Fifteen years ago today, I got my first paid writing assignment. I had responded to a call for "evergreen" feature pitches at my (then-)favourite website, Ars Technica, and was shocked that they actually wanted me—a student with hardly any experience with long-form writing—to write for them.

In writing, we call this narrative pattern "The salesman's journey."

Today in YouTube's content match system is broken: First off, "Happy Birthday?" Secondly, the segments in the video that they identified are COMPLETELY SILENT. No audio at all.

Anyone else used to receive walnuts and oranges as gifts this time of year? My German grandparents were big on this.

As someone who grew up in the Midwest in the 1980s, Thanksgiving represented the one day a year that you could hear this counterculture legend on the radio. Clocking in at nearly 19 minutes long, it was the best value on iTunes for many years at only $.99. youtu.be/WaKIX6oaSLs?...

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Printsgiving!

Thanks, @mona2.bsky.social!

Well, time for the NYT to fire off another editorial about how employees are the reason why CEO AI dreams can't become reality. Next time instead of sabots, just throw in the CEO themself. fortune.com/2025/11/26/i...

If your YouTube channel has to lean into lazy AI generated titillation to get people to watch your content, here's the "one cool trick" I'm going to recommend to your viewership:

Star Wars ranking: Empire Strikes Back. That episode of TNG where Data wore all those masks to represent a bunch of characters from some dead civilization's mythology but really it was just an excuse to let Brent Spiner chew the scenery for forty minutes. The rest of Star Wars.

Sometimes I get the feeling I'm spread too thing when it comes to retro tech/gaming. I like all the consoles, all the retro computers, all the neat retro things. My brain usually wants to hyper fixate on a specific platform for a bit, then I hop to another thing, rinse repeat!

My recent playthrough of Space Quest II is live on YouTube. I'm increasingly convinced that these Apple IIGS ports are the definitive versions of Sierra's early AGI engine games.

This is the ideal travel attire. You may not like it, but this is what peak passenger looks like.

I'm excited to read about all the people facing lawsuits and tax leins over the next few years because they decided to let GROK do their taxes.
