    As the Twitter saga continues, I have been reflecting on the idea of genius. I have noted the news stories along the way. The level of firings that have happened indicate to me a man who is certain he is in fact the smartest person in the room, if not the world. And we are…

  • Is flying first class domestically worth it?

    I had been asking around various people if first class was worth it. I have always been curious about it, what with all of the songs and allure.
