Records and How to Enjoy Them

John Kuvinka — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 21:47:22 +0000

Every so often we feel the need to take on a new, expensive hobby. For me, vinyl records filled that position recently. I’ve been into music since a young age, obviously. And I’ve always heard that the sound of vinyl records is much better than CDs and MP3s. But, until recently I’ve never really given them a serious shot. Having started to build my music […]

Accountability in Life

Is it just me, or does it seem like people’s sense of accountability is fleeting these days? This probably sounds like an odd topic, but it’s something I’ve been pondering. Accountability is one of those things your boss probably tells you about. There’s probably a motivational poster regarding it in your office somewhere too. I’m not just talking about accountability from a work standpoint, but […]

Everyone talks about how 8 hours of sleep are essential every night. Obviously the body needs time to rest and regenerate. But what about those times when you get 8 hours and still feel exhausted in the morning? Sure, energy levels can vary for all sorts of reasons. Someone’s diet and physical activity affect their overall alertness and wellbeing. But it’s not natural to force yourself […]

Deskilling: A Slippery Slope to Skynet?

John Kuvinka — Sun, 18 Dec 2016 18:55:59 +0000

The nature of the election has left many of us with plenty of questions, concerns, and topics to complain about. I decided to take a break from writing during this time and avoid politics. In time I’ll probably find political topics of merit to discuss again. But, for now I’ve been thinking about jobs. Specifically, how deskilling has eliminated jobs in the past and may […]

Music: What I Like and Why

John Kuvinka — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 14:00:32 +0000

Anyone who knows me knows that music is a big part of my background. Unfortunately, it’s taken a back burner in the recent years of my life. But, even though I don’t compose like I used to, music is still an important part of me. It’s something that I’ve shared with my father from a young age and it’s gotten me through some tough times. Toward my […]

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’m sick of this click bait nonsense. It’s hard to traverse the internets these days without finding click bait links everywhere.

Writing a Novel: My New Project

John Kuvinka — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:00:12 +0000

Departures from the usual subjects of my writing are refreshing from time to time. Despite primarily writing about political topics I do enjoy focusing on music, the arts, culture, and other fun things. In my youth I dabbled in fiction a time or two. I even won a couple of awards for some minor pieces back then. Since then I’ve veered away from creative writing. When I was […]

When election day comes, is it best to try and pick the winner? A lot of […]
