• Ubernerds and Time Math – Thoughts from July 26 and 30, 2023

  

  July 26, 2023 I tried to type QWERTY on my swipe keyboard and it typed “Way”. I guess people don’t type QWERTY much. This Thoughts paper is being interrupted to bring you a special news bulletin.

• My Abnormalities – Thoughts from July 22 and 23, 2023

  

  July 22, 2023 I was talking to a new employee about several subjects. I have alternative points of view to almost everything he said.
