| Mega Yachts
I spent a year working on the boat insurance product at Progressive, and have always been around boats in one way or another. As such, it’s been interesting to read about the Russian oligarchs who are having their assets (including their mega yachts) seized and/or impounded. |

| 2nd Base
The writer of this article states “I have spent god only knows how many collective hours (months? years?) of my life watching baseball, playing baseball, staring at baseball diamonds—and never once, not until this very morning, did I realize that second base is not where it should be. It’s in the wrong place!” I feel the same. I have played, coached, and watched a ton of baseball over the years and never had any idea that second base was out of alignment with the diamond. |
| Crypto Island For a mere $130K, you can purchase real citizenship on a crypto island in Vanuata (I seem to recall the name from a season of Survivor) |
| Honda Hackers
Researchers (who seemingly have nothing better to do with their time) have discovered that certain Honda and Acura models are susceptible to being hacked through their remote keyless entry systems. I guess if you have the time, you could probably hack anything, but is the juice worth the squeeze? |
| Deepfakes |
Ukranian President Zelenskyy recently appeared in a deepfake video; hackers used technology to simulate Zelenskyy telling Ukrainian troops to surrender. While the quality is pretty poor, it’s another good reminder to question anything you see and hear.
| Presidential Jets Need to rent a 787 for that next family trip? The President of Mexico will be happy to oblige. Or, maybe you just want to buy your own? It can be yours for $130MM. And don’t worry, the President won’t miss his plane. He prefers to fly coach. |
| Seinfeld
It seems that not a day goes by without somebody making a Seinfeld reference (“man hands”, “Dolores!”, “close talkers”, “master of his domain”…). Sadly, there are a few people here in the office who’ve never even watched the show. Whether you know every episode and are happy to keep watching (me) or have never seen it, I just came across a website that could be big trouble… 24×7 Seinfeld streaming! |
