What if We Had LinkedIn Wrapped?
You’ve probably seen your Spotify Wrapped by now. Honestly, big fan of my 2020 playlist – even though it’s slightly embarrassing – but I’m left wondering what a year in review would look like if we branched out towards other platforms.

What if we referred to other countries in their own language?
I always thought it strange that we refer to other countries by their name in our language rather than their language. After all, we generally call other people by their name in their language. But when it comes to countries, we say France, not le France. And, conversely, the French say, Les États-Unis, not the […] More

It’s Refreshing to Have a First Dog Again
It’s refreshing to have a first dog again. Actually, it would be refreshing to have one first dog, but come January, we’ll be welcoming two dogs and a new cat into the White House. While a Biden-Harris administration will undoubtedly be good and fresh for a variety of reasons, sometimes it’s nice to focus on […] More

It isn’t an exaggeration to say that in 1986 Nintendo changed gaming forever with The Legend of Zelda. The breadth and depth of the NES title revolutionized what it meant to make video games for home consoles. With Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, released the following year, Nintendo wanted to see if lightning could […] More

“Till Death Do Us Blart”: The Best Podcast You Haven’t Heard Of
If you’re a fan of podcasts chances are you’ve run into the McElroy brothers.

8 foreign idioms that will make your day
I can still remember being asked to illustrate the idiom “once a blue moon” back in second grade and the utter panic I felt when I could not wrap my mind around the expression.

Trump’s Breakup With FOX News Is Dangerous
In a country loaded with corporate media, 24-hour news cycles, and a disdain for public news, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing a shift in the media that people of different demographics are consuming. A lot of us get our news from Twitter. Some of us might listen to NPR on the way to work. […] More

Twitter Stories Are An Abomination
Twitter introduced Twitter Fleets recently. It’s, erm, interesting. Look, I don’t know about you, but I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has their preference of places to post their stories. If you’re a bit wild, you probably add to your Snapchat story most often. If you’re trying to flex a bit, share some knowledge, or send […] More

It’s Refreshing to Have a First Dog Again
It’s refreshing to have a first dog again. Actually, it would be refreshing to have one first dog, but come January, we’ll be welcoming two dogs and a new cat into the White House.
