An Actual Conversation My Brother and I Had About...
“I am PowerPoint factory.  I crank out PowerPoint decks like it’s my job. Because it is my job.” “Oh yeah? I’m pretty good at PowerPoint.” “I assure you, you are an amateur compared to me.” “Can I ask you a question?

Book Report

But Paul Murray does you one better here - the adults are cruel to each other, too. And the adults are failing the children left and right, and not looking back. Skippy dies. He dies in...

Did We Need a Study for This?
I am trying to read this article about why Millennial Women are burning out at work before age 30, but I’ve got emails coming in, IMs pinging, two deadlines looming and eight minutes before my next meeting. I’ve got six browser tabs open, including websites to track the calories I’m eating, figure out what I’m going to prepare for a get-together at my house this weekend,...

Nailed it.
Today, I was providing some counsel in an email and needed to come up with something more polished to send to the client than simply explaining their proposed spokesperson was a brat.  How did I do? One concern is that [redacted] is often not taken seriously online, as she seems to be famous just for being famous.  She exudes a self-importance that appears disproportional to her...

Book Report
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline My rating: 5 of 5 stars In the year 2044, Columbus, Ohio is the technological capital of the country, most of the population lives in ghettos of double-wide trailers stacked one on top of the next and, most improbably, SNL is still on the air. In his debut novel, Ernest Cline has managed to [re]create two impressively rich worlds - that of America in 2044,...
