Aubs: Life as I (hope to) know it.

I’ve found myself a bit irritated with people lately, and thought of perhaps writing a “How to deal with Aubrey to stay on her good side” post. Then, thinking further, figured I could expand it to “How to treat people” because, really, these aren’t huge life lessons. Nor are they independent to…

Some great points for living right. I especially like this section:

Be present. Guilty as charged, my iPhone is often at the table during dinner or drinks. I urge you, as I’m trying to do, PUT. IT. AWAY. You are spending time with someone because you want to have conversations with them, want to be there with them. So BE THERE WITH THEM. Your iPhone can wait. That Tweet? Can wait. It’s a distraction. It chips away at the authenticity of your interaction. Try. Then try harder.

It’s such a small gesture, but it means a lot to the interaction. 

Perfect for every situation in life.

Watch this: SpaceX Dragon splashdown expected at 11:44AM ET
SpaceX’s journey into orbit hasn’t been the smoothest ride, but last week the Falcon 9 rocket finally blasted off, and a few days later the Dragon capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station. Now it’s time for the Dragon to come back home, and of course it’s all going to be broadcast live. 

This is possibly one of the coolest underdog and technology stories I’ve ever seen. The interview that went around the other day was aslo excellent, check it here. The passion is clear all the way through and heartfelt at the end, as noted.

Bad Sign? or Good Sign?

When you sign-up for a crawfish festival and they make you sign a release waver. That’s good right?
