When you see an email from Bank of America with the subject line “Watch out for these 3 scams” it is worth pausing to read it. This email was geared towards small business owners like me, but the tips are helpful for anyone, including travelers who use public charging stations or handle money on the go. Scammers continuously target business owners, exploiting the trust and access that comes with managing payments, payroll, vendor relationships and sensitive customer data. Understanding their tactics is the first step in protecting yourself, your business and your finances. I know firsthand because hackers got into…

On Saturday, November 22, the third-ever Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix dominated the streets of the city in a nail-biting display of motorsport’s finest talent. One of the three final races of the 75th season, the three-day event was packed with musical entertainment, race prep, and activities around the city, and as a major fan of the sport I was fortunate enough to be on the ground for it all. With my suitcase stuffed to the brim with my favorite F1 gear, I headed off to Vegas—and I’m pleased to report my packing list prepared me well for everything…

Learn More › Updating your home with a fresh coat of paint involves more than just choosing a color. It’s crucial to prioritize environmental considerations as well, such as minimizing air pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Traditional paints release VOCs, which are invisible yet potent chemicals that vaporize and linger through a process called off-gassing, potentially persisting for years. These compounds—including formaldehyde, acetone, toluene, and ethanol—pose both immediate and lasting health risks ranging from headaches and dizziness to more serious long-term complications. Fortunately,…

This past Monday, I closed my laptop as the sun was on its way down, zipped up my puffer, and headed down to JG Melon for “Mandatory Melon’s Mondays.” Mandatory in name only, it’s a standing date for no other occasion than friends getting together over some of the city’s best burgers. The Monday before that, I decided to meet a friend last minute for Monday night jazz, complete with $1 oysters and prohibition-inspired libations. And this Monday, with no pencil markings on the calendar, I’ll probably cook a wintery meal and pretend to watch Monday night football with my boyfriend.  “We…

Living in Southern California and being an avid attendee of maker-related conventions, I’d heard about Hackaday’s Supercon but had never managed to go (the last two years’ tickets were sold out). It was only a matter of time before I finally made it — and this year, I jumped in last-minute to join some friends from CRASH Space. What I got was not at all what I was expecting … it was so much more. I can’t wait to go again. Supercon isn’t your typical conference. With attendance capped around 500–600 people, it’s an intimate, hands-on gathering that feels more…

On this cold Wednesday morning, I’d love to ask: What foods are meaningful to you? Maybe because of your background, your friends, your family? “Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate,” says philosopher Alan Wolfelt, and I agree. First on my list are the candle-lit cakes (above) that we presented to the boys, when they were little, on the night before the first day of school each September. We hoped they helped nervousness feel more like excitement. My aunt Lulu is a genius at serving meals to giant groups of relatives, and one of her tricks is to…

Decorate your home sustainably this festive season by making these easy and eco-friendly natural Christmas decorations from pine cones. Christmas may feel like it has become synonymous with plastic. Whether it’s the baubles, the tinsel, or even the wrapping paper (yup, many types of wrapping paper are blended with thin layers of plastic, making them unrecyclable) – it feels like there’s no escaping the stuff at this time of year. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve been on a mission to show you how to make decorations from all kinds of natural, recycled, and recyclable materials. Whether…
