Selfies at tourist attractions are nothing new. But until recently, if you wanted a perfectly composed picture of yourself with Times Square or the Colosseum in the background, you might have asked a passer-by to take the photo.

Shaped like a lopsided headband, Google Glass is an unassuming piece of technology when you're holding it in your hands. You feel as if you can almost break it, testing its flexibility. Putting it on, though, is another story.

Medium- and large-sized SUVs are so in demand in America – the biggest and most profitable automotive market in the world for the longest time (at least until China’s automotive industry boomed phenomenally in the last few years) – that manufacturers that would otherwise not care to make these big, gas-guzzling behemoths are compelled to make them.

I’ve only visited the Chelsea Hotel once, and this was because my wife and I accidentally stum-bled upon it. Walking up (or down) West 23rd Street in Lower Manhattan, there it was, we immediately realized: the place where the famous and infamous have shared floor space since the early 20th century. Site of a rock star girlfriend’s grisly murder, scene of much literary scribbling,  art creation, drug abuse and musing over New York’s unique brand of squalor.
