Right this second, the world’s biggest technology companies are freaking out.

You’d think that corporate titans like Google, Facebook, and Apple would be calm in the face of a storm. But as it turns out, that’s not the case.

You see, these companies recently caught a glimpse of the future—and…

Last Saturday night, my wife—well, future wife—and I invited friends over for a dinner party.

If I’d been in charge, shopping would have taken hours…

I like to traverse our Manhattan neighborhood and gather my favorite items from a dozen different spots: Citarella for its Wild Stone crab claws, Zabar’s…
