旧专栏

时不时地，一篇评论社论从我的灵魂中钻出来，进入物质领域。它们几乎总是非正式地写成，但那些适合打印或值得记住的都放在这里。

The First Draft of History

Journalism, like so much of what is seen and heard in the modern era, is theatre. The news – the culmination of stories read and broadcast for public consumption and education – is more an art than science. As with all art, it is vital to the soul. It provides meaning and context for the world at large.

But like any art, it is subjective.
 

The Bridge Burning Op-Ed

I originally wrote this after my graduation at Florida Tech in 2018 with the hope I could find a person or publication in the Melbourne area to print it and spread the word.

I tried everywhere I could think, but I failed. I couldn't even pay to have this published. The reach of the university and the perversion of ethics run too deep.

Communication is among the most important skills to master. This is regardless of one’s occupation or place in the world. Unless someone lives in a cave alone, they’re going to need to know how to effectively communicate. 

And, how to receive those same communications effectively.

My Hurricane Irma Experience

At the time of this writing, Hurricane Irma was among the strongest hurricanes to ever exist. Only one Atlantic hurricane on record, hurricane Allen in 1980, contained stronger sustained winds at 190 mph. Hurricane Irma topped off at an equally destructive 185 mph.

After numerous weather forecasts and tracking models, it was decided that a mass evacuation of Florida was needed. 

The Three Types of College Courses

I’ve had a particular type of conversation with several friends and students over the years. It’s always met with a mix of emotions. Sometimes disbelief. Sometimes outrage. Sometimes with a sense of revelation.

The conversation covers an open secret of academia. Namely, the three types of college courses.
