So, to understand a “bomb cyclone” you first need to…

Happy Pi Day! What is pi? If you’re digging back to old memories of geometry class, stop right there. Pi is a real thing in real life. It means that the distance around a circular thing is a little more than triple the distance from side to side.

I’ve been a full-time freelancer since 2012, and most of my work gets done at home—that is, from my home office.

I have always had room in my heart for the old-school “edutainment” Carmen Sandiego games, because they taught me a decent bit about geography as a kid.
