White Lotus Official Trailer

Shea and I broke down and ordered Crave again after having it a few years ago but letting it slide.  This show was a big reason why we wanted it (along with “Last of Us” which is our next binge)…  

“Tell Me About A Time You’ve Gone Above and Beyond To Help Someone?”

One of the great ironies of the working world is that we often questions like the one above in interviews of new staff but then hire people who don’t feel empowered to actually go “above and beyond” to help people.

So You’ve Had Covid…

I’ve probably been overly obsessive about reading and rEsEaRcHiNg about Covid ever since the pandemic began – all aspects from the science of it to the economic and political implications to the occasional conspiracy theory (well, blitzed with them every time I open a social media site!)

But now that Halloween’s here, disappointed (but probably not surprised) to learn it’s a hoax (or at least an exaggeration.) Anyhow, a good reminder about not believing everything you see online and doing the minimum of research before spreading […]

It sounds like I’m joking but I honestly love the idea of things going into the public domain a lot earlier than they currently do so creators can put unique visions and ideas based on existing characters into the world…

I’m The King of Twitter! (At Least the Ice Cream Truck Section)

Kinda funny that my most successful tweet of all-time (at least based on Likes) is a throwaway reply to a heart-warming viral thread about ice cream trucks… A couple at the campground where we spend summers have an ice cream cart. He said that it was parents & grandparents, not kids, who came running when […]
