Learning a language is now cheaper and easier with apps like Duolingo and Memrise.
When I was a kid, my parents put me in Chinese classes and I usually dreaded going there because it smelled strong of burning incense and my classmates were often disruptive. The classes were taught by the moms of family friends and they weren’t fluent in English, making it difficult for the students to understand what they were trying to teach.

I’m creating a new series of posts starting today. Every Sunday I’ll share a psalm or a Bible passage. I’m doing this to remind myself to be faithful to the Lord and to inspire fellow Christians to do the same.
It’s been one year since net neutrality was repealed. Net neutrality supporters bought into protectionist fear mongering that corporations will throttle internet speeds unless you pay more.
I’m in the process of creating a training manual for a family-owned business called Glockstore. I’ve researched the business and looked through their reviews on Facebook and they could use some help in creating more consistent and courteous customer service, according to many of their customers.
First step, I researched Glockstore and took a look at their website and social media reviews. Many customers left one-star reviews and they all pertained to poor customer service.
Then, I put together a step-by-step manual on how to improve customer service. Choose a few of the reviews and turn it into a case study and provide examples of solutions. Having a written down, easy to follow guide creates more consistency in your team and they’ll know what the business expects from them.
I drew inspiration from Disney theme parks and how they always have top-of-the-line customer service even when their guests are irrational. Disney has achieved this consistency by following a well-tested training manual.
I’ve made a similar training manual for a swim school that I work for. You can find it under the “Portfolio” page.
There’s a hidden gem in my Powerline Birbs shirt. Can you figure it out? I can’t say much about how or why I came up with this design, but I’ll give you a hint. The placement of the birds corresponds to the message.
Comment below if you think you’ve figured it out! I’ll email you if you’re right or wrong!
On a slightly different note, there’s a Christmas sale going on right now! Check out my store by clicking the link above or in the sidebar under “Follow My Adventures!”.
For those of you who aren’t Christians or Jews, Bible translations differ greatly. The English versions of the Bible such as King James Version (KJV) have simpler translations compared to the Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB).
I think it’s also interesting to note the differences in the Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV) which is translated directly from the Latin Vulgate.
I’ve chosen to use Psalms 91:1-16, a prayer of protection, as an example. Compare and contrast the differences.
Trump is playing a dangerous game by requesting Canada to arrest the CFO of Huawei, and daughter of its founder, Meng Wanzhou. Her crime? She allegedly violated US trade sanctions against Iran even though she isn’t a US citizen.
I’ve delivered food for Postmates for a week now and it’s been a pleasant experience overall. Postmates is like UberEats except they pay more for each delivery.
If you’re thinking about delivering for Postmates here’s a breakdown of their pay.
Base Pay
The base pay might vary depending on your city but you’re guaranteed a minimum. In Orlando, the base pay for each delivery is $4.00 and it looks like this:
One pickup x $1.00
1 dropoff x $1.00
Wait time x $0.09
Distance (miles) x $0.61
Postmates will automatically adjust your payout if a delivery is under $4.00. For example, if my base pay for one delivery comes out to be $3.34, then Postmates will give me $0.66. The base pay excludes tips.
