. This could mean there are just so many things to talk about or it could mean lots of things are happening. It could also mean that our regular jumbled ADD brains are in high gear.
How about talking sports? We don’t do that much, but this is different. Ohio high school has just accepted eSports as an official lettered sport.
Did you letter in a sport or would you have liked to be a part of an eSports team and get a varsity letter?
Oh, and today’s job market uses tech – especially online job boards, with Indeed being one of the biggest. Recently, more and more jobs are appearing that don’t require college degrees.
Do you have a degree and does your job require one?
We talk about making decisions and how facts and science should win out. Too often, people make a decision based on emotion or limited knowledge.
Are you diabetic and looking for a good snack? Popcorn is a great choice and Kernel Seasons can make it better.

Okay. Nice. All. Yeah, sorry that we had that little bit of blank screen there for a moment. I only have so many ports. It’s funny. One of the reasons that I still have to do anything physically is because I have on the back of my Mac mini certain ports that you like. When I use the camera, I need to have a no lag as fast as possible.
And also when I use my D V D cd, et cetera, drive it, I’ve noticed that even though I have a dongle, it has eight extended ports. Some things work well with it and some things don’t, right?
