Vintage Geek: Back to the Future II
Some of my favorite movies growing up were the Back to the Future movies (I loved that Michael J.), particularly the second one, because of all the crazy technology I thought we could expect in the 21st century.

I swear, every year after that movie was out, some other kid was telling me that this was the year hover boards were really coming out.

6 Things to Consider When Taking a Job Hiatus
A friend of mine recently made an announcement on her Facebook page: after several years of climbing the ladder in publishing, she’s decided to take some time off to pursue other things — travel, writing, maybe an advanced degree.
While her decision may seem like something only a recent grad would have the flexibility to do, taking a break to find a new direction is more common than you may think. It’s not the kind of decision to be taken lightly, however, so keep the following things in mind.
Bella Brand: M Lab
I first heard of M Lab about a year ago on a trip to the States. It launched in 2007 by a company called Milbar Laboratories, who for 25 years have been creating medical grade skincare products for dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
