When I was selling running shoes maybe a decade ago, we would get the occasional “speed walker” in the store. This group in particular was only interested in racing flats, which are lightweight, really low-pitch shoes. On top of this, they only wanted shoes that were dark in colour. If the soles were too bright,...

A few months ago some friends and I were at a virtual reality centre. They use the technology to help people re-habilitate chronic injuries through VR games. We each jumped in to try out a rudimentary task-based game. You had to “fly” this plane-like contraption over a virtual valley and steer it through some colourful...

We were loading our plates with a second serving of fresh fish tacos (the little corn tortillas), and I asked my friend how his work was going. He sat down, and artfully wrapped up his burrito. He said he grew a nice network last year, allowing him to do the work he loved, which was...

There’s a small breakfast-restaurant not far from here that does a great eggs on toast. It’s the perfect sized meal to go with their single origin coffee. The fans here enjoy the vibe – the plants hanging on the wall bring a bit of softness to the bustling space. People take a little longer to...

What am I capable of here? How can I bring empathy and effort to make this better? We don’t necessarily need to lead in order to...

When you make a desert, you can be a recipe follower, or, a freestyler. With the apple crumble, I’m a freestyler. Sure, there’s a recipe a few layers below, but I’m more than a little flexible. In the topping, even though there are just a few ingredients, if you change one of these, you’ll get...
