I update this site on a very frequent basis, am passionate about what I do, respond to comments from my readers and engage my audience, am very active beyond the keyboard, and am not in any sort of 'ivory tower.'
Unfortunately, blogging is no full-time well-paying position by any means.
If you enjoy my work and would like to donate something -- even a dollar that you would never miss -- as a sign of appreciation, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you!
I fully agree with your statements:

NIST is a government agency. So a government agency investigates...the government's 9/11 story. You might also like this saying:
