These e-ink projects always grab my attention, I guess it may be the hacker spirit of such endeavors ( we did it because we can ). While they are neat, I'm left wondering what are some real world use cases, personal or business, wher

The inept Federal government is at fault and has been for decades. The incompetence and inaction demonstrated by the legislative branch on issues clearly within their purview (e.g.immigration) is stupefying. This behavior would surely resul

Does anyone else have difficulty reconciling these Happy Days Are Here Again type articles, with the more somber slice of life type? For example, I came across this article titled The Tragedy of Being a New Mom in America immediately

I'm nostalgic for the pre-9/11 flying experience well except for one thing: anyone being allowed to wait at the gate. Imagine the mad house if friends and family could accompany a traveler to the gate, or wait for their loved one

The FBI is never a good bedfellow. The winds change and each party has their turn sharing a common enemy with the bureau. With righteousness and zeal, they claim the throne of patriotism. I'm not sure if it's dissonance or politic

FWIW the USDA says plain paper towels are fine to wrap food while microwaving [1]. But I agree with the notion of wanting to minimize exposing food to toxins. I try to limit my microwave usage all together and prefer the oven for reheating
