How to Use NFC Tags to Automate Your Life

person holding black and white round ornament

As always Tik Tok made me buy it! I bought 50 NFC tags to use around my house to automate random things. If you don’t know what an NFC tag is, it is an object that contains information that can be read by an NFC reader. Your phone has a NFC reader. They can be used to transfer data between devices and are often used to provide access control to physical spaces. They are often embedded in products such as cards, stickers, posters and other objects to provide information such as a name or a date of birth. They can also be used to exchange data between apps, such as when you tap a loyalty card in a shopping app to earn a discount at a store, or when you tap an event ticket in an app to get information about the event such as the location and time.

The Best Tweets About Tech Influencers

A MacBook with lines of code on its screen on a busy desk

I was recently on the bad receiving end for a Tik Tok I posted which alluded that Tech influencers were lying about what they made. Without explicitly saying it, I implied that these users are lying to unethically get people who were interested into working in tech to buy their services. Most of them provided lackluster services as an extensive fee with information that could be found online. Here are some tweets that show that I was not the only person who noticed. Pivoting into tech can change your life and has changed many peoples lives but being mindful and understanding about where or how you receive information is important.

Should You Believe Soulmates Exist in the Real World

Do you believe in soulmates? I believe that soulmates exist. But I also believe with a world so big it is nearly impossible to find your soulmate. Also, someone’s upbringing and environment can alter whether or not you are soulmates because those things alter your personality and who you are. With soulmates, I feel as if it can be anyone of any nationality, of any gender, of any age… even as crazy as that sounds. Greek Mythology “According to Plato’s Symposium, human beings originally consisted of three genders-male, female, and a combination of the two. However, Zeus feared the power of the combined human form, and so cut humans into separate males and females, resulting in a perpetual ache of separation and a longing to regain completeness by finding one’s soulmate.  Greek mythology shares the soul-mate idea with many other cultures throughout history that have stories to explain the strong…

Reviewing The Book Meeting Jesus Again For The First Time’

photography of clouds and forest trees

I decided to read “Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time” by Marcus J. Borg. I would like to start this by saying, I will be reading this book again to be able to research his notes further. Borg ends each of his chapters with notes that support the context of each chapter. I loved that Borg approached this book similar to a research paper. Many books regarding spirituality are typically written with quotes or context from the related religious text but Borg spent a great deal of time researching his points to share his thoughts with us. I believe this is more valuable than an open letter about meeting Jesus because I was needing to find Jesus again, you would have to provide someone like me with concrete support. Simply saying Jesus is real or giving a simple quote would not be enough for me as a reader. For…

How Good Do You Have To Be Book Review

good vibes only text

Reflecting on the book “How Good Do We Have to Be” by Harold S. Kushner reminded me of a concept my high school religion teacher taught me. He would say that most people see God in the same way that they see Santa, SantaGod. Kushner’s book really emphasized and opened up my eyes to this concept even more. I appreciated Kushner’s approach to the book may be far better than I did in “Living a Life That Matters.” Kushner wrote this book for people who have suffered a great tragedy that may be unexpected in hopes of reminding them of their faith. Kushner starts this book with chapters discussing much of why people suffer. Many of the ideas and concepts of suffering were related to similar ideas and concepts in other religions. I believe suffering is universal and people feel it in a multitude of ways. Most of the ways…

The Universe Is Always a Better Teacher Than You being Spiteful

Ya’ll, I used to be so spiteful. I would try to teach people lessons by using spite. Growing up I was the youngest kid on my block. Now it was never more than 6 kids total but for most of my childhood, it was 3 of us. My brother is the oldest, my neighbor being closer in age to him and me trailing my brother by a whole ass 5 years. You already know that most of it were spent with me being “too little” to do anything. But you see, I was mostly the brains behind our operations. So, when we had creative ideas we wanted to explore I was the spark despite being “too little.” Storytime! We decided to build a lemonade stand and the guy who owned the corner store down the hill said that we could set up outside the store. We built this dope ass…
