Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

So WP offered me this today.
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? A lot. What WOULD I un-invent? I’ll start with Doordash and Grubhub, and other delivery platforms. When we were kids, it was a big deal to have food delivered. Even bigger, since we lived 22 miles out of town and couldn’t do it unless we were…

Insomnia
When I was sick a while back, my sleeping schedule got altered. Normally, I would hit the hay around 11pm and be up around 7. But then it got twisted. Now I fall horizontal around 8pm, and wake up .. 2-3am. I know there’s ways to fix it, but… why? This time of night, the…

Cold!
Did it get cold where you are? It did here, and it was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in all my years of living in Colorado. It wasn’t even the extreme cold. I’ve been in extreme cold before, and it just doesn’t faze me. Put on more layers, and we’re good. And that was…

Blathering on about nothing.
Let’s get to the goodies first. Yesterday, I got bored, so I took a trip up to my favorite antenna farm, 5 miles as the crow flies, more like 15 to drive. And it’s worth every foot of it. All of these were taken yesterday. I went up there to clear my mind, oddly enough.…

Yay! More Snow!
I don’t have a lot of anti-dickness going on right now, because it’s a mellow, pretty morning. So, we’ll start off with snow pictures. These first few are close(r) to me, the nearest being about 60 miles. All photos in this gallery are from Colorado Traveler Information (cotrip.org) Widening out to some other more distant,…

Even more “Darn You Kids!”
The Phone Company I’ll bet some of you remember when the phone company was Ma Bell. You got your phone bill from [your area] Bell, probably had a rotary phone somewhere with an actual, physical bell in it. We can debate the merits and downfalls of the great deregulation all day, and at the end…

Sick, part 2
more shopping funthe reverse karenOh, just show me some pictures Do you ever notice how your sleep gets really out of whack when you’re sick? Mine is already out of whack naturally, so I would think maybe it could be back “in whack”? No such luck. I collapsed on the couch in the office around…

Sick
Well, once again, nature has turned out to be a dick. We’re both knocked flat with what we hope are colds. She’s of the opinion that ‘ignorance is bliss’, and after reading the instructions for the covid test, so am I. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and if I need to stay…

Ah, the holidays
And, like that, I’m out. I guess I’m just good on holidays. Every year, the Christmas season seems to start earlier and earlier. Now there’s ‘Pre-Black-Friday’ sales. And this says nothing about the people who have to work during this season. I’m not big on giving gifts to people that already have stuff. I want…

Snow, and crazy mountain views
I feel like I haven’t been posting, but sometimes life intervenes. We had an injured cat that needed to to to the shop. Apparently, it’s not like leaving your car with the mechanic. I mean, how cool would that be? Nahh, I like my furry pal, and for those of us who are cat people,…
Got any book recommendations?
