I have not traveled since March, so I was unsure what to expect for my recent trip from Arizona to North Carolina. The biggest change at the airports is closing down gates and shops. This is a strategy aimed at reducing the volume of people concentrated in certain locations.

I know it doesn't sound as cool as The Man With the Golden Gun. Nevertheless, I have become the guy who travels with three laptops. 

The primary laptop is the MacBook Air of course. It is my primary writing tool, after all. By the way, the M1 processor is worth the...

I miss cool music videos. In the music video for Land of Confusion by Genesis, Ronald Reagan is depicted as someone who lost his marbles. I think it's accepted that he was suffering from some type of dementia toward the end of his presidency. At the end of the video, it...

In a situation last week, NOT having AutoSave screwed me much to the chagrin of abrahamKim . AutoSave is a must-have when writing on the web. The AutoSave that screwed me was the one rolled out to Microsoft products within the last couple...

I was having a conversation with my girlfriend yesterday, in which I reiterated my belief that most Christmas cards are a waste of time.
