By the logic of always using the pronunciation of the member letters as they are in the root words, then “laser” should be pronounced lah-seer. We don’t pronounce it that way. For two reasons. First, the people who invented the term pronounced it lay-zer, and, second,...

Plans fell through….

My Reluctant Truth
There are still tough things I continue to deal with. This sometimes obscures something I know to be true. So far, this is the best year of my entire life. If we calmly ignore last year’s catalyst for all the changes in my life, then it becomes quite plain. I’ve moved to one of the greatest cities in the world. I work at a company I enjoy, on a team whose skills I can count on...

While you’re fighting to stay on top you have to laugh off every single come on and sexist joke in a sea of nerds. I did all of...
