Disney+ Fans — These American Express Cards are For You
In 2025, there is certainly no shortage of streaming services to choose from. And while I have subscriptions to a few, speaking as a Disney fan, my favorite has to be Disney+ (coupled with Hulu).

Travel Tuesday: River Bend Casino Hotel Review (Wyandotte, OK)
A few weeks ago, my wife and I set off for what we dubbed an actual vacation. In short, this meant we'd be doing absolutely no work and, for the first time in a very long time, would be headed to a destination that didn't have a Disney theme park! Originally, I thought that we'd...

Allbirds is Celebrating Independence Day with a 50% Off Sale
One funny thing about summer is how a sunny day can quickly turn into a heavy downpour. This is even more prominent in certain parts of the country where you may be headed on a summer vacation (I'm looking at you, Florida!). So, given that weather reality, it makes perfect sense that Allbirds would be...

An Amex Platinum Card Revamp is Coming — And I'm Worried

"Smart Brevity" Book Review — Can it Help Improve Your Writing?

Solis is Launching Yet Another New Global WiFi Hotspot Model
Back in 2019, I purchased my first Solis (then known as Skyroam Solis) international hotspot device.
