Starlink: A Game Changer

My father opted to move out into the boonies of Virginia while I attended college. He desired to get out of the city setting as the birds left the nest. When I visit him, its a nice break to catchup and it also provides me an opportunity to get off of the grid from today’s connected world thanks to the internet. You see, my father lives out in the sticks; his nearest neighbor is a few cornfields down the single lane country road that dots the numerous Virginian peninsulas in and around the Chesapeake Bay. The local utilities haven’t built out the infrastructure out of town for high-speed internet availability, so my father is dependent upon a hodge-podge of slow and expensive satellite internet providers that are more or less operating at 2G speeds when necessary with annoying data caps or cell-phone network mobile hotspots with data caps/throttling so I…

What I learned thru Covid-19

At the beginning of 2020, we were living in sunny San Diego, California as I finished up my 4th assignment during my Coast Guard career. My team had recently gotten back from a week of exercises up north in Port Hueneme, California amidst the backdrop of the very beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic going into full-swing. I walked into the Jersey Mike’s near the office for lunch that following week, into a crowded-shopping center, just to run in and grab a sandwich to-go to get back to work. As I came into the store, all the tables and chairs were moved into a corner and stacked on top of one another, inaccessible, and airport dividers were set up delineating the line for the sandwich line. As I asked for a #13, Italian sub, on rosemary bread done up ‘Mike’s way,’ I was berated with, “No mask, no sandwich!” by the…

Jason’s Acumen

Hey everyone, welcome to my site. I’ve made the decision to commit to hosting my own website again. For those that did not know, I pursued this back in 2015 with a site called hashtagnav.com that I let expire in the year after its inception. This time, I’ve purchased my domain for a five-year period of time because I got the itch to post my own content online again sans any type of platform and I regret not being able to see my posts from the past. Who knows, this site might stay up for the rest of my life if I continue to find value in it. I plan on writing up posts in my free time on subjects ranging across a variety of topics that I desire. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy some of the content! -Jason
