I received a very strange call from an Iranian friend today. Here’s how it went:
Him – “You post a lot of political stuff online, can you post for the US to go all in hitting Iranian Islamic Republic targets to support the protest / revolution?”
Me – “Ummm… Ok… Isn’t your family in Tehran?”

Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado: “Do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously. Defend it fiercely. Because freedom is not just an American promise—it is the hope of the world.”
Why do people have to go through an entire architectural drawing and engineering process for every single building we create? If a building plan is approved by government officials, that plan should be available on the approved list for anybody to use at any time going forward. It is stupid that people have to spend $20,000 or $30,000 every time they want to build a box that has been approved and built literally hundreds of thousands of times before.… read more “Why Aren’t All Approved Building Plans Available to All?”
