Hong Kong Disneyland After Dark: Two Shows, One Night
Two nighttime shows, one evening, and a park compact enough that you can actually see both.
Writer
Todd Ruffner-Schoenfeld
Editor in chief. A knack for the fine print, and likes it.
Todd Ruffner-Schoenfeld has spent his working life being handed things he did not yet understand. He started at the bottom, a developer in a bullpen, and worked his way up to running IT. The places were a strange assortment: consulting firms, accounting firms, a biotech startup, a tech startup in Silicon Valley and, of all places, Chiquita. Four small businesses of his own along the way. The work never really changed. Get into something unfamiliar, find out what is actually going on, and help someone make a hard decision with it. HeadLines Decoded is that job, pointed at the news.
