I had the amazing privilege of a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area outside of Ely, MN, this past week. While there, I pulled out the recorder and described my trip. It seemed sacrilegious to add my normal intro and close to this recording, so here it is, no processing, just a few edits for misspoken words. In the quiet spots, listen for the stillness around me. Recorded 9/14/2016.

Diesels
April 7th, 2016
Diesel technology has been around for well over a century, and, while many people malign it because of their perceptions of its smell or smoke, it's really a great way to make mechanical energy. In this podcast, I discuss what makes the diesel engine different from the gasoline engine, including some basic discussion of design and of diesel performance (on a very elementary level), and even touch very briefly on anesthesia and on life after an EMP attack.
New Life!
March 31st, 2016
Hi folks! I've had the best of intentions to get out to the Faraday cage and record another thought-filled and thought-provoking podcast for my wonderful listeners, but the Busy knob has been turned up to 'leven. (Yes, that's a Spinal Tap reference.)
CPAC 2016 - The First Two Days
March 5th, 2016
In this episode, I describe my first two days of attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, MD, in sight of Washington, DC. Admittedly, this is only going to be of interest to a subset of folks who follow Conservative politics and the current election cycle.
CPAC 2016 - An Introduction
March 2nd, 2016
Taking the Podcast on the road, I'm just outside of Washington, DC, to attend this year's Conservative Political Action Conference. Loaded with notable speakers, both thinkers and politicians (and, possibly, some thinking politicians), this will be a new experience for me. I intend to share my thoughts each evening on what I heard while here.
Automation, or Why Your Anesthesiologist and Airline Captain Aren’t Being Replaced By A Box

Some Thoughts On Education
January 31st, 2016
I'm often asked about my advice on education, so for 22 minutes, I opine about a number of subtopics and issues regarding education. I also talk about my own experience and views on becoming an anesthesiologist.

NERD ALERT!
On Self-defence and Gun Control
January 5th, 2016
A few thoughts on who is (and who is not) responsible for our personal safety. There are so many topics I'd rather talk about, but since this is in the news and on our minds, I wanted to touch on the topic.
