1 Simple Hack to Make Wine Taste Better In the Sky
Do you like wine? You probably answered yes. In an informal poll of sixteen million imaginary people in my brain, 98% of them said they enjoyed having a glass of wine.

Hotel Room Hack: Turn Your Coffeemaker Into a Stove
Everyone knows that cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out, but it’s nearly impossible to cook when you’re traveling.

How I Got Amazon to Pay for My Amazon Prime Membership
It’s not an exaggeration to say that I order something from Amazon every single day via Amazon Prime. Yesterday, I ordered three separate times. Before you jump in and judge my wasteful ways (I’m aware, environment, and I’m sorry!), please take into account that I have a new baby. Running to the store isn’t all…
Banking Nightmare: Chase Glitch Gives Online Access to Random People
Have you ever wondered what would happen if hackers got into your bank account? What if YOUR BANK ITSELF let someone into your account? While hackers may be scary, the scarier prospect is your bank’s online system allowing access to random people. As of this afternoon, that’s actually what happened to my fiancee. According to…

Cage-Free Eggs Coming to Airports Nationwide
While individual restaurants have the ability to change and adapt to new trends on the fly, airport restaurants are much less nimble. It may help to think of traditional restaurants as speed boats and airport restaurant operations more like aircraft carriers, locked on course until a cadre of generals choose to go in a different…
This Computer Comes with Free Wifi on Planes
I’ll admit it: I’ve become a little bit obsessed with getting free wifi on airplanes. It’s not because I don’t think paying for wifi on planes is worth it — it is… sometimes. My problem is that JetBlue has found a way to offer free wifi to all of its passengers, Southwest charges $5 for…
