Yo? No.

Jun 20, 7:45PM

pleasestop Growing up – and excuse me for dating myself here a bit – kids were into Swatch watches, jean jackets, stirrup pants, and jelly bracelets.

So I Flew In An "Uber For Planes"

Jun 20, 6:22PM

unnamed-1 The first line of the email in my box read, “This is UberX for small planes.” Yet another Uber for X mystery startup in my inbox. Yay! (not really).

Jun 20, 4:50PM

kindle-paperwhite Sometimes a device comes so close to being perfect that you’d be forgiven for not realizing that with just a single tweak, it can become, in actual fact, perfect.
