Cheryl Phillips of Saint Joseph Mercy Health System, “Vaping 1

How Much Do You Think You Know about “Vaping” (as Opposed to What You Really Need to Know)?

May 16, 2018
It’s the sort of label that easily could have come from a backstory plot in the Mad Men TV series. “Vaping—” lead creative Don Draper would have whispered in presenting his pitch to a captive audience of important client representatives in an otherwise silent, softly lit room. The word would have been held in the air for a bit as he looked reassuringly into some pleasantly imagined distance before intoning further. [2] “It’s word that ....

Internet Predicts Death of Brick-and-Mortar; Junga’s ACE Hardware Building New Store

Almost exactly one year ago, Forbes ran a headline that began with this unequivocal sentance: “Retail is Dead.” [1,2] Fast forward to March 2018 and the same publication proclaimed that “physical retail is clearly not dead — adding, as if ....

Much, much closer to home. Also of a much, much different historical significance. [2,3] It wouldn’t ....

“Green Book” exhibit at Gilmore Car Museum stirs important discussion of car travel experience for Black Americans

February 8, 2021
Racial disparities are sometimes felt more personally, if not shockingly, in the most pedestrian of objects and experiences. Here in the land of the free, automobiles have come to symbolize that fundamental image of American life more than anything else. With his Model T, Henry Ford sought to make the dream of owning a car an accessible reality to the masses. In 1953, Dinah Shore encouraged her audiences to “See the USA in your Chevrolet!” ....

August 29, 2018
It wasn’t that many years ago when the distinction between video and still photographers was clear, lines between the two protected as if by religous doctrine. Storyboards and production crews, versus street. Narratives played out over time defined one; singular decisive moments, the other. [1,2,3,4,5,6] Today, the option for capturing one or both commonly reside in the same device. It’s a key point of competition among smartphone choices. And everyday users seem to at least ....
