Our lives are unique adventures - unique because each of us brings to the present moment a highly individual personal history, and an adventure because this present moment is largely unknown territory, a place where we have not yet been. What we will experience is only predictable to a limited degree.

Often, adventures are more rewarding if they are shared. So, the focus of this website is the adventures in my non-professional life, including forays into in psychology, anthropology, philosophy, science, music, art, food, and a number of other things.

The site is regrettably lean at this point, as it is in the early stages of development. Much more than you presently see here is close to publication.

Walnut milk (OR…cashew milk) ^ After making cashew milk and loving it, I wondered if a walnut milk was possible. It was! I found a few recipes, and adapted them to make my own.

One cup of walnut milk a day gives you your day’s ration of walnuts, if you are consuming them for the omega-3s, as I do. (…more)

Problem-solving: An introduction ^ When we solve a problem in daily life we usually do it quickly and without much thought. However, when the consequences of a decision are serious, a casual approach risks disaster. The alternative is to go forward more slowly, using methods we can expect to help us get better results - methods validated by the experience of other people faced with critical decisions. These methods are well known and can be learned fairly easily. The whole process can be worked out with pencil and paper, but often it is convenient to use a computer-managed spreadsheet. Here, we will describe the process in detail, and give examples of how to use it. (…more)

 

Acer 311 laptop

 

Chromebook Laptops - A tutorial for beginners ^ Chromebooks are Google’s design for a unique and unusually affordable laptop computer that is ideal for students and most other computer users. Small, lightweight, and easily carried in a backpack or large purse, they have most of the functionality of a larger “PC”-type laptop. Their operating system is well-designed and significantly easier to learn and use than those found on standard personal computers. {: .lead} (…more)
