The R2 Unit We Deserve vs. The Cloud We’re Selling Our Souls Into

Ever since A New Hope dropped in 1977, and I saw how R2-D2 helped Luke & Han rescue Leia, I’ve wanted my own Droid. Not a marketing gimmick, not a surveillance drone—just a little friend to help organize my life. A pocket R2-D2. For decades, I chased every piece of tech that came out, hoping to find the magic. Digital notebooks, mini laptops, PDAs, iPads, iPhones, Verizon’s Official Star Wars themed Droid phone (yeah, I’m that nerdy). Nothing stuck.

We Started a Free Pantry

Times are tough, but we have a little extra. Instead of shaming people for needing help, we are sharing what we can. I have been a Buddhist for over a decade. I’ve read all the major religious texts as well as the major philosophy and ethics books as part of getting my degree in philosophy. My wife is a deacon at her Episcopal church. One thing we agree upon is that all humans deserve care, love, support, the right to food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare. Actually, we agree on a lot, but most of it is irrelevant to this post.

‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ – Matthew 25(40)

If you have the means to help your local community, I encourage you to do so. If you can’t provide a pantry like ours, find somewhere to donate time or money. Because our budget for this is coming out of our pockets, we have limits. If you’d like to help us support our community, please visit our page about the pantry and donate.
