I have been advising people I know to block, then delete and report junk (iOS) to unwanted texts. Others have argued with me that you should reply STOP. I disagree, especially afte…

I use https://pinside.com . It's been around for a long time and is an amazing resource for Pinball info.

I was shocked as a non-hockey fan to see an ad of a car driving along the wall during active play. My eyes instinctively moved to the ad away from the puck. It was gross. As an NBA…

I love the way Automat makes me feel every time I look at it. When I first started reading your comment I got defensive. After some thought, of course I agree with you. I've enjoye…

I wrote a small web app in Crystal a few years ago. I enjoyed the language and the experience, except for the compile times. Any experiences of folks using the interpreter for spee…

I love it when this comes up in the rss feed. I wish more folks did these!

For me, when learning a new language, there's a war in my brain between learning the thing and being productive. If I'm not productive long enough, I jet. It took me a couple of tr…
