I worked at a pizza place in the early to mid 90s in the suburbs of Chicago. The place ran its own delivery service. The service was fantastic, pizzas delivered piping hot most of the times. It wasn’t very hard for the restaurant to set

I worked for Ticketmaster back in the early 2000s and helped build an auction platform for them. Some artists did use it for the highest quality seats, and a few even did it for the entire venue, but many artists were afraid of it because

I often institute a “just” $1 jar. Anytime “why don’t we just” or “it’s just” is uttered you have to put a dollar into the jar. This applies to engineers, managers, myself, everyone. The idea is breaking the habit of trivializing work th

I was in Kauai about 10 years back and a friend of ours who hunts goats traded with a friend for some fresh of the boat tuna. We tried a bit of that tuna the first day, maybe 8 hours after it was caught, sashimi style. It was terrible, ju
