Life Updates: My Diabetic Story, Career Transition, and Content Creation

A lot has been going on for me, and I wanted to give you a look into what is going on.

First things first, I did a video a while back about some health problems that I was having. I was having some strange Premature Ventricle Contractions that took me to a cardiologist.

What a year it has been, hard to tell it apart form the previous year. We have been through so much with the pandemic upending our lives.

Metaverse - Is it the end, or the beginning

Meta Verse

Not meta in the sense of self reference, and not a verse in the sense of epic, lyrical poetry.

Rather Meta in the sense of greater or transcendent and verse as in universe. However, since the metaverse exists within the known universe it logically can not be greater than that which contains it.

Which is an apt description because, in the end, it is merely the illusion of infinite space, time and possibility.
