Did I hear something about a wedding tomorrow? 

More than 240 years after kicking the King to the curb, we can't seem to get enough of the royals. 

I hope the young couple doesn't mind that I'll skip watching their event. But from the number of early-morning viewing parties in the area, I'm sure more than enough will see them tie the knot. 

Now, on to this week's reading pile!

  • How some brick and mortar stores are punching back. (The Cut)
  • New York City is amazing. This 12k video (you have to see how it was created) may be the best view of the city I've seen. (FastCo)
  • 30-year-mortgages are hitting a 7-year high. (Freddie Mac)
  • Stop the presses! Another scandal at Wells Fargo. (Housing Wire)
  • Have you noticed a new trend? Apology ads. (FastCo)
  • Scary. Alexa and Siri can hear some hidden commands that you cannot. (NYT)
  • These five habits can add a decade to your life. (Harvard.edu)
  • Amazing story! Great things take time. (Of Dollars and Cents)
  • The difference between time and money. (Godin)

Enjoy the weekend, and enjoy the wedding!
