Travel enough, and luggage handlers or the TSA will damage your luggage. There’s simply no way around it.
So when L.L. Bean sells me luggage with a lifetime replacement guarantee, and less than four months later, this is the result, I wonder how this is going to work out for the rest of my lifetime. 😉
How long does your suitcase usually last?
Our Wii Fit arrived today, around 6PM, which was a good thing, I’m not sure Angela could have waited much longer. 🙂 It’s an interesting game. It’s fun, and it definitely gets your heart beating and, I assume, increases your metabolism. I won’t say it’s the same as going to the gym and doing 30…
I posted this photo to Facebook yesterday, as I worked from the hotel to try and get up to speed with this new job. A friend left a sarcastic comment about the glamorous life of traveling for work. It got me thinking. If you have never had the kind of job that requires a lot…
I’m sure many of you have taken a peek at the blog over the last 24 hours or so and seen some different things appearing. I’ve moved ahead with a complete overall of the site. As I’ve discussed previously, with the new professional position, it was time to retire the name, and I’ve decided to…
I’m beginning to wonder. First, consider this TED talk bout how customization in search results has led to “filter bubbles” where we are only being directed to information we already tend to agree with. Then consider how much influence Google has over search results, and how often they make algorithm changes that no one really…
But notice what is missing from all of this advice? Any actual science. Or, for that matter, any interviews with the thousands of people who actually do the same thing, and aren’t nearly as successful. Sure, maybe Jeff Bezos gets up every day at 5 AM, goes for a run, then schedules some deep-think time, all before he even checks email. Do you really think it you or I did that, that would make us as successful as Jeff Bezos? I guarantee you, his sleep schedule and morning routine is similar to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the world, who do not have lives that we would want to emulate. But we don’t read those stories, because no one cares.
On the other hand, in order for a lot of these productivity hacks to have ant scientific fact behind them, we would have to look at those people and see how maybe it’s not the morning routine that makes Bezos worth a gazillion dollars, it was something else entirely.
But then, those articles are much harder to write and would involve a lot more work, and even admit that you can’t hack your way to a billion dollars in success. We wouldn’t want to do anything like that, would we?
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of being invited to chat about backup strategies for consumers and small businesses with the hosts of the Every Day Cyber podcast
The bottom line? – Some backup is better than none. Multiple copies in various locations and states of being connected to the internet are better.

I say you need to travel a bit less then 😉
Will L.L.Bean honor there guarantee and send you a replacement ??
We should have a replacement n a couple of weeks, I just wonder how many times they’ll have to replace it at this rate. 😉
yea, that’s a good question, I hope they can get you a new one faster than 2 ish weeks, that seams a bit long to wait in this day and age.
We could have ordered a new one on the spot, taking about a week, but your cc is charged until the old one is received with that method. We had time so we went with the return and replace plan.
