Oh, Canada, you temptress to the north, with your universal health care and cheese-curd-and-gravy-covered fries. There are so many beautiful spots, from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island, and everything (well, most parts) in between, making it a popular spot for American vacationers. And given that it has been…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a renewed interest in classic hobbies—like crafts, knitting and gardening—along with other activities that make us feel better during these trying times. Two of the more popular pastimes/coping mechanisms have been adopting or fostering pets, and watching “The Golden Girls.” 

If you’ve gotten used to having something to look at up in space during weekends this summer, don’t worry—there’s something to see tonight. Last weekend we were treated to NASA’s live coverage of the SpaceX crew returning to Earth. This weekend, we have to opportunity to see Mars and the moon align and rise together.…

Cloud storage services like Dropbox and iCloud came along to stop us from running out of room on our phones and laptops, but what happens when you’re running out of cloud storage space too? To save you having to pay Apple, Google or anyone else even more money every month, here are some quick tips for freeing up space…

We talk about productivity a lot here, and for good reason: we have things to accomplish, goals and deadlines to meet. A few years ago I had a solid morning routine consisting of the standard grown-up fare—alarm clock, hot drink,…

I am writing this installment of 3-Ingredient Happy Hour three whole days before it will publish. As I write this, I am 33. Tomorrow, I will be 34.

Maybe getting the ol’ heart pumping while also watching a bunch of Real Housewives drink copious amounts of alcohol and bicker with each other over stupid shit is something…
