The NEW (and more fun) Triple Bottom Line
David Plotz, co-host of Slate’s Political Gabfest, has a theory about political campaigns. Whoever looks like they are having more fun will win. Tell me which of the following sounds more fun: * People. Planet. Profit: The triple bottom line. * Sex, drugs, and fast cars: The fast life. It's a
The Stupid Google Pixel Magic Eraser Commercial
I'm not sure when this happened but, New Year's Eve is now the most important sports day on the calendar. Back-to-back College Football Playoff games, including TCU vs Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale (a couple of guys wearing Hypnotoad shirts walked into the coffee shop when I was
The Xbox Series X Box
I was definitely a good boy this year because Santa left a shiny new Xbox Series X under the Christmas tree — with my name on it. It wasn't wrapped in gift wrapping paper because, well, to be honest with you, I bought it for myself. It had my name on

iPod
The first song I ever stole on the internet was Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg. Imagine me, 11 years old, singing along to a song about alcohol I never drank and weed I never smoked, bopping my head to the beat and singing, "Sippin' on gin and juice!," while

Press Coffee on Apache Blvd was a haven for me. A place away from home where I could work away on my MacBook and get stuff done. When it closed down, a small part of me was lost. It was a chain but, it was a local chain with great
