Read MoreGoodbye, Barney
I lost my best friend this week. And my business partner. Barney was 12 (or 13 or 14). I never knew his exact age. He was a street kid who wandered onto my doorstep looking for a better life. He found it. And I found the world’s greatest dog. But he was never a good…

They call the impossibly complicated screen I am looking at a “dashboard,” which I do not find reassuring at all.
