  • What every techie knows

    Tech support picked up to ask what the problem was. The apps weren’t talking to each other across devices. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t find a way to change the permissions or encourage them to work at all. After walking me through all the steps that I could use to remedy the problem,…

  • Sorry, I was late

    It was a picture of an adorable cub, hanging on to the screen door. In the background were woods. What you likely couldn’t see was the mama bear lurking, ready to attack anyone who came close to her cubs. The picture could have been a beautiful shot of what it’s like to live in a…

  • Avoiding the virus

    “Excuse me, do you have the [insert object] that’s all over my For You page?” The sales associate sighs and proceeds to locate the product. There will be 20 more people coming to look for the same product as well. They have to have it. Everyone, it seems, is driven by the trend cycle. Before,…

  • Just a little disparagement

    I watched a video by Olivia Olfactory. It was a brief storytime about her experience with an unnamed brand. She speaks about the work she did to develop videos for a contracted brief, only to later have the brand annul the contract on the grounds of a non-disparagement clause. It turns out that some time…

  • A new trend to consider

    Since the written word, humanity has sought to spread our ideas as far as possible. We ran messages to other villages, attached notes to birds, and finally figured out how to transmit ideas via wires and almost seemingly through the air. We will always yearn to communicate with one another, and with that we will…

  • Another round of the Skin Infusion

    I decided to do another round of the Augustinus Bader Skin Infusion. This time, I started with the Skin Infusion facial their Skin Lab in New York City. I still have one vial of the treatment left to go. And I started this program well over a month ago. And that is a problem. This…

  • What does Cricket Song smell like?

    I’m drawn to fragrance names. Just by what I read alone, I’ll give myself a little spray before doing my research. With a name like Cricket Song, I had no idea what to expect from this Floraiku fragrance. If I had stopped to think, I would have probably thought of something vegetal, or perhaps the…

  • Use every tool

    I told her what I was dealing with. It was a complaint about a job and how I was doing there. But instead of commiserating, she made a suggestion. Something just didn’t seem right. Maybe it was time I talked to someone. It was the kind of suggestion that initially might have made me feel…

  • Running out of ideas

    To be a good writer, you can’t just write. You need something to write about. You need to read. You need to experience life. You need to have conversations. Words don’t just flow from nothing. You need to build a source from which you can draw. I have drained by source, and I have given…

  • Is this a PR crisis for FIFA?

    If I were Gianni Infantino, I’d think I had a crisis on my hands. I would be highly cognizant that there are cries around the world calling be corrupt. As the leader of FIFA, I would see that as a problem that takes away trust in our ability to steward the world’s game. But I…
