Movie reboots might be low risk but they’re low success
It’s hard to keep up with all the movie reboots. I just heard that they’re remaking Interview with the Vampire. The original movie of course was a big hit in the 90’s starring A-List stars like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst.

Sometimes when there’s no avocados, I substitute half of a banana for a similar thick … Read more

Today we decided to get an early dinner at our favorite restaurant, Shanghai Dumpling. Since they started doing takeouts only for Covid times, we place our weekend orders at 11am. They officially open for business at 11:30, and we arrive around 11:45 from our 40minute drive and we wait. Sometimes they don’t have our order … Read more

Today was my last day at Somfy Systems and it was bittersweet. It was sad to leave so many great coworkers behind as they’ve helped me grow, in and out of the office.
