It's been 80 years since the invasion of Normandy. In this entry I share some reflection on this day, in another "straight from my mind to the keyboard" kind of entry.

Over the years I've seen tons of posts saying some people only make $2.13 an hour for service work. In this entry I explain why this is simply a myth.

Nearly 10 years after I raised concerns about a rockets design choice, I feel I've been vindicated in those concerns and, while I know I'll never get it, request an apology.
