Smart v. Intelligent

Common sense is not common anymore and it is due in part to the fact that many of us have lost, or have not been taught to use, our critical thinking skills.

Voltron: Legendary Defender Season 2 (Netflix)

Although I am a naysayer of all things reboot, Voltron is one of those shows that I can say has benefited from tech advances in animation. It deserved to be remade and this incarnation delivers. Loosely based on the original storyline, all of the main characters return – with the addition of Shiro, pilot of […]

Supporting Your Friends’ Dreams Shouldn’t Be Optional

I was raised by a flexible old school family that taught me to always patronize home grown products, services and peeps’s wacky business ventures.
