Whole Foods should be crushing delivery meal kits
In an effort to get healthy I find myself naturally spending time at Whole Foods. I have yet to use their “shop for you service” but I do notice more and more bags awaiting pickup from online made sales when I checkout. I have also noticed expanded use of the Whole Foods app by in-store-patrons, probably…

Choosing the fastest wifi every single time
I travel a lot since I joined Automattic (it’s awesome by the way, and we’re hiring), and with traveling comes a lot of remembered wifi networks. Today for example I am on the MBTA train heading north to speak at WordCamp Boston, and I have a few choices for wifi on my trip. By the way MBTA…

Let’s bring Netflix to our local theaters.
I love going to the movies! I don’t even have a problem going on my own. I’m just getting frustrated paying outrageous movie theater ticket prices, but I have an idea! Why are tickets so expensive? There is a lot that goes into why movie tickets are so much money. If you’re interested in a…

Be quiet Google Maps! Until I need you.
At the beginning of every road trip for the last ten years I have taken the same 5 mile / 15 min trip from my house to the highway. I don’t like to fumble with my phone while I’m driving or during a trip, which means I’m pulling up Google Maps in my driveway. This…

IKEA, WIFI and In Real Life Personalization
Yesterday I had the opportunity to test the strength of my marriage by visiting Ikea for the 5th time in the last year. In actuality my wife, son and I had a good time and there were no epic debates over couch choices. I did however notice a rather novel decision on behalf of Ikea.…

Shining a light in the dark alley of poor experiences
In a world where ordering a coffee comes with a side of haughtiness. Where pizzas are ordered through apps so we don’t have to interact with people. Where getting off your train at the wrong stop is some how a risk worth taking over having to ask the conductor a question, there is hope. My hope for…

404’s for America
I had a good look at the presidential candidates’ 404 pages and they range from genuine and thoughtful to downright nonsensical. I’m curious how you’d vote today, if you had to make a choice based solely on a candidates 404 page. Take a look at them for yourself, then fill out the anonymous survey at the…

Happy International Women’s Day
I just wanted to give my champion, my muse, and the most important woman in my life a shout out. Joy is courageous, beautiful, an amazing role model for our son Landon, an advocate, a leader and a teacher. I’m so proud of her and so lucky to have her in my life. While I…

Dear Trump Supporter, you’re probably not going to read this, but you should.
Dear Trump Supporter, I wanted to reach out to you on Super Tuesday and remind you that up until the moment when you cast your vote for Trump you have an opportunity to go back and rethink everything. Even if you’ve already voted for him the primaries you can still change your mind. Don’t vote…

I just figured out why Robots are going to take over
Engadget just featured a great article on Boston Dynamics and their newest Atlas robot. It’s pretty clear the best way to test Atlas’s ability to recover from a trip, fall or stumble is to trip it, and make it fall or stumble. Atlas is a pretty rad robot. It’s ability to recover is pretty…
