We often ask during interviews what the best thing our guest has ever been told. Often it’s a piece of advice that has impacted their lives so deeply it’s changed their entire course.

Earlier in the mag we discussed the providence of what watch Tenzing and Sir Edmund Hillary were wearing when they summited everest.

Usually our photo series focuses (no pun intended) on big picture stuff (ok pun intended). Recently with the advent of drones we’ve been able to see the world in entirely new ways.

I’m not big on the whole crying thing, although as a fairly new dad I find I do it more now than I did when I was foot loose and fancy free. I say this because last night at a press screening for Robbie Williams “Better Man” I sat in a row of three guys […]
This year I haven’t managed to get to many movies on the big screen but somehow Cailee Spaeny has been in most of them.

July was an insane month for news and events. One of the most consequential that didn’t involve stray bullets was the sudden unexpected outage of banks, hospitals, airports, retailers and my local Wendy’s, which took over an hour to deliver my food as they had to hand write all their orders. Things were pretty dire […]

Keys-to-Go 2 Every month Logitech surprises me with an even thinner and smaller keyboard. This issue is no exception, although I’m not expecting anything at all to beat the Keys-to-Go 2 anytime soon.
