Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

The security area will continue to play a larger and larger role as everything gets cloud-ified.
Get certification in accounting as well (doesn't need to be a CPA), as it will factor in large when it comes to preparing business cases and (eventually) budgeting.

Very sage advice my friend

Definitively one of my favorite hot weather / summer shave sets - really fun boozy scent that really does remind me of a Jimmy Buffett concert!

What, Stirling doesn't sell razors?

SOTD: 08/01/2022



Razor: Thiers Issard 5/8” 1196 Evide Sonnant Compostelle
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements The Solar Flare
Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary White Mug
Soap: Elysian Soap Sol Puck
Aftershave: Elysian Soap Sol Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Vegan Balm
Additional Care: Ralph Lauren Safari EdT

I am hard pressed to describe this soap & AS combo. From the scent notes (and the fact that that soap is called Sol) - I was expecting very bright - to the point I almost used D&G Light Blue Sun as my cologne - but it would not have meshed well with this. Safari is the closest thing I could come up with— it does complement the soap and AS well - but not an exact match. I would say this is a modern cologne from someone trying to make a tribute to “old school.” Here are the notes just in case:

Scent Profile:

• Top Notes: Bergamot, White GrapeFruit, Ginger
• Mid Notes: Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Geranium
• Base Notes: Amber, Cedar, Musk

No particular note stands out - but nothing about the above says mature to me. Don’t get me wrong - I really like this and its ilk - just not what I was expecting.

Nothing earth shattering today on the home front - work, walk, then Urban Air, late supper….Have a great evening everyone!

That is one Seeee-phistocated looking shave. I feel like I would need to go to school for a few more years to qualify for that one.

He was thinking about programming - so I thought maybe a course in Pearl or C+ to get him started. And he is also interested in information security - so we’ll see - I think either fit his demeanor.

If you thinking about a programming language, take a good look at Python. Hit me up about it if you have any questions.

Chill was the name of the game today. I hope the same for tomorrow!

Coursera offers a very cool Python course called “An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python (Part 1)” and a part 2. It’s good for someone learning Python that has little or no programming experience. I took this several years ago and really enjoyed it. The course is free, and each part is 4/5 weeks long. All of the projects are classic video games, like pong, blackjack, and Astroids.​

Ya, but did you see that shave??? It was historical and cartiological!

C'mon Dave! You know as well as I that you need a Doctorate of Nursing to really stand out. Masters-prepared nurses are becoming pretty commonplace!

White GrapeFruit

Does white grapefruit scent differ from pink?

I believe you dodged the question, sir!

If you love bright, citrus scents, you will love pink grapefruit essential oil. Grapefruit essential oils come in pink, white and standard. White grapefruit is a slightly less tart, softer version; standard grapefruit is citrusy and earthy; pink is bright and crisp.
