From the 1930s, postcard nostalgia about the âdays of the Square Riggerâ: âStokesâ in this case is Isaac Newtown Phelps Stokes, who wrote the definitive book, in six volumes, on the physical and visual history of New York City up to the early twentieth century: The iconography of Manhattan Island. The Stokes...
When I think back on my time at Blockbuster, I sometimes think of The Sandlot. Not because we spent our shifts playing baseball, although we probably would have if there had been room between the New Releases wall and the candy display, but because it was a period of innocence, confusion, growing up, and making the...
I just finished re-reading Ted Chiang' "Story of your life", and a number of things clicked in my head. You may have picked up that I read this novel at the same time as I was working on my Ph.D. research. You may have picked up that this research was MY research topic, but I had not written yet that I did hunt for...
Most retellings of Elvis Presley's funeral stop at the hearse pulling out of Graceland's gates on 18 August 1977. That's usually where the story ends: eighty thousand mourners lining Elvis Presley Boulevard, a white suit, a Cadillac procession, a nation stopped in its tracks.

Below Iâm mentioning only the things that I have done, or was somewhat adjacent to the things being done....
The latest newsletter finally went out. This is issue #235: Can't Stop Won't Stop. As always, sign up lives here. Recently, I had to turn down working with a novelist I admire. He had a fantastic idea for a graphic novel; an exhilarating historical epic that would need at least 500 pages to unfold and probably...
Previously weâve run through how to open an online broker account and how to buy and sell ETFs. Today weâre going to look at purchasing an index tracker fund. Next stop, the world â muhaha! (Oops, did I say that out loud? I meant to write: âNext step, a globally diversified passive portfolioââŠ) What is an index...
I've been receiving lots of "Undeliverable Mail Returned to Sender" lately for Protohackers signup attempts. Protohackers login is via a "magic link", so attempting to sign up or log in results in sending an email. But none of the email body is user-controlled, so I don't really see the logic in abusing this form to...
