How Veganism Saves you Money I initially went vegan to help stop negative climate change because that’s the thing which scares me the most. However, very soon after going Vegan, I noticed some major benefits. The first I noticed as a guy, is that you lose any semblance of a gut and you look very lean and athletic. But there many more profound differences that I noticed, that had a massive positive impact on my finances. Food is Cheaper This one should have been obvious to…

My Second Portrait Drawing of Natalie Portman I posted my very first drawing on Instagram back in 2015 on the 25th of February. It was a drawing I did of Amy Winehouse, and it turned out really great. I was very happy with it. The likeness was good, given the fair amount of effort I put into it. Today, I drew my 214th drawing and posted it on Instagram. This drawing is of the amazing and incredibly talented actor and vegan, Natalie Portman. For four years, I’ve been drawing…

Have your Cake and Eat it A big challenge in growing wealth, is that the assets you acquire only have single purpose utility. You can use it for one thing and one thing only. Take a rental property for example. You pay a lot of money for, and then you rent it out for a fixed amount. If you’ve done things right, then the rental income pays for your loan and expenses. At the end of the day, if you’re lucky you come away with a little bit of profit and hopefully you’ll turn…

Experiencing the Story of your Life I just finished reading the short story **"Story of your Life"** written by Ted Chiang. All I can say is Wow!!!

However I have read a handful of books that delivered an experience like no other, and this book is one of them. Both **"Story of Your Life"** and the film **Arrival** upon…

The Best and Only way to get your Protein I write a lot about veganism and quite often I get asked *"what about protein?"*. In this post, I'll give an example of what I eat in a typical day with the associated protein intake. The current RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for protein ranges from country to country, but 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is typical for many countries, including the US and Canada. **I am 80 kilograms therefore I need about 64…

It's goal is to bring high speed broadband internet to the farthest reaches of the world. That is something that is sorely needed in the world. COVID-19 has highlighted just how much we *all* need the Internet . In times of crisis it keeps us informed, it keeps us connected to those we care about and it gives us that…

Adaptation - Winning in a Post COVID-19 World I was shocked to see a blog post recently that considered Evolution to be fake. I was even more stunned to see that everyone in the comments actually supported the idea that evolution is fake. Without a doubt I think that we should all question everything, however I didn't see any arguments in the comments against evolution, just simple beliefs against it. Evolution is *adaptation* to a changing environment. That's it. The bit…
