Stay Safe While Using Uber Drivers – Fake Uber Driver Robs Woman In Atlanta
Last night on the news, I heard about a potentially fake Uber driver robbing a woman in the Virginia Highlands area of Atlanta. So, I got to thinking about how to best protect yourself since Uber cars don’t have any signage which makes them more easily impersonated. I am a big fan of Uber and…

Party Foul: Delta’s Business Elite 767 Tray Table Design Flaw
I really enjoy flying Delta’s new full-flat Business Elite seats on international flights and especially and domestic flights.
