Faith is back! I mean Eliza Dushku! I mean Tru! What a surprise. I caught a promo that the new season of Tru Calling begins tonight on Sky One at 9pm. I thought Tru Calling was like Jake 2.0 or Firefly or Space: Above & Beyond, sadly a one season wonder. No, a second season [...]

I love Cahoot, my main online bank here in the UK, but I fear the days of its stingy chequebook policies have returned. I’m back to begging for a new one, something that will sound especially strange to American readers. In the UK, you don’t pay for your checkbooks (I’m going with the American spelling [...]

I live in the United Kingdom. Most of the people I deal with are in the United States. This means dialing into conference calling numbers is a way of life. Sadly, these conference system still don’t keep the non-US person in mind.

Dread. That’s the only way I could describe my feeling at having to go to the US Embassy in London today to renew several of my family’s passports. Previous visits have been long, drawn-out time consuming affairs. The good news is, things have gotten much easier. Today’s trip was a family affair. That’s because it [...]

Surely everyone knows now about the ban on liquids and gels before boarding planes in many airports. But who knew that you can’t go into a US Embassy with them? That was a surprise to me today, when I went to the US Embassy in London to renew my passport. We were told to dispose [...]

I renewed my passport today at the US Embassy in London and have done a separate post on how the experience which I’ve dreaded has gotten easier. But I wanted to break out a key item.
