⤷ How Playing Monopoly Can Teach You About Real Estate and Cash Flow ●

Crazy statistic in here: “Meanwhile, our household debt as a per cent of net disposable income is at 182 per cent compared to 105 per cent in the U.S.” Someone told me once that living through 18% interest rates was the hardest thing of their financial lives. I’m starting to think a combination of 2% interest rates and 52% tax rates is even worse.

⤷ Please Print ●

I appreciate Patrick’s reminder to print in your journal. Longevity is important. I do admit though, I don’t feel like I have enough time in the day to get all my thoughts down in a pen and paper format, so I default to typing because it’s faster.

⤷ The Miracle Sudoku ●

I understand this video is 25 minutes long, but the moment the Sudoku Master begins to realize the puzzle is possible, you’ll be sucked in for good. So much fun to watch.

⤷ Keyboard University ●

I’m continuing my rabbit hole digging today. In all likelihood, I should have started with Keyboard University yesterday, but here we are. ABS, PBT, doubleshot, dye-sublimation…. my head is spinning.

⤷ A Brief Introduction to Mechanical Keyboard Switches ●

Today’s rabbit hole: mechanical keyboards. Thankfully, Jeff Abbott (one of my colleagues at The Sweet Setup) is a mechanical keyboard aficionado and has all the details regarding the basics of switches.

⤷ What is Simulation Theory and Why Does it Matter? ●

And since this was the rabbit hole I was digging my way through this weekend, I may as well jumpstart everyone else’s rabbit hole digging. Maybe I’m late to the party. This kind of stuff is interesting, scary, and troublesome all at the same time. There has to be a way the entire puzzle fits together.

⤷ Why Elon Musk Believes We’re Living in a Computer Simulation ●

Thanks to Drew Coffman, I find myself knee deep in reading about Simulation Theory, the Singularity, and more. Crazy things to think about, especially in relation to faith. But I sincerely doubt everything in these articles and videos are wrong. There’s correct fact here and we, as faithful people, need to figure out how it fits together.
