Phew, now that we’ve gotten that title out of the way…
If you’re like me, you still hold on to the instinct of slamming the phone down to end a conversation that’s upsetting. That instinct, however, doesn’t work out too well when you bring smartphones into the equation. Smartphones for dumb people prove problematic. I [...]
I was so psyched to see this article in the New York Times on internet usage and its effects on memory. I’ve been thinking about this idea for quite some time, but have continually forgotten to look up info on the topic. Hi ho.

The above result set is littered with the exact same thread countless times. Is this data that’s actually being duplicated across multiple forums or is each a feed of a single source?

I’ve often come to the point of writing error messages in a program and felt this little boost of enjoyment and motivation. I guess the process is creative and I appreciate that, but considering it more, writing error messages just feels a little more human than the rest of the work.

I keep seeing a new 1-inside-a-circle notification for a message in my inbox. I’ve lately preferred that I’m not hearing from a person. I’ve experienced the feeling of dread at the site of a text or email from an actual person. It’s the dread of something bad to come. I’m not sure what’s going on [...]

I’m pretty nervous. I’m a software developer by trade, but I’m not particularly great at what I do and my [...]
I’ve been contending with the WordPress “feature” for a while that flattens out the unchecked categories when you go to edit a post. I’d much rather have them displayed in their complete hierarchical arrangement than receive the benefit of having all the checked categories at the top. It took me a while to find an [...]
