Meta/Facebook is having a tough time. Facebook recently announced that it had fewer daily active users during the quarter for the first time ever. The company's stock dropped 25%, slicing off $230 billion of market cap--the most of any company ever.

The Church of Twitter has never served me one single ad that I am interested in. The latest one I saw this morning crowed the following: "The moment you've been waiting for is here. The Winter Olympics begin tonight on NBC and Peacock." I recognize NBC, but what's this Peacock??...

I keep my work laptop set on PST because that's the timezone for my primary client. Half the year (including right now), PST is one hour behind AZ. In March, when everyone except Arizona and Hawaii spring forward, AZ will be on the same time as PST.

Several years ago when I was on-site in Baltimore, I noticed a fellow consultant was wearing a very shiny new pair of dress shoes. I said, "Hey, those look like some fancy shoes." He proudly showed them off and said not only do they look good, but they are very...

I woke up to the sad news this morning that rockstar Marvin Lee Aday a.k.a. Meat Loaf has died at the age of 74. Meat Loaf's debut album Bat Out of Hell was released in 1977, the year I was born. This album is one of the best-selling records of...

"No, you don't just throw things in there willy nilly. You load the dishwasher from back to front. By the way, that's actually the opposite advice given to women regarding wiping behavior."

"Only you could connect loading a dishwasher with wiping one's ass." 

"Well, it is a gift."
