Why I Built WordGeek (After 20 Years)
Posted on April 18th, 2026
20 years ago was the last time I really built a website. Back then, things were different, yet simpler in some ways, but also a lot more limited. I’m not going to pretend I know where to start with this, but I guess that’s the point. Sometimes you have to start somewhere and figure the rest out as you go. Fast forward to today, and here we are again. This time feels different, though. Not because that technology is better, but because I actually understand why I want to build something like this.
WordGeek isn’t here to be the biggest site or the most popular. It’s here where ideas, thoughts, projects, blogs, photos, and much more reside. Having a place to put these brainstorming inspirations is why this website was created in the first place. Whether it’s computers, random ideas, things I’ve learned over the course of time, or just something interesting I came across, this site is where it ends up.
Every day is an opportunity to learn something new. That’s always been how I see things. You don’t have to master everything, but you should at least stay curious. So that’s what this is. Not perfect, just real, and if something here helps someone else, even for a little bit. Then this site did its job.
You Wanted More

Life has a funny way of delivering packages to us that sometimes we did not ask for. These packages of life can be good or bad based on overall outcomes. Some packages even come broken during shipment. The mirror thought of going through it yourself with little support could build strength, happiness, and drive a person to reach their goals faster. However, this “loneliness” can also weigh a person down, make them feel unwanted, unappreciated for the work they have done, and put them in a mindset that can sometimes feel inescapable. So… how do we manage this? What ideas can help a person become more motivated? These questions and many others don’t come easy with an answer. Putting yourself first is usually the end goal; however, being married sets a completely different tone. How to juggle multiple balls even when your plate is already full seems like a hard challenge to overcome. People usually make sacrifices at this point, but at what cost?
There are many famous quotes from varies people, but I believe that the one that sticks out the most is: “You can’t protect what you don’t understand.”
The Constitution
Posted on May 5th, 2026
Is this conversation really up for debate over the Twenty-Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? As it stands, Section 1 states, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.”
This amendment prohibits any person from being elected President of the United States more than twice. Long before it was ratified, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both chose not to seek a third term, helping establish the two-term tradition that lasted for generations. That tradition was broken by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to a third term in 1940 and then a fourth term in 1944.
On March 21, 1947, Congress approved the amendment and submitted it to the states for ratification. The process was completed on February 27, 1951, when 36 of the 48 states had ratified it. At the time, Alaska and Hawaii had not yet been admitted as states. Once the required number of states approved it, the amendment became part of the Constitution.
Roosevelt’s third and fourth terms raised serious concerns about whether any president should be allowed to serve unlimited terms. That reality helped lead to the ratification of the Twenty-Second Amendment. To change or repeal it today, another constitutional amendment would be required, which means approval by two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states, or 38 out of 50 states.
Do we really want to repeal the Twenty-Second Amendment? I think two terms should be plenty for any sitting President. Maybe if Congress could stop being so shortsighted, We the People might have more of a voice on the real issues facing this country. This is not about one person or one political moment. It is about whether too much power should ever remain in one office for too long.
