BIG NEWS

I have been deep into politics for the past few years, and it is beginning to truly weigh on me, so at the end of 2018, I came to a personal decision that I was going to partake in a project I have been putting off for a couple of decades now. 

One of my goals in life is to publish a novel (or multiple).  I have enjoyed the written word since childhood, and have always meant to create a novel.  As most of you know, however, life happens, and I have always come up with excuses to avoid working on said novel.  I have decided there is no more room for excuses, and I am not getting any younger at this point, so 2019 is the year of the Dunkel Novel!

I have teamed up with a friend of mine who is also going to be working on a book in 2019, and we will be supporting each other throughout the process by peer checking material and holding each other to self-imposed deadlines. 

I will continue blogging as well, because there is no escaping the world around us and I will most certainly still need a vehicle to direct my venting toward throughout the year.  I will ensure to post update blogs on progress made with the novel, and I will tell you now that my goal is to have a completed novel ready for editing and publishing by the end of the year.

If within the next couple of years I am holding a hard bound book with my name printed on the cover, one of my major bucket list goals in life will be complete.  Now, the true goal is to have people read past the cover, love what is inside, and want a second novel to read...but let's start with getting the first one completed and published. 

As a sneak peek into my brainstorm, I will say that the novel is going to be a reality meets fantasy genre that will hopefully be enjoyable for people of all ages.  I am excited, and I look forward to putting some true effort into a project I have dreamed of for so long. 

So that is all for the Blog today.  As I am sure you all know, the Democrats are back in control of the House again, so I am sure there will be all sorts of wonderful and mind numbing political things to discuss in the coming weeks.  Welcome to 2019, a political nightmare that will seemingly never end!

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Let's talk about kids

So here we are, waiting patiently and watching what the government is doing to reunite children with their parents who have been separated at the border.  The government said all it would take was a few key strokes and they could immediately identify which children were where and get them reunited.  Interesting comment considering that we are now past the court mandated timeframe within which the government was mandated by the court to reunite the 102 children under the age of 5 with their parents.  They had a month to do it, and only managed to reunite around 54 children by the deadline.  They have resorted to taking DNA samples from children and parents to try to match them up in a database because the process they used to separate these children from their parents didn't take into consideration the reunification process, so in most cases they have no idea which children match up to which parents. Instead of the President taking a more compassionate approach to...

Technology, the Double Edged Sword

Technology is an amazing thing isn't it?  Look at the evolution of the computer.  Below I am providing a history of the evolution of the computer.  It is not all-inclusive, but does document some very important moments in history starting in 1801 and ending in 2017.  If you aren't a huge reader, you can jump past the history lesson to the remainder of my blog below, but it is very interesting and I recommend you read through it.  In France in 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom that used punched wooden cards to automatically weave fabric designs.  Early computers would use similar punch cards. In 1822, an English Mathematician named Charles Babbage conceived of a steam-driven calculating machine that would be able to compute tables of numbers.  The project was funded by the English government and was a failure.  More than a century later, however, the first computer was actually built in the world. In 1890, Herman Hollerith designed ...
