  • Inflammation isn't bad for you (sometimes)
    Jul 13 2025

    Inflammation can be bad if the inflammation is attacking your body like in an auto-immune condition. It is normal and necessary to fight illness and to recover from an injury.This is basically an excerpt from my injury book which isn't done yet.... I know.. I know... I think I've only worked on it for a day in the past year. I'll finish it eventually.

    People don't understand how heating transfers work, nor why a fan cools, which leads to some silly heater placements and fan usage.

  • Can you you replace your car with an electric scooter + a gotrax G4 and emove cruiser review
    Jun 29 2025

    I talk about using a scooter as a car replacement for commuting in the Cayman Islands relatively long distances. I also recount share my thoughts on the gotrax G4 and the emove cruiser S 2021-2023. Due to it having no storage, this is for trips where you aren't hauling gear. You can carry alot more gear. Make sure to get a threadlocker/loctite if you get an emove cruiser.

  • I'm sick of "Everything" being the Vagus Nerve, and other oversimplifications rant
    Jun 15 2025

    I'm sick of everything is the vagus nerve, everything is gluten, everything is gut health, everything is... you get the point. This rant inspired by a seminar by Dr. Michael Husmillo on concussions.

    "Everything" isn't so simple.

    I am not criticizing his patient care or the management presented in the seminar except for his reframing of everything is the vagus nerve. Dr. Michael Husmillo seems like a great doctor, at least from what I've seen of his management of concussions: his management seems thorough and evidence based in evaluation and treatment.

    There is a very short excerpt from the university college of Dublin's UCDmedicine youtube channel illustrating nystagmus. I do not own that content.

  • Gamification of Learning Music: An Interview with Patrick Boylan
    Jun 8 2025

    Gamification and apps for learning music? Does it help? What are the strategies in trying to make the best piano music learning app? I talk today with someone who is trying to do just that, the creator of MuseFlow.

    his website: https://www.museflow.ai/

    I endorse learning and playing music. I don't explicitly endorse his product. I've used a combination of similar software with traditional learning to some success in the past. I understand there is a trial on his website to try.
