Eat at Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas
Lotus of Siam is on a ton of best restaurants to eat at in Las Vegas lists, and rightfully so. I had heard of it a bunch, but had never actually gone until a recent trip. While on the pricier side (it is in Vegas though), the prices aren’t unreasonable. Most dishes range from $20-30,…

Start Listening to the Business Wars Podcast
I recently started listening to a podcast called “Business Wars”, which is produced by Wondery (I started listening after hearing a bunch of ads for it on “How I Built This”). Each season of Business Wars dives into a different business competition, with recent seasons being Pixar vs. Disney and Apple vs. Microsoft. The format…

Watch the Bill Russell: Legend Documentary on Netflix
Bill Russell was one of the most famous NBA players of all time, even though he played in the 1950s-1960s. Every NBA fan knows him, and even most casual sports fans have heard his name in some capacity (either because of his 11 rings or his civil rights activism off the court). I knew of…

Buying the Franklin X-40 Pickleballs is Worth It
When you first start playing pickleball, you will probably buy the Niupipo pack as a starter set. It is convenient because it comes with paddles and balls, while also not being too expensive. This is a great set to learn with, but if you start playing a lot you should look into getting new pickleballs.…

When is the Best Time to Buy San Francisco 49ers Playoff Tickets
Buying sports tickets is hard, as there is no exact science on when the best time to purchase them are. Sometimes the best time to buy them is the day of the game, whereas other times it can be before the date for the game is even set. When I was trying to buy 49ers…

Using CrunchyRoll to Watch Anime
I used to watch anime on Netflix or some other websites (if you watch anime, you probably know what I am talking about), but I recently began subscribing to CrunchyRoll’s “Mega Fan” plan ($9.99/month). Compared to CrunchyRoll, Netflix has a small collection of anime in the US, and only has mostly older seasons for the…

Buying Apple Accessories from ESR Instead of Apple
As someone who has a ton of Apple devices, I am well aware of the temptation to stay within the Apple ecosystem. This includes accessories like Airpods, phone cases, dongles, etc. When I recently bought an IPad Air though, I did some thorough research about the best cases for it. I was looking for a…

Alice in Borderland Season 2 is a Must Watch!
Alice in Borderland season 1 was one of my favorite Japanese shows, and I always thought it was way better than the Squid Game (similar genres, but Alice in Borderland never got the same recognition globally). Season 2 of Alice in Borderland was a continuation of season 1, which had left off on a bit…

Using Rakuten Extension When Shopping
Although I’m not a huge shopper normally, I did make a decent number of purchases during the holidays. While using the right credit card is one way to maximize the “rewards” you get while shopping, another way (that can be used in tandem with credit cards) is to use Rakuten. If you’ve never used or…

Using Google Maps to Track Your Favorite Spots
I’ve always used Google Maps for directions, but have never considered using it for anything else. On my most recent trip though, I started using Google Maps to track any favorite restaurants/spots, as well as any places I wanted to make sure I tried. Before, I normally just wrote down my favorite spots in either…
