Yes, that Sabrina. Yes, hunting.

OK, I am kind of messing with you. When I asked Sabs what they would want to try to do for the podcast, they told me they were interested in learning to catch and pin bugs, also known as "collecting" bugs. Does it still count as hunting if the life you're taking is a bug's?

What are set to be the final days of Robert Roberson’s life will be busy. He has lots of people to see before his October 16 execution date.  He’ll meet with his pro bono lawyer Gretchen Sween and others on his defense team; facing a ticking clock, his lawyers will be scrambling to save his […]

Life in the big city can be many things. But mostly it is hard, expensive, and exhausting. Occasionally, it can smell like poop. Above all, it is confounding. So, when the city seems to be throwing all kinds of confusing omens and symbols your way, why not turn to a little d...

Old rocket parts and decommissioned satellites are whizzing around in low Earth orbit, where they risk colliding with the ever-growing constellations of modern satellites being launched.

The NHL salary cap is set to rise precipitously. Connor McDavid is still 28 years old, and he is Connor McDavid. The Edmonton Oilers, as a team and as a business, rely heavily on their continued employment of Connor McDavid. So it was easy, when extension talks neared an agreement, to imagine some insane numbers. The max eight years for certain, and an AAV that starts with a "20" and ends in "million" seemed likely.

The actual extension, agreed to Monday, is ... shockingly very much not that.

Playing quarterback in the NFL's Patrick Mahomes–Josh Allen–Lamar Jackson era must be pretty demoralizing at times. That trinity pulls off the impossible on a regular basis, which makes even very good QB play pale in comparison. To wrest even a bit of the spotlight from the big three takes something magical. On Sunday, Drake Maye did just that, leading his Patriots to a win over Allen's Bills with a game-winning drive that included one particularly awe-inspiring sequence:

A Week 5 late-afternoon game between the Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals, by design, is supposed to get one live look-in and no more before everyone moves on with their day. The U.S. government has rules that prohibit anyone from thinking about this match-up for more ...

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came and been refunded my $34 plus shipping, I would have. I didn’t want it any...

A Washington Post article explained how most families have a secret language that only they understand, or a "familect" as some linguists call it.  Listeners call in to share the words in their family that only they use, which are often conjured in the minds of small children and then used for years down the road.

It's tough to say how Mariners fans should have felt before Sunday night's game against the Detroit Tigers beyond "faintly and familiarly nauseated." True, it was the second home playoff game they'd gotten to see in person in 24 years, and just the fifth Mariners playoff gam...

For all the folks overseas, I’d like to do more for localization in Micro.blog. Not the main UI, but the parts that show up on your own blog, e.g. “Finished reading”, “Watched this movie”… I tried AI to dynamically translate a few things on the fly, but it’s a dead end. Maybe crowdsourced later.

I did a video demo of pngWriter in December 2016. I wish I had just done a Hello World demo instead of a freaking tutorial. I do better demos these days. I broke every rule of my own tutorial for software demos.

Reason #29812 you know our current writing system is broken. When you want to post something that has more than the maximum characters they post an image instead of the text. I once wasted a few months making a writing tool for those kinds of posts, hoping that if it caught on we could have a shadow network that moved the actual text around the net between users. Users weren't so imaginative then.
