 The day belongs to you and not the other way around. At least that's what some youtuber was telling me. I don't remember his name. It stuck a bit. I don't want to be in prison to my day. I'd like to have a say in things.  Find me on Threads  @bobthehermit Music is made by  Feslian Studios

 Surviving and thriving. I don't really know what to say about it all. I'm just writing the podcast description. I had some thoughts. These were mine as I took my walk this morning.  I did get some new shoes. "New". I bought them from eBay--second hand. These aren't shoes I'd buy new. They aren't my style. Or maybe they are? They are comfortable, and I did pay $5 for them (plus shipping)...

A worn out, marked up Bible. The pastor had one, I wanted one. Strange memories to recall.  Find me on Threads  @bobthehermit Music is made by  Feslian Studios

 Religion was a huge part of my strange upbringing. I talk about it a bit in this episode.  Find me on Threads  @bobthehermit Music is made by  Feslian Studios

 Got pretty personal in this one... I guess I just have no filter. eh. Anyway, what's in a job to you?  I shared a few thoughts.  Find me on Threads  @bobthehermit Music is made by  Feslian Studios

Something new. These days I don't really have a whole lot of time to stop and record a podcast. But I have been recording myself vent on my morning and afternoon walks. I think it'll be theraputic to feel like I'm being creative in a way.  I don't remember what I talked about in this recording. Maybe pronunciations. Maybe some tidbits about New Mexico. It's a surprise! Either way, I hope you...

What the heck is drag coefficient? Well, it's complicated. And I sure as heck am not going to give it justice here. If you really want to know what it is, start with taking a physics class from a real teacher.  But, seriously, I hope you enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed recording it.  Find me on Threads  @bobthehermit Music is made by  Feslian Studios

Talking d&d with the DM. Danny found some Covid time fun playing d&d. I started shortly after that.  In this episode we talk the campaigns we’ve played together, personalities, and character development.  Find me on Twitter  @offlohi Music is made by  Feslian Studios Image:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/384898486509

AI chatbots and image generators have made a huge impact on me and how I use the internet. My curiosity takes me to this question: how will AI be impacted with the continued advancement of computing, specifically super computers and the supposed discovery of room-temerature superconductors.  Enjoy! :) Here's the world AI created when I asked what this future may look like:  In a world wh...

 Continuing on with my question--what sparked your curiosity as a child? I had the pleasure of having my good buddy Sean on the podcast. We talked magic, the movie Hook, Calvin and Hobbs, art, board games, and Dungeons and Dragons.  Find me on Twitter  @offlohi Music is made by  Feslian Studios

 Where's our curiosity gone? There are times now where I feel as though it's gone. Survival has taken front and center. Casual curiosity has taken a back seat. This episode is an effort to change that--at least for today.  Find me on Twitter  @offlohi Music is made by  Feslian Studios

Since I was a boy, I was fascinated with populations of cities. I started with wondering what the population was in the city I lived, Santa Fe. Then I moved outward to my state, to the largest cities in my state. My journey took me to the largest cities in the USA--New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles.  The populations of cities can be really boring on the surface, but once your imagi...

I've wanted to know more about how solar panels work for a while. In this episode I explore the basics of a very complicated process. There's a lot more to explore within solar, but what I've found is that solar can for sure be a very effective supplemental power source.  I hope you enjoy this episode, I enjoyed making it!

Transportation and infrastructure has always fascinated me. As a kid, I was fascinated with streets, interstate highway systems, and public transportation. Today, there's talk about new ways to get from point "A" to point "B". One of those new ways is Hyperloop, a high speed pod that takes passengers to their destination and back many times faster than the speed of sound.  (Virgin Hyperloop)...

 This episode ended up being very personal. I learned that a self-image is largely formed in childhood, I learned that a self-image is likely not to change, and I learned that there is a tons of research in "the self", what we think about our self, awareness, and most of these concepts that are miles above my head. I also learned that I have work to do on my own self image and that as a paren...

As long as there have been humans, there have been stories. This episode began with my curiosity about how stories are used to deliver information to humans. We enjoy stories. We use stories to teach.  But my journey took a turn when I began to consider the ways stories are told. We tell stories in art, in music, in dance, in film, in podcasts. We are a story telling people. I think we all wa...

 The 2020 presidential election is tomorrow (11/3/2020). I knew a bit about the electoral college, but I wanted to know a bit more. In this episode I research the origins of the electoral college, why it's used instead of a popular vote, and the amount of people are represented based on each electoral vote, and by each House of Representatives representative.  I couldn't find any informa...

In this episode I struggle with the pronunciation of 'validity'. A lot. But seriously, I'm also struggling with how divided our country feels right now. I know that we're days before an election, and this feeling is pretty normal at this point, but it feels like more. It feels like we've been very divided for a while now, and it feels like our division might take us out.  I hope not.  I...

In this episode I'm curious about Portland. I'll be moving there really soon from Albuquerque, so I'm compelled to learn a little bit about the place before I get there. My wife's from there, and I've visited a hand-full of times since we've been married. But, there's so much more to learn.  I hope you enjoyed this episode. I'm sure there will be much more on the details of Portland. Sources:...

Hello and welcome! My name is Lorenzo and I'm a curious guy. I'm a teacher going into the business world, so I need to keep my curiosity alive. I feel like a podcast is the perfect medium in which to do this.  I hope you'll join me in discovery!
