The Embrace in Boston, MA
The Embrace is a bronze sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas and MASS Design Group. It is installed on Boston Common. The artwork commemorates Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Wikipedia notes that not a lot of folks like it, but I do – the details of the hands and the sheer size of…

The Great Elephant Migration Public Art Installation in Boston, MA
On my first day of vacation, I took the kiddo and my mom to go check out 100+ elephant sculptures hand-carved by indigenous artisans from India using an invasive weed called katana camera that has overtaken Indian forests and displaced local wildlife. We started on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall off of Dartmouth Street and were…

Old Phone, New Phone
I scheduled time with the Genius Bar the other week to replace the battery on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I thought it would be a quick in-and-out situation but the minutes turned into 2.5 hours. The folks were super nice, but it was still a long wait. Finally, they shared the bad news. They…
