Here's something people may not know about Google, the most popular search engine in the world pays companies to make Google their standard search engine. If you buy an Apple product, or a Samsung product, for example, it'll come with Google pre-ins...

Adidas mismanagement of Yeezy is quite comical

This is one of those situations where it feels like every single thing you do makes the last thing you did worse. Adidas terminated the partnership with Ye, aka Kanye West, almost two years ago at this point and since then, the way they've handle...

First of all, I think the photographs of my meal right now gives away the one country where I'm definitely not in right now. But anyway. Yesterday I had coffee, which turned into beer, which turned into beers, plural, with a friend, and everything...

Hashtags no longer matter as much we think, the head of Instagram said that clearly, hashtags don't do anything for reach on Instagram, probably that's a bit different on X. But anyway they still exist, and they're still used, and some hashtags on X...

A while back I mentioned my early mid-life crisis, which then peaked when I got excited about paying a new pan. But good things come with it as well. Because of my mid-life crisis, I'm now investing in assets I didn't necessarily care about before,...

Update: hurry up and wait

Hurry up and wait is unfortunately what you do at airports. You hurry up to get there, and wait to go through security, and wait while going through security, and wait while waiting for your plane. Still at least I got a nice beer from DutyFree, whi...

hashtag first world problems, but this is probably the worst airport I've ever been to

I apologise in advance because this is going to be essentially a long rant in which I list all the things I'm complaining about at the moment. Let's start with the serious stuff, the 'non-firstworldproblemsy' stuff. My back hurts and I don't know w...
