I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of the Incarnate Word in the Spring of 2013 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts. In the months leading up to my graduation, I read many articles claiming that my communication arts degree offered the worst return on investment. I believed this and was very discouraged. […]

For several years since the 2008 Presidential Election, I have made strides to distance myself from the political negativity that permeates American social life. I learned a valuable lesson in the election season of 2008 when I wrote a vile comment in response to what I believed was an offensive political post. I unleashed rage […]

On August 15, 2004, I created my first email account with Yahoo. My first email was a welcome message informing me that I had a whopping 250MBs of email storage. For many years, I used this account exclusively and gleefully sent and received emails from my middle school classmates. When it came time to search […]

A quick search in Google suggests a query for how many domains do Google and Amazon have. Not that anyone is searching for how many domains I have, but I’ll tell you anyway. On March 30, 2008, I bought my first domain paleolithicfilms.com. At the time, I thought it was silly to buy my name. […]

Kara bought a lightly used 2011 MacBook Pro from my cousin. She got a good year of use out of it before the recalled GPU failed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after the GPU failed that we discovered the recall. Now that the window has passed, a fix would cost $500, according to Apple, at a […]

The endless talk about COVID-19 pushed me to tune out the news for a bit. For a while, I was reading it every day, but it filled me with worry as I’m sure many others feel. The last time I checked the City of San Antonio’s COVID-19 risk assessment, we were between critical and severe. […]

Like it or not, third-parties can change an industry from the outside. TrueCar, Cargurus, Edmunds, and Cars.com changed the car business. Expedia, Priceline, Trivago, Orbits, and Travelocity changed the hospitality industry. And similarly, Postmates, Doordash, Grubhub, and UberEats will change the restaurant business during COVID-19. When restaurants were closed during the shutdown, I began ordering […]

While checking one of my many email accounts, I came across this email from FlexJobs. Three years ago, I was looking for a job. And during that time, I was obsessed with an idea to improve how people got hired. Dear Aaron, Historically, a career path has often been referred to as “climbing the ladder”, […]

There are now 250 Billion websites, 220,000 of these launched within the last 24 hours, as seen here: https://zonefiles.io/. Sure, not all of these domains are useful. Many of these domains are for sale with a landing page full of advertising. Others are still on a Dreamhost under construction page. But, imagine there was a […]

If you’re stuck at home and need an affordable laptop to get your work done, the Motile 14 made by Walmart will surprise you! My fiancee, Kara, needed a laptop to complete her required courses at her new hospital job but did not want to spend the price of a new MacBook. Luckily, I had […]
