If the AL Central is like an apartment building, then the Chicago White Sox spent the last few years as a shut-in neighbor with some smelly, unidentifiable substance leaking out from under their front door. It was best to stay as far away as possible. But after the first few...

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake. “I am a nice horse. I do not fuss. I do not bite the human woman’s face, even though her hair smells nice. I do not ask to go live free in the woods like the deer. I do my duties. I must try cake. Please.”

Some days Claude is great, the best collaborative programmer I've ever worked with, and a friend, like Gary Sevitsky was in the hallway outside the PDP-11 room at UW, or Brent Simmons on the 24 Hours project. And on other days Claude a crazy mutinous pirate, deleting my code, ignoring the guidelines, and building the result without permission (all the while unaware that he wasn't working on the actual code, heh).

Recently while picking up a banh mi in my neighborhood, I found myself transfixed by a TV in the restaurant showing what I assumed was a nature documentary. At first the footage soothed: Gentle humpback whales sailing through hazy blue waters and killer whales gliding in pac...

At approximately 11 pm on Dec. 13, 2025, I thought I’d lost it all. I found myself at the Williamsburg location of Barcade—a combination bar and vintage arcade—for my j-school’s end-of-semester party. No particular part of me wanted to spend the night in Williamsburg or at a...

On Dec. 5, 2025, FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented Donald Trump with the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, nominally for Trump's "tireless efforts to bring people together in a spirit of peace." I found myself less interested in the cynicism of placating Trump with the sor...
