Last month, I submitted my name for one of NASA’s #JourneyToMars promotions—specifically, the Orion Test Flight “Boarding Pass” shown above, where they’ll etch your name into a computer chip that flies aboard the spacecraft. While I was poking around the…

Like I said last week, go check out the SafeTrek app. I like having it for peace of mind, if nothing else. Now here’s my legwork on what the people behind SafeTrek have done so far in 2014… In late…

Because though I hope you’ll never need SafeTrek, I don’t want you to ever suffer for want of it. Free download for iOS or Android. The basic idea is this: start the app when you’re traveling through an area where…

And you know what? It’s pretty good. I’ll admit it: I even teared up a little during the finale. Sure, the payoff was a cheap shot at Zuckerberg (and shamelessly rode the long coattail of The Social Network), but setting…
