Google News rolled out a redesign in the last few days, and it’s a great way for people to get their headlines and what interests them the most. I get my news from the Google Now feed on my Android home screen, but this app works in a similar way of delivering the news to …
The Washington Post published an op-ed on March 29th entitled “I Am Tired of Being a Jewish Man’s Rebellion” by Carey Purcell, and I wish I could say that it was an April Fools joke. The article comes across as idiotic and makes her sound like she isn’t the brightest bulb in the box. Now …
Back in October I talked about The Athletic and paying for your news, and how I had hoped that they would come to the NYC market. Well, yesterday, February 12th, NYC officially launched on their website, and in anticipation of it I signed up a few weeks ago, and so far have not been disappointed. The …
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last #BellLetsTalk day, and despite being a Canadian initiative, I have a closer connection to the cause each year. Bell Canada, the phone company of the Canadians, is donating 5 cents today for every Tweet using the #BellLetsTalk hashtag or watches their video (below). It’s the …
Would you pay for your news? What about insights from the top reporters? Would it change if it was business news or sports? The Athletic is taking that approach, starting a subscription service, writing about the NHL/NFL/NBA/MLB and NCAA, with the intent to make you “Fall in love with the sports page again”.

CNN ran an article recently on how to travel if you are young and broke. And while it was written by a fellow millennial, I think that this is a bad list, and unreasonable for most young people, especially if they don’t have tons of money (which is who it’s geared for). Here are some …
Today is the 7th Annual Bell Let’s Talk day. The Canadian telecommunications company, Bell, has made this day a yearly focus on Mental Health issues, nd encouraging everyone to talk about it. Last year I posted on it, simply describing the cause, and this year it has taken on a new meaning after losing a friend …
After the shooting at Fort Lauderdale airport on Friday, the focus of many people was on the wrong thing. He took the gun out of his luggage and loaded it in the bathroom before returning to the baggage claim. The fact that the gun was in his luggage was inconsequential. People need ways to transport …
Yesterday I read an article, in which the writer blamed the news deliverer for bringing him bad news, before it had been confirmed. I’ve discussed similarly in the past and I am going to focus on it again today. People need to go to news sources they trust. If you can’t rely on a news source, …
