  • What's Your Money Worth?

    In this episode I take a look at the

    history of currency. Why do we need money anyway and just what is
    value? I also frame this philosophical questions in the current
    global finical crisis. What went wrong and what can we as consumers
    do to stop this from happening in the future? Being smart with money
    is yet another thing we can do to make life/the world suck less.


    Some strong language again in this one;

    listener discretion is advised.

  • Spring of The Mind (Making Life Suck Less)

    In this episode I take the desire for

    consequence and meaning discussed in previous episodes and discuss
    how we can find these things in the struggle to make life better or
    suck less depending on your proffered phrasing. I mention the
    importance of setting realistic gaols and doing all in your power to
    make you life suck less.

    Some strong language in this one again;

    listener discretion is advised

  • Not Quite Hippie and What is This Life Thing About Anyway?

    This episode starts out with me expressing annoyance over

    the "green” movement. The conversation evolves to include questions like: What
    is meaning? And, can the existence or lack thereof of god be proven? It is an intriguing
    evolution to say the least.

     

    Adult language worked its way back into this one so listener

    distraction is advised.

  • The Quest For Adulthood

    In this episode I talk about what I term as the philosophical

    quest for adulthood. I propose that this quest is inspired by the desire to do something
    of consequence while being hindered by the necessity to accept consequence
    whilst proceeding through the quest. Although this is a complete episode, intuition
    and download records tell me that this is but the start of my topic exploration.

     

    Music in this episode includes:

  • I Wish I were an Englishman or Something of That Accord

     

    In this episode I explore my lack of patriotism. Is it good? Is it bad? Does it really matter if I have respect for the current President? Are other countries doing things better? Is the US doing things better than other countries? Why did we revolt against the English government anyway?

     

    Once more, there is some adult language in this episode; listener discretion is advised.

  • The Quest For Adulthood Preamble Maybe….

    This episode was inspired by a Facebook Note, of all things.

    The focus is the relation between age and life accomplishment or maturity. I
    attempt to dispel the myth that these two factors are related in any large
    fashion with a special emphasis on the correlation between the age of twenty-three
    and the perceived notion of entry into true adulthood.

     

    No strong language in this one; unless, of course, you

    consider "hell, damn or crap” to be strong language. But, if that's the case
    you are probably too close minded to be listening to my podcast anyway. Being
    open minded is good.

     

    My life number as of this post:

    18,011 Days till Friday, July 12th, 2058 as of March 20th,

    2009

     

    8,936 Days since Sunday, September 30th, 1984 (Update Daily

    @ 1215 PDT)

     

    Total Life Span Expected 26,947 Days*

     

    33.16% of expected life span has expired.

     

    *Projected date of death based on the algorithm of

    Deathclock.com  

     

    To ramble anymore would be a wait of life so I say thank you

    Katie. Send me emails with comments. Nicnacjak at gmail dot com.

     

    Enjoy your life,

    Nicolas

  • Education Quest

    In this episode, I share my current quandary over my educational

    inadequacies, desires and my current lack of career success. In this economic
    climate, how does one determine if further education is required? If such a determination
    can be made, what guarantee is there that further education will pay off?       

     

    I also explore my educational history and ponder over mistakes

    I've made along the way. This is quite an interesting journey, as I approach
    the tenth anniversary of my freshman year of high school.

     

    If you have comments, please send me an email nicnacjak at

    gmail dot com. As is now usual, this episode contains adult language; listener discretion

  • Being Googled

    In this episode I go for the quintessential "look how

    much technology has changed our lives in the last 20 years" rant. I marvel
    at the vulnerability of Microsoft and the contestant operating system debate
    among computer users. I also wonder how Google makes it money; can Adsense be
    doing it all? I also visit the topics of Wii controls, 3D games, and GPS in
    aviation.

    Once again this episode contains some strong language so listener discretion is
    advised.  

    Please send me feedback nicnacjak at gmail dot com.

  • Rethinking Sanity

    I start off this episode by ranting about the TSA and their proposed "Large Aircraft Security Program”. I submit that the TSA stands in sharp contract to the principles put forth by the fourth amendment. I go on to promote the wonderful world of General Aviation and emphasize the negative impact that the Large Aircraft Security Program would have on this wonderful world.

    I also mention that today (February 20th, 2009) marks Kurt Cobain's 42nd Birthday and comment on his work and the grunge alterative culture that is now is now ingrained in Seattle, The Emerald City.

    Once more there is some “adult” language in this one so listener discretion is advised. Comments are welcomed via the email address nicnacjak at gmail dot com.
