I heard the most amazing story about Napoleon. Apparently he instructed his aides to hold on to his mail for as long as three weeks before opening any of it. Why? Because he knew that most problems resolve themselves if he didn’t knee jerk and over-react to them. So by waiting until he knew about …
So, just landed in Logan, 1am. Need an Uber to my hotel downtown. I was worried…it’s kinda late, right? Not so. And what amazes me is how Logan and the world has totally embraced #Uber (and Lyft). It’s not just “a something”, it is: “it”. Walk thru the airport and terminal exits…1,000’s of signs pointing …
I love React, and mostly like Jest (and Jasmine and Java predecessors) but I will say: I spent a WAY MORE ENORMOUS time chasing simple debugging of jest scripts. Simple stuff. Why?

Just in time for the holiday season – Texting manners from Emily Post. Growing up we were taught manners in how to greet people, introduce people – remember: Steve this is Pat; Pat this is Steve – dining manners – napkins on your lap, and where to place your napkin if you were leaving or …
Happy Friday. Where do YOU work? Think about it. Today I decided to “work” in Sandwhich MA — an under”spoken” town. But what’s to “speak” if you have your computer, your vision of life, your sense of smell, cold-wet-sand, and the loving wind? (and free WiFi, right?) Point: Be the Shark and Smart; work wearever …
