National Popcorn Day: Celebrating the Snack That Never Lets Us Down
National Popcorn Day doesn’t get the hype of Thanksgiving or the marketing budget of Valentine’s Day, but it absolutely deserves respect. Celebrated every year on January 19, it honors one of the most reliable, democratic snacks ever invented. Popcorn doesn’t care if you’re rich or broke, watching an Oscar contender or a trashy reality marathon. It shows up, does its job, and asks very little in return.

Everyone Hated The Eiffel Tower
It's difficult to think of a more iconic building than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It's an iconic landmark and is considered the second most recognisable building and landmark on the planet, only being beaten by the Statue of Liberty in New York. It's hard to imagine that what is today considered a symbol of Paris and romance was once hated. The Parisians would call it the "iron monster" and a "tragic giant lamppost," with writers and artists warning that building the tower would ruin the skyline and humiliate all the other monuments of Paris.

What Happened in Every Second of 2025
I think we can all agree that 2025 was an eventful year. Every day brought us closer to 2026, and despite being constantly bombarded with information, it is impossible to be aware of absolutely everything. In many ways, every second counted.

Are You an Otrovert? The New Personality Type
I’m sure you’ve heard someone describe themselves as either an introvert or an extrovert. Two personality types on opposite sides of the spectrum. The eccentric and outgoing extroverts and the quiet and mysterious introverts, it seems wherever we look society tells us we are either one or the other. This leads many of us to pick a side that we may not associate with completely but feels closest to who we are. Nothing in the middle.

White Label PPC Challenges and How Agencies Overcome Them
Why paid media partnerships tend to strain before they succeed I still remember the first time a white label PPC account went sideways on me. Not loudly. Not catastrophically. It just… drifted. Spend crept up. Performance flattened. The agency partner kept saying things like “it should stabilize next month.” It didn’t.

Why Hardware Signals Are Harder Than APIs?
I learned this lesson the slow way. For years, most of the problems I dealt with in mobile apps came from APIs. Network failures. Timeouts. Bad payloads. Version mismatches. They were annoying, but they were understandable. APIs fail in predictable ways. They return errors. They retry. They log what happened.
