Swearing to remember, but knowing memories fade, some turn their grief into ink. Part therapy, part tribute, memorial tattoos are common across the military and veteran community, but never alike.Sometimes they are faces. After a 19-year-old Marine died in a plane crash in California, his father put his son’s portrait on his forearm — always close, but easily hidden by a sleeve when the pain of sharing is too much.Sometimes they are sprawling, radiant murals, but other times they are barely ther

I'm writing this 38 hours before I go into a surgery on Monday that I may not survive, and while I am told I have a better than 50/50 chance of making it to this time next year, I still feel, though I am too young (early 50s) to deal with these things, that I have wasted too much time. I'd like to impart some lessons.1. A small number of accomplishments really mean something, but you often won't know which ones. I started three companies and two were successes, and even thoug
Last winter, I was asked to design permanent architectural lighting for a 100-meter-long pedestrian pathway in northern Europe. The client wanted uniform, maintenance-free illumination using addressable LEDs—but with one catch: the installation had to survive -30°C winters, summer rain, and run reliably for years without visible voltage drop or color shift.Most off-the-shelf “12V RGB” solutions failed within weeks in testing. Voltage sag over 100m caused the far end to dim by 60%, and thermal

Last month, some eagle-eyed Redditors noticed that there was something that seemed a little bit unusual about Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith’s uniform.In the picture posted to the Marine subreddit, Smith was not wearing the commandant’s official dress cap, which features golden oak leaves on the crown as well as the visor. Instead, Smith appeared to be wearing the dress cover for all other Marine generals, which lacks the gold ornamentation on the crown. Any idea why General Smith doesn
