The earth has made a full trip around the sun since I wrote about Amazon Go here. The beginning of this week saw the automated 1,800-square-foot store being finally launched in Seattle, Washington. Here’s some Insta humor to brighten up an otherwise dull Wednesday.
Richard H. Thaler was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday. Way back in 2010, while writing about Choice Architecture as it pertains to advertising, I found his best-selling book “Nudge” rather fascinating. In a nutshell, the book is about our choices.

I should do this link love sort of posts more often. There’s so much fun stuff I want to share, and talk about. First off, let me start by saying I do not like zoos. Most people will beat around the bush and tell you how it’s great for the animals because they are safe […]
