One of my unpopular opinions is that everyone needs to be better at remembering each other’s birthdays. I can tell you the birthdays of at least 20 of my friends and family members, down to date and year, because I really care about them and how old they are. Time and dates are so fascinating …

Family events have a remarkable way of turning private homes into public playgrounds, where the concept of boundaries is as foreign as a salad at a seven-year-old’s birthday party.

You can work a 9-to-5 job, write a novel, correspond with people all over the world, code, earn a degree, and network like nobody’s business with just a regular PC. I understand the impulse that thinking any time spent …
