We stared at the row of olive oil bottles, a little perplexed. We were sitting at one of the best gourmet restaurants in the world, Comerc 24 in Barcelona. We knew it was going to be an amazing experience - and it was, so much so that we returned the next day for lunch.  Read more >

If Wesley had over 700 (seven hundred!) Facebook “friends,” but he was still incredibly lonely – so lonely in fact that he took his own life, What does that tell us about online friendships?I used to think online friendships were valuable – I even argued here on these very pages that they were just as valuable as real-life friendships.

He doesn't lack passion - his passion and drive are as strong as always - but he has more perspective, and can put things in context.  Read more >
