Why should the rich be the only ones who get in on all of the good things in life? Well, yes, of course, they're rich. But why does that matter? Yes, you're right, I understand that their riches often pay for the luxuries that us Hoi polloi have. Fine, so they…

The fastest sleep you’ve ever had.
Duty now for the future. Take the train, Jane.
There’s no shame in loving what you love.
It’s a long walk to your gate. Be prepared.
You really should use airplane mode when you fly, for a load of good reasons.
Surely one of the most annoying aspects of travel is keeping your boarding pass with you before you fly. Sometimes the hang-up is when you print it at home: you find that you don't have ink in your printer. Once you to the store to buy the printer ink, at home, the…
Being a pilot is serious business.
. . . it's really really where I'm going to.
If you're a gamer, then do we have the holiday for you, and this is a win-win situation, for sure. Firstly, it's based in and centered around Brussels, Belgium, where the history looms large, the beer cannot be beaten, nor can the food.…
If you don't use Southwest Airlines, you might want to skip this post as this is focused on that carrier. Then again, you might find the subject-matter interesting anyway.
Financial wizard Gary Leff writes here about four ways to get a free empty seat next to you on Southwest airlines. An empty…
They say that history repeats itself. Especially when the connectivity is good.
We don't know about you, but we still shiver with tears when we look back on the videos of Notre Dame on fire. Even if you've been to Paris dozens of times, that most marvelous of buildings still makes our heart race when we walk up to its doors. On 15 April 2019, just…
Here's another instalment of our ongoing Hey Presto parade of Webcams, worldwide. You may not be able to be there, but you can be there, if you know what we mean. Webcams provide a real-time connection to places, events, or situations that you might not be able to experience otherwise. This can create…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
Put the hammer down, good buddy. There’s a Smokey bear in the air.
Happily, this is, for the most part, a philosophical question and not a pragmatic one. But what if? You're not a pilot, you've never even flown a Cessna 172 and now you, the hero, are faced with the plot of a bad movie. The pilot and co-pilot are not fully cognizant. …
How to be nimble with your gimbal.
Some billionaires are solely focused on themselves. We won't necessarily point any fingers, but you'll know who they are. Lately they're getting back press for the way that they treat themselves, sometimes appearing almost like a clown or buffoon. It's truly a shame that they don't look at the bigger picture and…
A topic we often highlight - billionaires - is high on everyone's list nowadays , especially if you live inside TicTok. Achieving that amount of money was only a dream for most entrepreneurs even ten years ago. But, thanks to the connected world of the internet coupled with the sheer creativity of those…
We love cars, although we're sensible enough to know that their place (as it is now) on earth is not helping the environment at all. Having lived in and experienced a number of locations in the world, even as the earth burns, we still see six litre pickup trucks and supercars trundling (and…
