So what have you learned this week? I learned that the @ symbol was close to being deleted from our standard keyboards. It was saved by one Ray Tomlinson who, in 1971, used it in his computer code to send the first email.1 I can’t imagine a world without @!

You learn something new every day. Sometimes the lessons are hard ones, like chocolate-covered coffee beans actually contain caffeine. They’ll keep you up for days! Other things you learn could just be interesting facts, like former Apple CEO, the late Steve Jobs, worked in an apple orchard after dropping out of college.

An economy lesson — NOT
When it comes to the global economy, I don’t have the foggiest clue what I’m talking about. I watch the people who do know — economists, pundits, newscasters — and when they get happy, I get happy. If they get nervous, I get nervous, even though I may not know why. I only know a little more than nothing about personal economy. I snip coupons, look for restaurant specials (happy hour ones in particular), sign up for apps that give me discounts and join email lists to be notified of deals on my favorite web sites.

Science is a search for answers. In my case, answering questions I didn’t even ask, let alone understand. Take Professor Stephen Hawking, recently portrayed in the film, “The Theory of Everything.” Professor Hawking states that he has been searching for “a single mathematical equation that will explain the entire universe.” I’m no Einstein, but that sounds like an elegant way of responding to a million questions.

All those apps
I was getting thoroughly irritated. Whenever I tried to take a photo with my mobile phone, I got the following message:
Storage Almost Full
You can manage your storage in Settings.
Every. Single. Time. By the time I opened Settings, discovered I didn’t know what to do there, then went to my photos, deleted 50 or 100 of those, then back to my camera, the moment was long gone. (None of this made any difference, by the way. As soon as I went to take a photo, I got the Storage Almost Full warning again. Garrrr!)

What if you were offered a bigger house for free? Would you take it? Of course you would! Even if you were perfectly happy with your current place, you could always use more space, another bathroom and perhaps even a better location.

Traveling is an adventure. However, we all have our own definition of what an adventure entails. I like reclining poolside, sipping on the daily drink special, rather than venturing forth and doing something athletic, like kayaking or hiking, for example. In fact, I tried kayaking once, with disastrous results. But that’s another story for another time.

When I was a kid growing up in Southern California, there were predictions of an earthquake along the San Andreas Fault that would cause the entire west coast of the state to break away from the continent and fall into the ocean. I laugh at this now but at the time I was pretty scared.
