A podcast with porpoise. About making widgets and have nothing else to do.

An afterschool special edition. Only not.

Between sneezes, I talk about how I'm tired of the President tweeting from the toilet.

It's been a minute. Let's catch up.

In the workplace, you're going to run into all kinds of people, and from time to time conflicts come up. So, what do you do when you have the kind of conflict that threatens to remove all professionalism from the workkplace?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a zillion ideas in your head, but the trouble is getting it out of your head and on paper. That transition is the most painful experience, because not only do you not know how to start, you’re also fighting that monster that thinks that nothing you have inside you is worth anything, nobody will like it, and then there’s it’s twin brother, the monster that fights you bringing what’s inside you to the physical world. It tells you there’s a Pay Per view on, and shouldn’t you be hosing down the cat or something? That’s why your brain hates every single time you sit down to write, and you sit there staring at a clean white screen. Worse yet, you may have even had a sentence or two on there that you’ve deleted a million times because you (or the monsters) hate it...

On deck, what’s a Sanctuary City? Nordstrom and fake mud jeans in News of Why We’re Doomed, and No, Mr. Bond, I Expect you to DRIVE.

Hey, you sick twisted freaks, It's Tuesday April 25th. On deck, I talk about an act that pathetic boychilds engage in, The return of Barack Obama, and why we encourage a certain level of douchery.

Episode 1 of The Year of the Rat.

This is probably my most ambitious experiment. For the next year I'm literally going to turn myself into a lab rat as best I can, and I'm taking you with me through the maze.

First up, one of the more important problems I'm having lately: Sleep.

On this episode, I talk about my journey from being raised Catholic to rebelling against my Catholic faith, to Finding books like Das Energi to Way of The Peaceful Warrior, to the Dhammapada, to a year of studying the Self-help gurus, to Tim Ferriss, and finally, the Stoics.
