zerograv – Apr 2019 – ‘Superhero Syndrome’

By zero | Apr 26, 2019 |

April has been a very engaged month, full of learning and productivity, and also lacking in sleep.  🙁  🙂 I say ‘engaged’ because I learned a few years ago to avoid saying ‘busy’, i.e. ‘April has been a busy month’.  In fact the term ‘busy’ is just an excuse for why we have not done…

zerograv – mar 2019 – there be no recycling here

By zero | Mar 24, 2019 |

My blog averages around 10 readers a month, however last month’s article (see ‘there be no shortcuts here‘) had ~40 unique readers, and so I am reusing the catchy title this month in an attempt to generate similar results.  Haha hey this is already off to a good start, coincidentally threw in the word ‘reusing’,…

zerograv – feb 2019 – there be no shortcuts here

By zero | Feb 19, 2019 |

Title of this post should be pronounced in the same fashion as Rage Against The Machine’s distorted metal vocal ‘There be no shelter here – Tha frontline is everywhere’.  Just because. Background image for this post is an image from Thronebreaker, which is the single-player campaign version of Gwent.  Gwent is a strategic/tactical card game…

ZeroGrav – Jan 2019 – Lycanthropy (skyrim/beast)

By zero | Jan 4, 2019 |

One of my favorite gaming memories of all time happens to have occurred when playing one of the best games of all time, none other than Skyrim (i.e. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim). I was a novice warrior, traversing the rolling outdoor hills and mountains of Skyrim, wearing light trousers, t-shirt and a worn vest,…

ZeroGrav – Dec 2018 – “I hope you are doing well” – – The worst e-mail introduction ever?

By zero | Dec 6, 2018 |

My work and most corporate office jobs involve a lot of e-mails. Whether there are notes to / from co-workers, suppliers, customers, or other, I am estimating roughly 500 sent and 500 received e-mails is probably about right for an individual in an average month. Of course some notes are of substance while others are…

ZeroGrav – Nov 2018 – amazon, whatever

By zero | Nov 13, 2018 |

I have done the unthinkable, I have ‘logged off’ of amazon’s Prime service, and no plans to return.  What!?  I have used amazon prime for years, thanks to bro for sharing, and have utilized the free 2-day shipping service quite extensively.  Anything from games to books to clothing and gifts, and over the past year…

ZeroGrav – October 2018 – Celebrating Failure

By zero | Oct 15, 2018 |

ZeroGrav – October 2018 – Celebrating Failure As you might know from prior posts I am big on setting, adjusting/fine-tuning, and working towards goals each year. For 2018 I have a couple of goals related to running, both of which I have failed on miserably year-to-date! One is to run a 5k in less than…

ZeroGrav – Sep 2018 – Opposites Attract / Like Attracts Like, a Paradox

By zero | Sep 14, 2018 |

ZeroGrav – Sep 2018 – Opposites Attract / Like Attracts Like, a Paradox ‘Opposites Attract’ is one of those terms or cliche phrases which has been around forever, and as such is assumed to be true.  It is the go-to phrase when there are two unlike people in a relationship or friendship which seem to…

ZeroGrav – Aug 2018 – On Commuting

By zero | Aug 14, 2018 |

Commuting to and from work in Massachusetts is tough.  The average commute time a couple years ago was probably somewhere around 30 – 40 minutes for most folks, and it seems to be getting worse, I am thinking 45 – 65 minutes is more accurate today.  45 minutes twice a day, 90 minutes, 5 times…

ZeroGrav – July 2018 – Music (Madness)

By zero | Jul 6, 2018 |

Big topic, where do I begin with this one?  I have been thinking about music a lot recently.  It is such a powerful thing, why is that?  Is it something we just perceive as a sensory perception (hearing/sound), or is it more than that?  And how can I integrate more music back into my life?…
