Allie Brosh nails it with this eloquent and funny account of life and personal enlightenment. You may be fooled by the caricatures, which have become veritable memes on their own. Her message resonates with most of us in the adult “age” bracket; the Millenials with a Gen X twist who are both happy and overwhelmed […]
Loosely based on the book La Reina del Sur by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, and translated into English, this Telenovela has been revamped for USA audiences in what can only be described as a female led version of Breaking Bad. The cinematography and writing styles are superb, and the mixing of Spanish and English dialogue glues you […]
After 10 years with ADT, well we started with Brinks anyway, and Comcast we wanted an opportunity to break free and start over. Automating a home is never an easy task but we are willing to undertake this challenge in the name of safety. Between wanting to monitor our dog during the day and not […]
It has been seven years already since the day I walked into the outpatient clinic at my local hospital for my dilation and curettage, commonly refered to as a D&C.

I cried reading this wonderful story about crew teammates who make their dream of earning Gold in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Being a University of Washington Husky, I can only imagine the pride and joy the eights crew felt after so many days out in Lake Washington in the Cut. Daniel James Brown researches each […]
Jean M. Twenge created this excellent book a few years ago, and updated it recently- to make a case for the Millennials or Gen Y. For some strange reason, my generation was seen as lazy, disloyal and well, as losers because of student debt, the abysmal job market post college and our need to stay […]
Daniel Kahneman is renowned for meshing economics, common sense and psychology into his theories. Working with a team of experts, he has set the standard for cognitive analysis. I haven’t found many books that don’t reference him or Csikszentmihalyi. The book solidly presents its case by introducing us to the mechanics of fast (System 1) […]
Jonah Berger uses his Wharton education experiences and professional study findings to explain why certain ideas stick and others flop. Although Gladwell and Kahneman have broached the subject in other books I have reviewed, no one has really dissected the art of transmitting information and making certain topics trend faster than others. Yes, marketing is […]
