If you think about the title of this article, Are stupid ideas a waste of time?, of course you would say “Yes, they sure are.” But, I would argue that they are not. Stupid ideas are not a waste of time, in fact, they are very valuable in my opinion!

Well, it’s been a busy few weeks in the Martin household in Davao. I’ve been busy with a lot of different things, it seems. I suppose that the holidays are like that. So, I thought I’d just write a “general” article that is really not about anything in particular. Just an update of what has [...]

I am not trying to brag, or saying that I am better than others, but I will just say that I am a smart person. I have a high IQ. I also hear it all the time from people who say that I am smart, and such. So, I simply accept the fact that I [...]
Well, I made a commitment to myself a few days ago that I was going to start walking regularly again. I got started yesterday, walking about 1 mile. Today, though, I had to make a change of plans! It has been pouring down rain, at least moderate rain, since yesterday morning. No signs of it [...]
About a year ago, in early 2008, I started having problems with my wrists. Most of the times, my wrists felt normal, but from time to time I would get sharp pains in my wrists. Both wrists experienced the problem, although my right wrist was worse with more often pain, and more severe as well.
