The Bit About Life and Ritalin | Autistic Mind

About a year ago I was finally diagnosed with severe ADHD. The result was a prescription for Ritalin that I could take up to three times a day. At first it was a 10mg dose, but over time (and as I am highly resistant to drugs, as in taking them) I found I needed a [...]

What Liberals Need to Understand About \’Gun Guys\’ – Hope Reese – The Atlantic

Here’s some quotes from an interesting article on guns and gun control. For the record, I’m pro gun, though I am not opposed to tighter restrictions and a national registry. Since the shooting in Connecticuit, I’ve heard a lot more about how guns are bad. Sure, they kill people (and, yes, it is people doing [...]

We’re Doing IT Wrong

We’re Doing IT Wrong The United States is a powerhouse both economically, politically, and with our military. We are in a situation where we could (almost) literally overthrow every country in the world. And yet, we have a perceived altruistic tendency to be more police than dictator. Except, I think we’re tending more toward dictator [...]

Strippers at teen’s party lead to mom’s arrest – CNN.com

From CNN (and totally worth sharing, even though it borders on the ludicrous). A mom hires strippers for her sons 16th birthday party. Now, as a guy I’m thinking, “Cool!” but as a parent I wonder what the {insert inappropriate language here) was this lady thinking? Not cool. More importantly, did she think no one was [...]

Results for hide the exposition | Big Think. Margaret Atwood, one of the leading authors of the English language, Canadian, and one of only two living authors I had to study as an undergraduate, talks about the process of hiding exposition. While I disagree with her assessment since the coherence of writing and the nature [...]

Thoughts from Sunday School :: Differences of Opinion

I have no problems disagreeing with people around me. Even at church.  (and from the theology I am a part of, the majority of righteous adherents), I disagree with that majority when it attempts to ascribe meaning to that which has none. For example, when speaking of pre-mortality the bent of most people is to [...]

Damage to my car when I went home at lunch

This is what happened when I went home today… What you’re seeing is about a thousand to two-thousand dollars in damage. And me not happy. Though, outside of the distorted reflection in the gloss coat, you can’t tell. Sadly, none of these do much justice to the injustice of having my car crunched by a [...]

Old Cookie Dough Video with Cy

Occasionally I make cookie dough. Cy always helps. Here’s a video (at least a year old) where Cy’s showing why he helps.

Autistic Mind :: Ear Protection

Back in Touch with Ear Protection A while back I ordered (via ) some serious ear protection. Why? Because I’m sensitive to noise and while Ritalin does a lot to help me compensate, ignore, and deal with the world, apparently the whole autism thing means that a very different set of neurons are reacting as [...]
