Filip R. Zahariev Under Review:Groundless Noir: Ontology and Latin American Crime Fiction. Erik Larson. Bucknell University Press, May 2026. RNoir is defined by cynicism, insecurity, vulnerability, and what Vivian Gornick once described as “the inability to feel the reality of your own life, or anyone else’s”. An...
You never forget and of course, how can anyone ever forget the times of their lives? And of course, I agree, the times of our life have changed and altered from their original state. But this is a normal thing. This is a thing that comes with age. Time moves and the glory days are more glorious and the memories...
Adam Wunn: FileMaker could be a simple database, with a friendly user interface, for someone’s recipe collection and similar needs (I used it for my CD collection at the time). [Yet another recipe collection trope – they used to advertise that as a feature to the everyday buyer – so funny!] FileMaker could also...
D. Griffin Jones: Now, Liquid Glass includes a new effect that blurs the content beneath it very heavily, but makes that blur mostly transparent.

[Good for the Steiners.] Back in 2024, I wrote about the intimidation campaign eBay executives waged against David and Ina Steiner.

And if you ever need to whip up a last-minute handmade gift, “Smalls” will be a big help. A few beginning woodworkers have asked us what tools they’ll need to build the projects in the...
It’s 2012. I’m late for my 8am marketing class. I’m running out the door of my tiny apartment, scrambling along the the sidewalk to campus. I’m 10 minutes away. Can I grab a coffee before class? Surely I can make it. I pull out my shiny new iPhone 5. Pull up YouTube. The wired headphones slowly untangle as I saunter...
The problem with making an edge case of yourself (in any respect) is that it becomes painfully obvious when people lapse into framing specific "You" as a generalized "Them." People very often are not interacting with a specific you. You dissolve for them into a category. This is perfectly normal, and usually...
For the last few years, we’ve been using Apple Music for streaming. It’s great to have access to a gigantic catalog of songs, but it come with its downsides. Kevin Kelly is a big proponent of Access over Ownership. We tend to agree that access to transportation, access to healthcare, access to education and access...
