I saw a post on the website Cheezburger.com, which somehow floated to my SmartNews feed. First of all, writing a paragraph and then posting screenprints of comments from social media does not count as anything close to a news story. Nevertheless, since I have personal experience with the topic, I...

Amazon Prime Day
"You do Amazon Prime Day?"
"I'll browse around but I'm not expecting much. I think since they've been doing it I had one good year. Most of the time the 'deals' aren't really deals if you look closely."
"I heard you can get good deals on electronics."
"All depends on what you're looking...

There were giants?
One of the great unsolved mysteries of my father is his viewpoint on God and religion. After he passed, I found his personal Bible that was presented to him when he was fifteen years old. It is a leather-bound King James Version Bible that's very old-school. What surprised me was...
So much for Elon's takeover of Twitter
Late Friday the news reported that Elon Musk's lawyers sent a letter to Twitter informing them that he is terminating the merger agreement in which he agreed to buy Twitter for $44B. The letter alleges that Twitter breached the terms of the agreement by failing to provide accurate data about...
Here comes the director
In October of last year, I was promoted to Director of Consulting Services. The plan was for me to become the client director for the client where I was placed. Unfortunately, the client identified the dual role as a conflict of interest, so those plans were scrapped. I continued to...

Turn on the radio
"The other day some guy pulled a U-turn right in front of me. I had to turn on a dime to avoid ramming into him."
"Usually, they show U-turn. Like showing bunt in baseball."
"Not this dude. Came out of nowhere."
"And did you turn the radio down to concentrate?"
"Yes. I'm not the...

Responsibility <> fun
I was secretly hoping that the "<>" in the headline might throw a spanner into the Adagia works but looks like it rendered just fine.

Happy Birthday iPhone
The first iPhone was released exactly 15 years ago today. It was a Friday, and I took the day off from work and had a plan. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
The iPhone was actually announced in January 2007 at MacWorld in one of the greatest keynotes of all time...

Chipotle
Customer 1: "Hi. I'll take a burrito bowl to go."
Employee: "White or brown rice?"
Customer 1: "White."
Customer 2: "You know, brown rice is healthier than white rice."
Customer 1: "I know many people think that but it's not true. I read an article that explained why brown rice is actually worse...

Time-saving tips
The great thing about Nespresso coffee pods that are ostensibly good for the environment is that they are recyclable. So you take the used pods and put them into Nespresso's pre-labeled bag, seal it up, and drop it off at any UPS location, no questions asked. That's very convenient as...
