Left-Handed Tools In a Right-Handed World
International Left-Handers Day is celebrated every August 13th, not that every left-handed person knows about our special day. We left-handers make up only 10-12% of the world’s population, so I’ve gotten used to living in a world made for right-handers.

The BDJ Power Planner 2026 Unveils a New Look and New Name
After 20 years, the BDJ Power Planner is embracing reinvention. At the recent launch of the 2026 BDJ Power Planner, I noticed two key changes.

[…]
I Want My Daddy… Stickers!
I’ll never outgrow my love for stationery and stickers. Imagine my glee when I spotted these adjoining shops in Bangkok’s Siam Square—Daddy Stickerland and Daddy And The Muscle Academy.

Whether it’s part of a day tour or you’re dropping by on your own, sending a postcard from the Saigon Central Post Office is one of the fun and inexpensive things to do in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I’ve been working on my postcard project since 2012. It started out with asking my friends […]

Dusting Off My Harry Potter Collection
‘Tis the season for Harry Potter. It’s three days before Halloween, and while there’s bound to be an abundance of costumes that will tell you which movies and Netflix series trended during the year (for 2021 I’m betting my wand it’s Squid Game and still Money Heist), there will always be the classics. You’ll always […]
