    ByJennifer Moody May 9, 2015May 9, 2015

    Its not easy being geek. I learned that at a very young age when my preschool class at the museum was two girls and twelve boys… it might have been all the time learning the names of various dinosaurs and reptiles that fascinated me so..  I further fleshed it out when most of my elementary school…

    ByJennifer Moody May 7, 2015April 30, 2017

    I was lucky enough today to grab a seat on one of the American 787 Dreamliner flights on the inaugural day.  I  used the Same Day Change feature yesterday to grab one of the open seats on the 12:10 pm return ORD-DFW segment. And I’m awfully glad I did.  Not only was it a bucket list…

The jet engine is large and dominates the background, with its fan blades clearly visible.

    ByJennifer Moody April 30, 2015

    Last night I had the amazing opportunity to attend a customer preview event for the new American 787 Dreamliner.  The inaugural flight takes place next Thursday, but this week was a chance to explore the plane while she still has her new plane smell. The preview event was held in a hangar on the east…

    The Ugly Side of the Ridesharing Economy

    ByJennifer Moody April 29, 2015

    Uber is hailed by many as the example of what the service workforce of the future could be.  On demand, scalable, inexpensive, and easily replaceable.  That last part is the ugly side of the ridesharing economy. While my adventures in driving have been few and far between since my “how much does a driver make” experiment…

    Hidden Northern Bali (Celukan Bawang) with Virtuoso Voyager Club

    ByJennifer Moody April 28, 2015June 5, 2024

    I like Bali. The part I like most is the part that is less traversed.  It seems like everyone has been to the southern part of the island.  And more individuals have discovered Ubud since Elizabeth Gilbert put it on the map in Eat Pray Love.  But a majority of visitors to this island paradise…

    Hacking the Valet? Why I Will From Now On….

    ByJennifer Moody April 25, 2015

    Ten dollars. Ten lousy dollars. That’s the margin by which I feel that the valet at the Crescent Hotel in Dallas (a Rosewood luxury property) decided to draw a line in the sand about valet charges on Thursday night. Let me explain… I went to the Crescent after work with plans to attend an alumni…

    Travel With a Company Issued Laptop

    ByJennifer Moody April 4, 2015

    My personal laptop died this week, mere minutes after I had just moved everything on my local drive to Dropbox.  The timing couldn’t have been stranger.  The screen went black and then when I tried to reboot it, smoke started coming out of the keyboard.  My Mac had met a similar fate a couple months…

  • A hand-drawn map of the United States with humorous and stereotypical labels for each state. Some examples include:

- Alaska: "East Russia"
- Hawaii: "Hawaii"

The map uses various pop culture references and stereotypes to label each state.
