I am deeply saddened to report that this weekend, far too soon, we lost Gor Nishanov: a friend and colleague, an extraordinary software engineer, and a long-serving member of the C++ standards committee. Gor was always intelligent and witty, but above all he was kind and generously helpful to...

Why Do My Partners Fall Out of Love With Me? The answer may be partially explained by a difference in emotional intelligence.

Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) worked in many areas as an artist, and is probably best-remembered as a painter and illustrator. Among the many books he illustrated were Beowulf (1932), translated by William Ellery Leonard; The Canterbury Tales (1934), in modern English by J.U. Nicolson; and The Saga of...

I wasn't really into speciality coffee for a long time. I liked coffee, but I did not think about it that much. Then a friend told me about a coffee roastery in Hammerbrook. He said his colleagues could not stop talking about their beans. That place was Maya Kaffeerösterei.I went there with the...

Last year on LinkedIn I posted an update about how I was benefitting from leadership coaching, therapy, orthodontia, time to read, and opportunity to play pick-up soccer. Here’s what I wrote: So far in 2025, I’ve gotten a promotion at work, redesigned my long-running blog, been in good health...

I do not think the biggest opportunity for AI in ministry is helping pastors produce more words. Pastors already live under a mountain of words. There is the sermon. The church email. The leader text. The midweek devotional. The meeting agenda. The small group question. The follow-up note you...

Way back in 2016, I initially tried out an ultrawide monitor in hopes of simplifying my desk setup. Instead of running two different monitors connected to a desktop and my work laptop, I thought a single 34” ultrawide one would clean up a lot of cables. I bought a Dell U3415W because it was one of...

When most people think of a July 4th barbecue, the menu usually looks the same: burgers, hot dogs, and marinated chicken. Coming from Argentina, with many American friends, I have absolutely nothing against this, but rather would like to suggest a bit of Argie zest to the next 4th of July! So,...

Interstate 277 around Uptown Charlotte can be an adventure. From backed-up traffic and crazy merges to slaloming through lane changes, I-277 is one of Charlotte's most talked-about highways. One of its most challenging interchanges has been memorialized in a video game. There are also proposals to...

There comes a moment when you begin to feel a strange hollowness even in a successful life. That is when many of us start the quiet shift from chasing ambition to wanting something that actually feels alive. Here is the gentle art of making that change.

Gonzo and Weird Fiction seem to be synonymous with the classic TSR era D&D games (pre-AD&D 2e) and some OSR games. From my perspective, Gonzo encapsulates the bizarre, off-the-wall strangeness, and sometimes silly. While Weird Fiction encompasses Fantasy (specifically Sword and Sorcery),...
