Mansplaining is simply how I communicate that I understand the topic at hand; I'm not trying to teach anything most of the time. I do this even when I'm talking to other men. Yet, I can see how this may come across as condescending, especially to women smarter than me. However, I would compare mansplaining with the way women communicate when they are talking through a problem --they're not asking for advice or need me to fix something; they simply need to be heard. Maybe we're not so different after all.

It's wild to me that I can afford a month of snowboarding every day in Switzerland, yet I haven't found any place in my own country where I can do that because lodging is just too expensive. It's a shame, because the relaxed mindset that comes from having plenty of time to enjoy the slopes, as opposed to a packed weekend, makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

So far this season I've snowboarded over half a million vertical feet in 28 days. Mind you, this is coming from the same app that said my top speed was 190mph, so I'm not saying it's a reliable source...

Evernote's tag-line should be, "From great to horrible. How over-complication ruined a simple product."

Air travel stuff: 1.) The TWA Hotel is a great place to pass the time at JFK. The lobby is beautiful, comfortable, and open 24 hours. 2.) The Mobile Passport Control app is a must-have for international travel. It's basically a free skip-the-line pass when returning through U.S. Customs. 3.) I'm trying Lugless for the first time, to ship my snowboard, so I don't have to carry it with me to Mexico and Houston.

Milan is a bit like Hollywood in that the reality of it is nothing like its reputation. At least Hollywood has great weather. Milan, on the other hand, is basically gray, and it doesn't get pretty until night time.
