Earrings
April truly is the cruelest month, especially in Augusta during the first full week, breeding dogwoods and azaleas into dreams of a green jacket on Sunday. I won’t go into it about badges; suffice to say my family received. I was dating some loser the year I was twenty-two or -three, and I was taking him to the Par 3. At least I was until the night before.

When The Story Pivots and Changes
My writing journey has been a bit of a roller coaster. I don't have any accolades to claim, though if I actually attempted to get serious about writing contests and submitting my work, I could change that. After I finished my rewrite and recording of the audiobook of "Memoirs of the In-Between" I decided that I needed to decide what to do next.

Side Quest Goal Achieved: Placing an Alien Claim
This is a post that has me quite ecstatic. It's funny, I thought it was going to be one of my usual, "Hey, I achieved another one of my goals and checked it off" type deals. And it sort of is. But it sort of isn't. And it's also one of my greatest writing accomplishments of late.

It’s a fact awards
Do you ever feel that non-fiction writers are the poor relations of the Vocal community. I do! Those nice people at Vocal Media heap much sought-after $200 prizes on poets and story smiths, left, right and center, while leaving us fact factors out in the cold.

Only 955,587 More Until The Challenge Is Beaten
There was once a magic challenge. It was that hold my beer moment in time, and off to the races went all those who accepted the challenge. Truth be told, not that many were going to be up to the challenge. But that is, the magic of the challenge.

Engineering Culture Debt. AI-Generated.
In the early stages of a company, engineering culture tends to emerge organically. Small teams, tight feedback loops, and shared context create a natural alignment between values and behavior. Decisions are fast, communication is informal, and ownership is clear. However, as organizations scale—adding more engineers, teams, layers of management, and geographic distribution—this implicit culture begins to fracture. What once worked intuitively becomes inconsistent, misunderstood, or entirely lost.

The Ordinary Wisdom of a "Clumsy" Life
My name is Wang Defu, and I am sixty-five years old. To be honest—and don't laugh—I’ve just been an ordinary worker my whole life. I never had any grand talents; I spent thirty years tightening bolts at the factory, and my pension is nothing to write home about. My wife passed away years ago, and after my son got married, I lived alone in our old apartment. Life was quiet, and I liked it that way.

3 Signs of an Insalubrious Friendship
In this article, I am going to share what I learned throughout my life with some bad friends I made and with some situations, I had the opportunity to witness. Everybody will at least once experience a relationship that may drain you, even without realising it. When you perceive it, at the end of the day, at least you learned a pattern of bad demeanour towards you. These are things I wish I knew when I was younger, and I wish they would be helpful, especially if you are a teenager or young adult. But I must add that this content is not going to victimise yourself. I will be utterly frank and realistic.
