Putin's Mind and The War in Ukraine
Before I begin, I realize by chance of birth that I stand in a glass house as I write this. And yet, some things need to be said, as we stand on yet another fulcrum of history. In particular, we stand on a fulcrum that will determine the future of international politics and the understanding of diplomatic relations.

My Top Five Podcasts
We all have a limited amount of time in our day. And many of us like learning new information. However, not everyone has the time to sit and read every news story or book. For me, that is where podcasts come in. Many people deride the idea of listening to podcasts. I was one of those people at one point, especially because my dad subjected me to many hours of talk radio as a child. However, podcasts are a long way from what talk radio used to be. Gone are the days where your only real options are a show with dry, but factual information versus amped political rants( those still exist, you just have more options now). If you’re looking for some casual listening that is also interesting, I recommend trying one of these five podcasts. The order of the list carries no weight, as I found it only fair to list them in chronological order when I started listening to them.

AFOL is an acronym that stands for Adult Fans of LEGO, and is pronounced like the word awful.

Vocal By the Numbers
I am writing this on the first Vocal anniversary. I am writing this in the same vein as my other advice articles. Not because I am an expert on any of the technical skills that one could think of that would apply here. Rather, I am an amateur with a gift for trying harder. Or at times, willing to stick around long enough to see what happens. And seeing what happens, or rather, what was happening is what led me to start tracking my stats.
