Asexuality is a relatively new and generally obscure sexual orientation. It is often misunderstood or not acknowledged as valid by others when people share that part of themselves. This can be frustrating, hurtful, or isolating when people with this orientation don’t find support or acceptance from those around them. Jim spends some time briefly sharing his own story about this part of his life, in the hopes that it may help those struggling with the confusion to feel less alone. ✌️
In this cast Jim (aka “Why are you still recording these things?”) verbally meanders around life in Boulder, thoughts on investing, life as a functional asexual, sucking at talking to women, culinary adventures and tribulations, overdoing it at thrift stores, the past / future of digital music services, and a bunch of miscellaneous junk that served as a good three-hour excuse to procrastinate doing any real work. Just think, it could be your next three-hour excuse to do the same! Doesn’t that so...

First casting from my place of origin, the northern Detroit suburbs, where I am headquartered until this pandemic recedes. I talk a bit about the differences between Detroit and San Francisco and other miscellany. Take care and stay healthy.
Dictation from driving the road while moving back to Detroit from San Francisco on the long stretch of interstate labeled I-80 in Iowa. (From August 21st.)
I do this episode live from the interstate while cruising through Nebraska. Life on the road, why you can’t be friends with exes, and my own musings on the bursting of the real estate rent bubble in the Bay Area. As usual this whole podcast series is just a pandemic diversion, so the audio is subpar...pack accordingly.

A chat about seeding music with mythos and other odds 'n' ends.
Me making peace with much of the turmoil we're seeing out in the world these days, plus some discussion of politics, and other ramblings about God only knows what the hell else. Be well out there.

Recorded from the beach in my car. Reflections on the upcoming holiday and the current state of the world. Part 1 of 2.
It's been a month since my last broadcast, so time for an update. A little bit more about my life after my last job and one of the primary reasons that I left, which has less to do with the company itself and more to do with the average understanding of science amidst the general public. I'm older than I once was, but also a tad less naïve. As per the usual, I don't have professional audio gear so the sound quality is lacking, to say the least. Be well.
A long-form discussion about how I always try to push for some middle ground in most conflicts, plus the story of how I accidentally acquired a Michael Jackson jacket. I think the audio quality on here is perfection.
