An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Anyone who is a creator on any media platform, be it social media, podcasting, tutorials, documentaries, or full length feature films, you are most likely using an Apple Mac.

Right now, as I place this note into my Substack, I’m using Sequoia 15.7.7

I’ve got an older M1 MacBook Pro, an entry level model running the latest version of Tahoe. Now, if you are like me, it’s not just the hardware, it is the software.

I love Substack because I understand the “interface,” and the “platform.” Just like Substack, I understand Sequoia really well.

I’d love to be on an M5 Mac and right now I’m on an M3 MacBook Air because I want Apple to fix their operating system.

My iPhone 16 Pro Max is currently running iOS 26.6

Hopefully, fingers crossed Apple will fix the iOS in version 27.0

Here is my prediction: Everyone will absolutely love 27.01, yeah, never get the release, wait for the first “fix,” and then everyone will say, “Why didn’t they do this in Tahoe?”

Afterwards? Apple will do what it always does; it will think that its user base will want more changes and then start “mucking” with the interface!

Apple Is Getting A.i. Right!

Apple’s strategy in 2026 is absolutely brilliant. What is it? Well, it is this: You can turn off Siri and Turn Off A.i. and this is beautiful!

The Dark Side Of Apple

The one item that no one talks about is that there are too many additional prompts used for both Tahoe and for the iOS. What happened? Well, someone drank way too much Coffee Expresso’s in marketing, so I’d leave it alone. The next version will be out soon.

A New Mac

Apple has a bunch of new Mac’s coming out and if you can wait and buy it with Golden Gate pre-installed, you will be super happy.

Okay, that’s my pontification on a Monday morning here in Southern California. Hey, if the big one doesn’t hit Southern California, I’ll be back at the keyboard tomorrow with more insights.

Make it a great day!

The Technology Is Moving Fast In 2026


We are living in extraordinary times where the technology is moving so quickly. The audio presentation above is meant for “research purposes only.”

Below I have placed an article that is referenced in the audio presentation.

Ultrasound-based pacemaker noninvasively steadies the heart

The new design could offer a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

The new device is designed as a small sticker that can be worn on the chest. Tiny transducers on the sticker send ultrasound pulses through the chest to stimulate the heart. The ultrasound waves trigger the opening of certain ion channels in heart cells, an effect the researchers amplified through genetic engineering. When the channels open, they let in calcium, which signals a heart cell to squeeze and beat.

In experiments in the lab, the researchers applied ultrasound waves to engineered human cardiac cells and found that the pulses effectively maintained the cells’ healthy contractions. They also tested the ultrasound sticker on rats and found the device quickly, safely, and noninvasively corrected arrhythmias and restored normal, regular heart contractions.

Living In A Post Covid World

For five years I was the Co-founder and Producer at Big Reggae Mix. When  it was announced on March 11, 2020, that America might be shut down, I decided that it was time to step down and do something else with my time.

If you want to know the date, America was officially shut down on March 13, 2020, and since that time, I feel like I am living in a Twilight Zone episode.

WordPress is one of my favorite platforms.

While I need to write here more, these days you can find me on Substack. If you need to know my views on anything, just check out:

Half Empty or Half Full? Always Half Full. Love you.

 

Living In Surveillance America

If you think that things are bizarre now, you haven’t seen anything yet.

We are now in January of 2026 and if we don’t push back now, the pen is mightier than the sword, then we are going to have a horrific time by 2030.

Do you think that their plans will stop?

Have you ever tried to leave your iPhone at home when you go shopping?

Here is what is coming if we don’t stop it now.

Humanity is truly at the crossroads of how it will go forward.

Peace and Love to all here.

Where Did All The Humans Go?

This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis.

The other day I walked into Ralph’s and met a man who worked in the meat department.

His name is Johnny.

We looked each other in the eyes, shook hands, and then patted each other on the shoulders.

It was a big moment for me because I hadn’t done that since 2019.

After we patted each other on the shoulder, he openly said to me, “You never took a Covid Shot, did you?

I said, “No man, you can’t put that shit in me.”

Then he said, “It’s nice to meet another human. I only run into a few of you once in a while.

All I could do was laugh at myself because I sort of felt the same way.

Then we asked me if there was a particular cut of meat that I was looking for.

I said, “yeah, I’m looking for a nice piece of Filet Mignon.”

“No worries. I knew you were a human because you knew what cut of beef you wanted. You looked me in the eyes, and you weren’t staring into space.

“My entire family took the shots except for me and my cousin. A lot of my family are sick now and the ones who aren’t sick seem to be angry all the time.”

I said, “Welcome to my world. Yeah, it is what it is. I’ve had to learn to be quiet about that stuff. We are living in very strange times and if you look at the science fiction being produced it is all social engineering, predictive programming and sort of preparing us for the fake alien invasion that is coming next.

Get ready, it’s going to be wild!

This is your path.

Mindset

Half Empty or Half Full?

Do you see the glass as one half empty or one half full?

