Pawn Shops are Microcosms of the World
Amazon Adventure: Week One
Hi guys. I’m emailing you from Amazon where the team and I are in our seventh day of research. Camping out here has been an incredible experience. You can’t even imagine how noisy it is in the jungle at night and how frightening it is hearing sounds coming from creatures that you can’t see but [...]
Creative Advertising Ropes Me In
I’ve noticed that I’m not bothered nearly as much right at dinnertime by telemarketers. I think they’re getting smart and using call center consultants to re-think how and when they reach the public.

Do I Tell Her
My friend of five years, let’s just call her Kate, has bad breath. Wikipedia calls bad breath halitosis, I call it obnoxious and embarrassing. I’m embarrassed for her because I don’t know if she realizes how bad it is and I’m embarrassed for me because this is a close friend and I don’t want to [...]
My Job

Things I Wish I’d Asked My Grandpa
My grandpa and I were never particularly close. It sounds mean but I didn’t really think that I would regret much when he died since we hadn’t really known each other all that well anyway. But when he did pass away, it turned out that there were a lot of things that I regretted including [...]
