I’ve been trying to teach my son how to code. Here is some history on our projects so far if you just happened to stumble upon this post. A few weeks ago we were at a point where we were reaching the limits of what we can do moving HTML div’s around without things getting…

Here are pictures from the Into Ice and Lava tour with Reykjavik Sightseeing: This was by far my favorite tour in Iceland. Going into a glacier! And into a Lava Tube!

Pictures from the Golden Circle + Secret Lagoon tour with Bustravel Iceland: Both our guides were great and Icelandic landscape is like nothing else. We chose this tour as opposed to others because it took us to Secret Lagoon first, making it a less crowded time to be there. Stay tuned for photos from our other…

Since my last post on coding with my son, his game Blob Attack has come a long way. New graphics, more levels, a real leaderboard, somewhat proper signup and registration and now phone playability. This caused us to Google often and I got a lot of – “YOU don’t know how to do this?!” Thankfully…

Every time I read an article about teaching kids about investing or creating generational portfolios, Altria (MO), Exxon (XOM), Coke (KO) and McDonalds (MCD) seem to show up more often than not. Maybe this is because die-hard dividend investors are the ones trying to get their kids to invest or maybe it is because some…

In Part 3 of my series on Peak Oil in the US, I looked at the impact of electric vehicles on Oil consumption. The EV Sales chart in that post looked like this: In this scenario, I had EV sales of about 170,000 in 2018 growing to over 1 million in 2024. However, I currently…