For me?

Throughout my life, I always see it as half full and most of the time I need a bigger glass.

Let people come into your life that you are supposed to and let go of always needing to be right and as I like to tell my own children, sometimes you just have to ride the wave.

We can’t change our past, we can’t predict the future, and all we have is the ever present now.

My personal mission has always been to leave people better than I find them.

If you ever get a chance, check out the movie “Sliding Doors” with Gwyneth Paltrow.

In each situation it can turn out either way, or a variation thereof, or something in the middle.

It seems that every time I have had a miracle in my own life, it was preceded by a shift in my own mindset.

You will know when it feels right.

You will have a sense of purpose when it does.

When it doesn’t, just go “next” and walk away.

All I can do is share my insights and experience with you, and if it makes sense what I write, just do it.

If what I put down here makes you scratch your own head, just smile and say “I’ll come back to this later!”

Jim Rohn, one of my favorite motivational speakers used to say, “If You Will Change, Everything will change for you.”

Well, what if you don’t want to change?

What if you love yourself just the way you are?

Okay, I gotta get on with my day. I’ll leave those answers with you.*


*Each day I make no assumptions about anything. It is a clean slate. I’ll build on what I have done before and at the same time I don’t get obsessed with it. Onward, ~Mitch

Living In A Post Truther World

The truther movement as I usually like to call it may be full of shills, or controlled opposition or even “controversial control freaks,” regardless of where the path takes you, all you can do is authentic to yourself.

Over the past few weeks I have found a new peace in my own life because I have fasted (yes I believe in fasting), and yes I have prayed. I like to pray when I fast and I realized that I don’t have to wake up anyone anymore.

Why? People believe what they believe. To get them to be flexible and shift their position is so impossible because you have to look at a situation with fresh eyes.

No, I don’t have all the answers and when I get attacked online when I do, you know in a text or on a phone call, I just laugh and say most of the time: “I don’t know what I don’t know and your guess is as good as mine.”

Most relationships have a beginning, a middle, and an end. 

For those that “get you” and stay along for the ride, I openly welcome them. For others, that make you “wrong” from the start, you have to love them enough to let them go.

Regardless of where this Substack Post finds you, I want you to know that there are no accidents and if you simply look at what is happening around you, it will all make sense after awhile.

We don’t choose who we love. Some people you’ll meet along the way and from day one you’ll just be pissed at them all the time, while others will come along, and it feels like you have always known them and you can’t imagine your life without them.

This internet thing is an amazing journey, isn’t it?

Doesn’t your life feel like an “APP” sometimes?

Aren’t you blown away with how many people come along and get you while others just ignore you.

Hey, it is what it is.

Love you, Seize the day!

Mind Control & Cannabis

Cannabis High

There are differing points of view in regarding how Cannabis, THC, and cannabinoids affect the brain.

Some will tell you, it is only those who use Cannabis that can’t be mind controlled. Others will tell you that Cannabis is “part of the mind control.”

SOUND SYSTEMS – MIND CONTROL

There are so many points of view so you may have to do your own research on the subject. While I like to look at various perspectives, after a while, I am convinced that how this herb affects you may depend on the exact strain you are smoking or consuming.

Imagine is “synchronicity,” may simply be another form of mind control

“Researchers from the University of Iowa, Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Center in Iowa explored how these cannabinoids influence light aversion, pain sensitivity, and cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), a process linked to migraine pathology.

For the study, mice were given either CBD (100 mg/kg) or THC (1 mg/kg) alone, as well as combinations of CBD (1, 30, or 100 mg/kg) with THC (1 mg/kg) before exposure to migraine triggers such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). In separate trials, CSD was optogenetically induced in familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM1) mutant and wildtype mice to assess cannabinoid effects on migraine-related pain behaviors.

Results showed that a 100:1 CBD-to-THC ratio significantly reduced CGRP- and SNP-induced light aversion in both male and female mice. The same ratio also alleviated squinting, a non-evoked pain response, but only in males. However, none of the tested cannabinoid treatments alleviated periorbital tactile hypersensitivity. In FHM1 and wildtype mice, the 100:1 CBD-THC combination did not impact CSD activity but did reduce grimace features associated with migraine-like pain. No cognitive, emotional, or motor impairments were observed.

“A 100:1 ratio of CBD:THC has a beneficial effect on some of the most bothersome migraine-related symptoms in three mouse models”, concludes the study. “Our findings support a potential therapeutic efficacy of combined CBD and THC treatments.”

Hollywood Is A Ritual

A lot of people are very concerned about the state of Hollywood in 2025. Some even say that Hollywood isn’t even Hollywood anymore.

What do you think?

Lesson Of The Week: People Are True To Their Nature

It has been my experience in this world that people are true to their nature. You can share or show them all of the evidence you want but at the end of the day they will simply revert back to what they once were.

I’ve learned that you just have to love people enough to just let theme be who they are and leave the rest behind.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. ~ Mitch Santell
