Apparently a trip could be just what your skin needs
When I get a chance to pop into a new town, I thoroughly enjoy walking through the town and visiting as many local stores as possible. You can learn a lot about a place by how a store is laid own, how customers and store staff interact, and by what products are sold. And of…

Is it true?
I am dealing with a very difficult situation right now. I sure hope there is a sort of karma in the universe. Or at least the popular understanding of it. That the good you do returns to you. And that at the end of the day, those who plot against others will not prevail. The…

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,…

Repeating myself
I was consistently frustrated. I complained to anyone who would listen just how often I had to repeat myself to that woman.

Oh, the big city
I travel to New York multiple times a year. Sometimes it’s for work, but mostly for fun. There is so much there I want to do and discover. I have a growing list of restaurants and coffee shops. And let’s not forget the museums, fashion weeks, pop-ups, conferences, and so much more that I want…

AI: Enemy or supportive friend?
If you let some tell it, AI, artificial intelligence, will change the world. In which direction fully depends on who you’re talking to. For some, it is our long last hope, spurring us toward greater and faster innovation. For others, it is the final boss, and we must fight against its rise lest it destroy…

I finally visited the much hyped Erewhon. I have some thoughts.
TikTok will have you believe that Erewhon is the most unnecessarily expensive grocery store in the world. They phrase it as a luxury grocery store with outrageous prices. If there are two things that I’m curious about it is luxury and food. This seemed like the perfect mission for me. Here’s the issue. When I…

This bigger issue you missed about the “Bezos gala”
Last week, there was an uproar about the Met Gala. And let’s be real, it was there in the weeks prior, too. It wasn’t about the general excess that the event was known for. No, it was about who would be there. Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, were named honorary co-chairs of…

On this air travel crisis
I am set to travel in just a short while. With the news as it is here in the States. I’m concerned. How soon do I need to get to the airport to make sure I make my flight? Am I going to be safe on the tarmac? Will I have an uncomfortable confrontation with…
