I’m Mourning
A good friend’s husband just passed from brain cancer. He was around my age (~40). He left behind a wife, 3 young kids, and a wonderful dog. My heart aches for my friend and her kids. I just found out this morning. Her husband has been battling brain cancer for years. And has put up…

Minecraft… An Escape
I belong to a great community of techy-type people called Indy Hall. I’ve known about the community since 2010 and it’s been around since 2006. It’s one of the first co-working spots in the US if not the World. Since the Covid-19 pandemic started last year (2020), the community has been a great place for…

The Pandemic Is Still Real… Still Here In Full Force
I saw this about Covid-19’s resurgence in the most populous states in the United States on LinkedIn. This is not a political issue. Heck it’s being talked about widely on the biggest business social network. It’s a health issue. It’s about our health. There is no vaccine for Covid-19. There isn’t even a good treatment…

Covid-19… I Get It
Seriously, I get it. We’re all sick of being stuck in our homes and not interacting with other people as much as we used to. We want to get out. As humans were social beings — we want to be around each other and hang out. But there is a deadly killer out there. There…

Our History… The Statues… Our Checkered Past
There’s been a lot of animosity surrounding statues lately. And in many cases rightfully so. Christopher Columbus statues across the country are coming down or being boxed up, in a case of Philadelphia. It is a time of reckoning about our past in this country. Symbols of oppression and hate need to come down. But…

On Defunding The Police…
Where to start. I have family that are police officers and in law enforcement. To my knowledge they are upstanding and honorable. That’s why defunding the police is such a hard topic for me. Watching how the police deal with protesters angers me. Seeing how they are dealing with the press makes me seethe in…

I don’t know where to even begin #riots2020
I don’t even know where to begin. Covid-19 is still a real threat, but we can’t sit idle and not fight back against a police state taking hold. The death is George Floyd is just one more example of the police being out of control. I’m not saying that all police are bad, the majority,…

Quarantine Life A Challenge For Sure
Quarantine life is definitely challenging. The kiddo is obviously home and has to learn, wife has to find a job (she’s a real catch for any company looking for a business manager or biz ops person, hint hint), and I have to keep Goldstein Media well oiled and moving. So far it’s being done, but…

Finding The Right Balance
With the majority of the globe on lock down/quarantine. I’ve seen a trend toward more online interaction. While this is good, we need to remember to not only take time for ourselves, but also our family that is with us in real life (IRL). Last weekend I attended WordCamp San Antonio virtually. It was so…

More Social Now?
Before the Covid-19 corona virus pandemic, I was in a flow. It was regular and comfortable. Now that we’re all stuck at home, I feel that there are more things going on and that I’m being more social than I was before. Yes, we are home schooling our 7 year old son. That takes time…
