Jack’s Takes: I am not a cat
I have a confession to make: Zoom meetings tend to make me a little anxious. Whenever I have to meet with someone over Zoom, I always log into the meeting a half-hour early just to make sure that things are running smoothly. Also, when I have to share my screen, I make sure to create…
Read MoreJack’s Takes: Italian cuisine like you’ve never seen
Everyone knows that Italian food is held in high regard, and for good reason. When done well, nothing can beat a delicious bowl of risotto, carbonara, or bruschetta.

Read MoreJack’s Takes: Too many spiders
They say that too much of a good thing can be bad. But no one has dared ask: can too much of a bad thing…be GOOD?! I’m thinking the answer is no. You’ve got to admire this Australian woman’s composure as she documents the infestation of creepy crawly spiders in her daughter’s bedroom. Suffice it…

If you like cute animas, then look no further! If you’re wondering why the proportions of this giraffe seem off, they are not: this is actually a dwarf giraffe, one of two of his kind in the known world. The dwarf giraffe (aptly named Gimli) stands at 9 feet 4 inches tall – so, still…

I was a child when the first dancing Elmo doll came out, and as I unwrapped the gift paper to this new, beautiful treasure of mine, I remember thinking to myself, “This is the height of technology.
