I won’t bore you with a lot of them, but here’s one that will give you an excellent idea of the state of things. It shows, over the last 30 years, the cost to companies to transport bulks goods (wheat, copper, coal, oil, iron ore, etc.) by cargo ship around the planet: (...
A movie about a society that lives on a train. This movie reminded me, in ways, of The Maze Runner with a pinch of Hunger Games. But not really. It’s it’s own thing. It’s own very weird, very strange, very unique thing. I really really liked it. It wasn’t very deep, ...
On a re-watch a few years ago, it wasn’t nearly as well done as I had remembered, but did okay telling the story of a gang (the eponymous Warriors) who had to make it to their home turf, after falsely being accused of killing the guy who was trying to unite the rest of the g...
There’s something mysterious about a truly successful set. The comic spends no small amount of time laying groundwork, and then lands a punchline that lights up the room. There’s a palpable effect; people loosen up, they’re more likely to laugh at things they might have only chuckled ...

When someone complains about being tired but they’ve never worked retail during the holiday season. When your friend says they’re stressed, but they’ve never had their Photoshop file crash without saving right before a deadline. When someone asks for your feedback on their portfolio and you...
There’s been a lot of discussion on how effective social media is, whether it’s a feasable model for brands to begin to build business upon and what not. So I thought rather than talking about how it is or isn’t, I’d test it out in a goofy and thoroughly unscientific, but kin...
