Fathersday
Any will do I can't call mine. Pop died in 1979, eight years younger than I am now. Were he alive today, he'd be 117 years old. I only knew him for 32 years, but I can still hear his voice clearly, and would know it anywhere. Mom's too. And Grandma's. Maybe I'll hear them […]

Forty-five years ago, George Carlin forecast the future of AI: Listen to what George says, if you haven’t already. You can stop about two and a half minutes in, after he talks about how all your shit is stuff and everyone else’s stuff is shit. Because that’s the reason Big…

nikitonsky is being grumpy
nikitonsky: It’s always funny to me when a website has to explain what to do with it because there are no obvious controls or visible content. That’s a problem of your own creation. It’s even funnier when the interaction icon itself is confusing enough that it needs expla…

A tale of two browsers
I give Apple a hard time. That’s mostly due to how they treat the web on their own mobile devices. Though iOS ostensibly supports the ability for websites to be added to the homescreen, they make it so difficult for users to do, the functionality is practically worthless. It�…

Sarah Canary by Karen Joy Fowler
Sarah Canary is an odd book, in the best possible way. On the one hand, it’s a relatively straightforward narrative. An adventure story set in the Pacific northwest in the late 19th century. The viewpoint shifts from character to character, with one exception. The inscrutable…
