I worked for a retail clothing company called Steve & Barry's which was very much like The Office. One year the bonus was a novelty 5 pound Hershey chocolate bar. I ended up with 20 pounds of chocolate because several people in my

I think part of that is "Moneyball" has tended be more successful over the course of a 162 game season rather than the 5 or 7 game series of the playoffs where there can be a lot more variation in outcomes. I also think the analyt

If you're a baseball fan, the book 'The Glory of Their Times' mentioned in the NYT article is a phenomenal read. It's the recollections of about 20 players about their playing days in the early 20th century, and is a rem

I moved from Dallas to Minneapolis and was certain I would feel safer walking and biking because of it's reputation as a bike friendly city. In Dallas, it seemed somewhat understandable to me for drivers not to except to see pedestrian

I can only consume so much information, and most of the news is presented as low-quality information or information pollution. The 24/7 news cycle makes the quality problem even worse. Here are two more similar links: http:/&#x2F

I did the same thing and encourage friends and family to do it too. News is generally presented as low-quality information that should be consumed as rarely as possible. Here are two good write ups on quitting the news: http://ww

Big fan of the app clozemaster. Duolingo was great to begin with, but now seems so slow and has ads after every lesson. Clozemaster has a lot more variety in terms of vocab. And it offers lots of different languages: https://www.
