The LA Invitational is one of my favorite rides of the year, and one I’ve done every year (except 2024) since they started in 2022. I am not a group ride person! Or a race person, for that matter—but these rides

Utah’s prolonged measles outbreak is straining doctors, parents and public health officials as falling vaccination rates force a shift from containing each case to managing broader community spread.

Each morning, as the day unfolds its light, I linger for a while upon the smiling DPs of friends whose … More

I love the summer. Growing up, it meant family vacations, beach days, block parties—really, what’s not to like? But for millions of Americans, the meaning of summer has been shifting. In many parts of the country, excitement for the upcoming season has turned into anxiety over the weather events—the extreme heat, hurricanes, drought, and wildfires—that have increasingly defined our summers in…

It has become a tradition in the big products demos from Google and Apple to show how their “artificial intelligence” features can easily touch up photos, removing unwanted elements or visual cruft. I have many, many hills that I’ll die on related to AI, but this

Since Donald Trump’s reelection, progressive and moderate Democrats have spent a lot of time fighting over differences in their approaches to campaign messaging and strategy. But the differences that matter most are those that occur after an election, when it’s time to govern. There’s no better example than the emerging contrast between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Virginia Governor…

I do not run after the fleeting sound, Of others’ words that drift around… No borrowed scales define my place, No race for wealth, no endless chase… . I do not weigh my worth each day, By what others have, think or say… Their strengths, flaws or rising fame, Can never shape my truest name… … … Continue reading →

The year was 2008, and the movie was Elizabethtown. Actually, that movie was released in 2005 but by 2008 the DVD was out. And DVDs mean only one thing: you watch the same movie over and over until you get sick of it...or until you get just plain sick. Either works. Elizabethtown is not a very good movie at all. It's got a few things going for it, though. Paul Schneider is in it. Alec Baldwin…

The MacBook Neo has certainly created a lot of attention for Apple and the Mac. But if you’re on the outside (a.k.a. a dedicated Windows PC user) looking in, you probably shrugged it all off as the usual Apple hype.

But Microsoft seems to be convinced that the hype is real, because it recently “commissioned” a report by Signal65 to convince everyone that Windows PCs are the better…

There is a place in the United States of America where if you happen to glance out your window as you drive past on the highway, you might see a metal sculpture of a skeletal man leading an equally skeletal T-Rex toward a small western town. Skeleton Man and his pet live “between.” They’re in that hazy world between the place you left and the place you want to be. They are a part of the ride that…

Sherman, set the WABAC machine to about 2006, I guess. I hadn't actually had anything other than a point-and-shoot camera in my hands in quite some time. I used to borrow one of those Sony Mavica MVC FD90 cameras from work just about every weekend though. Anyone remember those? You'd put a 1.44 MB (that's megabyte, not gigabyte) floppy disk in the thing as your storage medium. The disk would hold…
