I’m a little bit embarrassed to share it at this point, but I’m developing an application, called Biblish, that is meant to offer small utilities that augment the process of reading, writing, publishing, and distributing literature. One pie

I’ve been working on a note taking app specifically for literature where the idea is that small groups of writers will come across one another’s notes while they’re reading the same work. By responding to another user’s notes the original n

It would be great if you could find the machine that is closest to 2 or more different locations, like if I want to challenge several friends across the country to post our high scores in a group message, and we needed to know what the shor

I've been doing research into the high-rise housing projects in Chicago. One of the things I'm curious about when it comes to advocacy for more housing and to have that housing be accessible regardless of mental health or substanc

Maybe we should mandate that plastics are manufactured with an off taste, similar to the way gas has a sulfur smell added to it.

Yeah, I wish not only self-publishing one’s own work, it also creating a small journal for publishing other writers was the first instinct of young writers, especially young writers of fiction, rather than seeking publication through more t

A reading habit, past a certain point, is self-propagating, in my experience. Based on conversation, explicit reference in other texts, and a general sixth-sense of what books to read next, I find that I rarely have a miscue. Abandoning a b

Papertrail is a service for taking digital notes for books you read in print in a way that is accessible, sharable, and optionally public-facing. It operates a smidgen like a forum where each book is its own kind of subreddit. It does, thou

I can’t understand this perspective. Why? What’s one guy being fired going to mean in the grand scheme of ai’s development?

These estimates seem weighted toward the reality that books are simply not read, and it is a meta-rationale, like the book's relevance to some theme that is perpetually bandied about in our political discourse, that is a more reliable

I have the same negative perception of AirBnBs in New York. I think the city also encourages hustler types, or people that are plugged in with local polls, who get away with everything they can.

One of the reasons literary fiction is becoming a lost art, I think, is due to how difficult it is to write about fiction. That difficulty extends to the discussion of fiction. I'm not sure if that is because information has become mor

The unrealistic character, running an illogical operation, comes to an obvious ending; point Shakespeare. I didn't realize Michael Lewis also wrote The Blind Side, which seems like a story that is, similarly, quite a bit more complex t

Interesting, but if you built that much housing in an area far removed from an ocean and without the historical economic, political, and social importance of Manhattan, it would become a ludicrous and near empty ghetto. Colorado may need mo

Print still has to work through some digital intermediary, unless you enjoy truly uncommon access to trustworthy and quality printing infrastructure. One of the first things that printing services are going to look into is feeding the works

Is it really a mistake to take your government at their word? Probably, yes. In this case, the actors likely knew they did not have the authority to unilaterally pursue this policy in a durable manner. It was misleading from the get.

Does anyone know a reliable source for purchasing Selectric II typewriters that are in good working condition? I worked on a Selectric II while working on a novel, and I am nostalgic for it and want it to write letters to friends.
