If I am going to Hartford, CT. why does my bag tag say BDL? And ORD is not short-hand for Chicago. Where do they come up with these funny airport codes?
The Window Seat, as a metaphor, is a perspective. You're sitting behind a piece of glass, in a tubular prison from which you cannot communicate with the outside world (Okay, so they're rolling out wifi on planes, but let's ignore that for now), gazing down at cities filled with bustling ants. Minus the cylindrical fuselage, the Window Seat can also be in a coffee shop, far away from home, and the window is your laptop monitor, through which you observe your world, digitally. This drastic change in perspective can raise more questions than it answers. What really matters? What's your motivation? Does everything look the same when you step back thousands of feet or miles and view it from an outsider's perspective? Things can become surprisingly clear when viewed from a distant Window Seat.

Questions I get asked about having a family from Iran: Do you really have camels? Are you afraid of getting stoned (not of the drug kind)? Do you wear a burka? In the age where Iranians have become such a mystery to the point where they are feared, I want to challenge myths and show what life is really like being from the "Axis of Evil."

Not only isn't that true, but shopping locally puts vital money back into our communities that do more to improve the economy. Kimber shows why shopping local isn't just a good idea, but will save you money in the long run.
Did you know that beer is more versatile than wine when paired with food?
Sadly, in our culinary age of slow food and use of fresh local ingredients, local craft beer is often an afterthought. I'll help you pair beers with your favorite meal -- making better choices than some top Phoenix restaurants. Let's put beer on the menu and on the dinner table.

Films are a feast for the eye & mind. A good movie poster can whet the appetite of a potential movie-goer into the final step of buying a ticket. This is a look at some amazing posters through the years designed to be better than the films they were made for & raises the notion of the film poster as art independent of the product its meant to sell.
