I spend many evenings tinkering on my computer. My activities may range from composing blog posts (like this one) to 3D print projects, among others. As I continue to pound away at the keys on my computer, I turn on the television for background noise. I could easily turn on music or a YouTube channel. Reflecting on it, I turned to television, at least partially, to account for the elapsed time. The start and end of shows will mark the incremental hour or half-hour chunks.
I turned to Investigation Discovery, a channel that specializes in true crime stories. The names of hosts like Tamron Hall, Joe Kenda, Paula Zahn, and Candice DeLong become familiar, and so do their styles. Having studied both engineering and psychology, I am fascinated by both the how and why people commit crimes. My wife often refers to it as ‘The Evil People Channel’.
