If you want to ponder how...

You know that feeling you get, when you realize you’ve walked into somewhere you don’t want to be? It might be uncomfortable, it might feel dangerous, or maybe it’s just off and you’re not sure why. Whatever the scenario, the best thing to do is to listen to your gut and go – which is...

You know how when you’re a kid and you do something wrong, and then you have to decide whether to come clean with your parents or make something up instead, and you always choose the excuse and it’s never a good idea? I think it’s because most human beings can sniff out a lie and...

When something truly awful happens – on purpose, an accident, whatever – that hurts or has the potential to hurt people, the best thing is to own up to it immediately so that the fallout can be mitigated as quickly as possible. Now, that might be the truth (and common sense) but for a lot...

The world is looking for clean, affordable, ready energy everywhere – in all of the nooks and crannies, all of the ideas rattling around people’s heads, and anywhere else they can think of.
