Only 4 hours left in the Springsteen memoir “Born To Run” before I can finally start the second volume of The Expanse’s second volume… While it’s a fascinating story and life, it’s also very long! :D

I like puns

The end of a fun day with friends old and new and the local Phoenix Park 🦌!

Refreshing approach to Data and Privacy but then again, I’d expect as much from these people!

Italy, the most indebted member of the euro region to avoid a bailout during the European debt crisis, has succumbed to the forces of nationalism and protectionism that emerged over the past two years as the biggest threat to the political order.
