What is Medical School like?
Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. We’re going to switch gears and do some reflection on where I’ve come from, meaning my medical school years. I think a lot of undergrad (and even high school) pre-meds think about this question: “What is Medical School like?” **Apologies, this didn’t post like it was scheduled to for some reason. The answer to this question is complex. You will hear many, many different answers to this question. However, […]

The Long Bet
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays. Today, I’m doing a short detour from my Let’s Gamble posts. In my previous posts, I’ve talked about The Philosophy and Index Funds and how as a Boglehead I believe that is the best way to invest. You may also recall that I mentioned “The Long Bet” between Warren Buffett and a Hedge Fund. Where is that now? Let’s talk about Warren Buffett’s Long Bet. What is the “The Long […]

Apple iPhone X 2
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. As you may already know, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X yesterday.

First a little history… My first cellphone was in college which was a Motorola StarTAC, this was back in […]

What is Torticollis? 1
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and this post is probably a little late.

Torticollis has a variety of other names like “crick […]

Pocket Aces 5
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays and I was all set to continue my “Let’s Gamble” segment in regards to Cryptocurrency. However, I ran into some problems, and so I’ll take some time here to discuss them today in my post “No Bitcoin for Hawaii”. Edit: For those who are more interested in “How To Buy Bitcoin in Hawaii”, I wrote a follow-up post. The TL;DR is that the two ways to get bitcoin from Hawaii are using […]

Youtube 2
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. I’ve decided to completely switch gears and talk about YouTube Starter Guide (on the cheap) #illumedati. YouTube? Since when do you have a YouTube channel? Well… I don’t. However, my daughter likes to watch YouTube Kids which has a bunch of videos of kids reviewing toys and/or playing with toys. She told me she wanted to try it awhile ago. It’s kind of hard to explain to a 4 […]
