Bike to Work for my Birthday
I’m excited to see that the city of Louisville is promoting Bike to Work Day, which just so happens to be on my birthday this year. I don’t want to get preachy, but I really believe cycling is the most ergonomic … Continue reading

Expat Life
Anyone who has ever lived overseas and tried to get a residence permit, get something through customs, get a tax number, renew their resident permit, or anything else involving bureaucracy will find this video really funny. I know I did.
On Cultural Differences: Washing Hands
