If everyone's Faith Meter was set to "good" and the lever was then snapped off and thrown into a trash compactor, perhaps the phrase "Epstein Class" would be an effective rallying cry for every working American who would vote for anyone willing to bring justice to the country's comically evil,...

Well, it’s good to be back in harness once more, if that’s the right word, but the issues I had in trying to access my Blogger account, were enough to try the patience of a saint. In the end, the problem boiled down to a conflict between my username and my chosen password, where just one digit was...

It’s Thursday evening, 11:30pm, and I am exhausted. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done nothing extraordinary. I’ve commuted to work, done the work, gone to the gym, done the things that one does at the gym, showered, picked up groceries, cooked pasta, watched World Cup highlights, cleaned the dishes,...

In a recent story for AlcoholProfessor I wrote about John deBary’s latest book on nonalcoholic cocktails and the tricks he uses to improve the NA spirits you can buy off the shelf, mostly with the addition of boosting botanicals and/or intense tea infusions. I’m a big fan of deBary’s work in the...

If you’ve seen Pacific Rim, you know the core idea behind a Jaeger: a pilot doesn’t push buttons to make the giant robot punch — they punch, and the robot punches with them. The machine reads the pilot’s body and mirrors it. That’s the exact idea behind the first control mode I built for the...

This historical novel, set in 1952, begins dramatically with a dead or nearly dead body. Honor Wilson, a seemingly respectable widow, inherited a large Victorian house in London after her much-older husband died but little in the way of other assets. She takes in lodgers: George (Georgina),...

We’ve got the first listed Peanuts book for 2027, and while it’s a board book for kids, it’s going to have something for all you Freida fans.

I recently finished reading The Orphan Master’s Son, a (Pulitzer-winning, apparently) novel set in 2000’s-era North Korea. In one plot point, Kim Jong Il has agents steal a Japanese telescope designed to measure the cosmic microwave background radiation, under the mistaken impression that it will...

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was born in Paris, son of banker Augustin De Gas. At 11 Degas enrolled in Lycée Louis-le-Grand, graduating in 1853. He was painting seriously and by 18, his bedroom became an artist's studio. He began making copies in the Louvre, but his father wanted him to study. So Degas...

Introduction For the last few months, I’ve been stuck on what should have been a simple question: What should I learn next? What should be my learning priorities? The problem wasn’t a lack of options. It was too many options. At first, I thought the answer would come naturally. There are so...

This is not a question about importance, usefulness, or being remembered. It asks something stranger: whether each existence introduces a unique difference into reality, even when no visible trace remains.

I've always loved being near water. It's why the creek that runs down two sides of our property was such a selling point. There are even two footbridges! One thing I didn't appreciate until we moved in was how much the presence of that creek would make me aware of different rhythms in the weather....
