The Economics of the Office: Why Do We Still Commute?
Yeah, really! An in-depth discussion about this issue. Virtual reality is about to change that? #Developing
But witnessing the dramatic progress already occurring, he sees hope for those of us stuck in traffic five days a week. “If we can nail what I call ‘the virtual handshake,’ the subtle, non-verbal pattern of eye-contact, interpersonal distance, posture, and other critical nuances of group conversations,” he says, “then we finally have a chance to put the commute in our rear-view mirror.”
Virtual reality may one day prove revolutionary for commuting patterns, but that doesn’t necessarily mean “the end of the urban age,” as Macrae predicted with personal computers. The city offers many amenities beyond proximity to work. But if VR technology can one day produce a lifelike virtual handshake, the future of work may not be intrinsically tied to commuting for much longer.
The Rapidly Aging Western World
I am starting to really like the Visual Capitalist site and is first on the queue to be added to the Blogs I Like list. Check out the animations they produce here to show how fast the western world is aging. Amazing!
A Decade Watching the Craziest Game
The game is…investing. Another must read, I picked a few of my favs. But you should read the article in its entirety.
I’ve learned that having your views confirmed is a powerful and addictive drug.
I’ve learned there are two red flags: Beliefs that haven’t changed in 20 years, and beliefs that changed overnight.
I’ve learned that cash earns the lowest return but offers the most options, and options can provide the highest long-term returns.
I’ve learned great things happen slow, and bad things happen fast, so a narrative of pessimism often accompanies a backdrop of progress.
I’ve learned that the numbers of words is negatively correlated with the amount of insight.
And I leave you with this…You discovered the hobby at MMS last month and you started blogging to tell friends and family how to travel for free?

Meanwhile, I have a pressing travel question. Would you recommend that I go with Lufthansa’s “Traditional Roast Goose” entree? Their website says it has been a tradition eveyone loves for 20 years. My wife reminds me that we love watching the geese at the park where we walk. I told her, truthfully, that if they called hamburgers ‘cows’, I probably wouldn’t have eaten any. The other choices are Filet of Artic Char with mustard sauce, and some vegetarian crap with root vegetables.
Assuming you advise the goose, should I pair that with the Reisling, or stick with the Chardonnay? My wife say a red-she’s good on the wines, but I’m just not sure!
Sorry to burden you with this, but it’s been a couple of hours and no word from Lucky.
I had the goose I think in my recent trip! I liked it but not enough to take a pic of it. The other two choices just did not look as appetizing.
I paired it with a French red wine if I remember, it was a great combo.

Regarding “The Rapidly Aging Western World”
Interesting to see that the fountain of youth is in Scandinavia.
Goes from being the “oldest” in 1960s to the “youngest” in Europe in 2060.
Immigration makes “you” younger.
Review: The Broad Museum in Los Angeles by Hack My Trip
So Scott puts this title on a blog post today and as you know there are a lot of HOT BROADS running around LALA Land so I click on it expecting to see HOT BROADS. WTF. Talk about click bait, no HOT BROADS.
Vern, Ramsey, Sybil, you should be grateful, at least it wasn’t a Rocky Horan piece
Awesome post tomorrow!
