Brian Schnabel's Head Space – Where Magic and Mind Digitally Interlace

Acute Emotional Agitation and Mental Fatigue from Prolonged Exposure to Political Media and Negative Social Interactions

Friday, June 26, 2026: 8:11 PM: I’m really in a pissed off mood at the moment. I clearly need to back off the Fox News briefings I’ve been following more than usual of late. I need to avoid talking to people who have nothing good to tell me. Does it matter if Iran is blown up or the planet suffers because our president negotiated with terrorists, despite our government’s post-9/11 promise never to do so?

Picking Up My Guitar Again but This Time on My Own Terms

Friday, June 26, 2026: 3:51 PM: As I sat down with my 37 year old classical guitar, inspecting it to see why the D string was constantly breaking, I was amazed at the fury that suddenly flared within me. However, upon reflection, I guess it really shouldn’t surprise me.

Oh! That’s the Fix? Just Remove It: Goldberg Realty Property Management Logic at Work

Friday, June 26, 2026: 3:41 PM: After hearing how Goldberg Realty planned to handle a neighbor’s apartment issue this afternoon, I just shook my head. Seriously? We now just cancel out features in an apartment because they are too inconvenient for a landlord to maintain?

AI, 3D Printing, and Sailboat Design: Blindness Doesn’t Have to Stop Childhood Dreams After All

Friday, June 26, 2026: 2:55 PM: I realized my childhood dream of designing or building sailboats could be achieved with AI-enabled 3D printing software. Obviously, the 3D printer would need to be a part of the setup as well so I could generate models I could feel to ensure AI is interpreting my ideas correctly.

Accessibility That Surprised Me: Receiving My First Braille Credit Card

Thursday, June 25, 2026: 3:52 PM: I got laughing when I took a replacement credit card out of the mail the other day and activated it. When Discover asked me what style I wanted, I selected the braille option. When I made the selection, I figured they had just done something clever with the braille, making a decorative pattern out of it.

Quick Indoor Cycling for Stress Relief: Why I Wear Spin Shoes All Day at Home

Thursday, June 25, 2026: 9:52 AM: I’m walking around my apartment with spin shoes on today so when I want to use the bike for short intervals of 3-5 minutes at a time, I can do so without having to waste time taking them on and off. They are pretty comfortable to wear. They just feel a little weird to be walking around in, me originally having bought the spin shoes for use at Retro Fitness, when there was a gym here in Newton NJ.
