When I was packing my bags for my recent business trip (see London Calling), I realized I needed to buy sensible work shoes. As an instructor, you spend a lot of time on your feet walking around the training room to help people navigate their computer screens and simulation instructions. Because of the casual dress […]
Adam Rogers goes on a quest to find out why booze is so important to our society. From the moment fermentation was discovered to the day we domesticated yeast, our civilization has spent millenia perfecting the art of producing alcoholic beverages. Some claim that the first humans that settled down and became farmers did so […]
London is one of the top ten destinations for tourists around the globe. Its rich cultural heritage, albeit due to the reaches of their once worldwide empire, makes the city vibrate with historical significance and character; Londoners are very well educated, polite and carefree. Well dressed and elegant people flood the streets in their best […]
The last time I flew in a Business Class seat on an international flight was 2009. United, Delta and Northwest had recently unveiled a plan to upgrade their fleet to lie flat seats, a subject I was familiar with as an airline seats program engineer. At the time the most recline you could get to […]
To you – yes you – who may not realize you are an asshole, I see you walking in the middle of the street, hallway or walkway looking at your phone, side by side with another human, blocking the space the rest of us must occupy to pass you by. You raise your gaze long […]

Breath and take in the aromas, Discern between all colors of the spectrum. Enjoy the breeze, the cold fresh air, Or any guiding […]
I always jump into things from the deep end. I do well at first but the moment I start treading water, I panic. When you are fostering an introverted dog you need nerves of steel and precision movement. For Zach, I was willing to become the perfect adoptive parent. Boy was I in for a […]
History was made when Obama nominated and Congress ratified Sonia Sotomayor to the SCOUS of America. Justice Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican blood, a country that has lived under US rule for over a century. It validated that excellent people can emerge from the Bronx in NYC, with a cosmopolitan view and a strong sense […]
Two Argentinian women were brutally murdered in Ecuador after they refused their attackers sexual advances and fought to not get raped. The mysoginistic Latin American press made the mistake of labeling the news “Women Traveling Alone…”. The fact is there were two of them so it is preposterous to assume they were alone as they […]
Growing up with a Super Nintendo was so much more fun thanks to Capcom and Street Fighter. Ryu (sounds like Rio) and his pal Ken use their super cool karate chops to prove to the world they are forces to be reckoned with. In an alternate reality where the supernatural meets the ordinary mundane existance […]
