A Desire for Certainty These last few months, my life has been in a holding pattern. The veterinarian told me my sweet doggy, Güera, only had a few weeks to live. Being a caring, maybe over-devoted dog mom, I have done everything I can to provide her favorite foods and experiences “for the last time.” […]
Did you catch the latest Black Mirror season? To me, this is one of the best seasons at exploring not only technology, but human nature. One standout episode is Plaything where a 1990’s simulation game advances far beyond humans not only in technology, but in empathy. (Spoiler) After watching, my husband and I debated as […]
I thought controlling the uncontrollable was a trait of those with a Type A personality. It is much more common, but thankfully the same tools can help no matter who you are.
