A stimulating discussion on culture is in progress at Tasty Tacos. Dig in!
I’m not worthy so much as to gather taco crumbs from under the table. The presence of an unwashed philistine such as myself in the kitchen may not make the tacos any tastier, but perhaps it makes the process more democratic instead of […]

I just got a jury summons. Like most people, I’ve never actually served on a jury. But I’m considering a career change to jury duty because the compensation is skyrocketing. Last time I got a summons it was from Harris County and they were going to pay me six bucks a day. Fort Bend County […]

Generally, I don’t have a lot of patience for Alan Cooper. He’s one of software’s more flamboyant personalities, and he often irritates me.

I coughed this up today on the plane home from New Hampshire.

On vacation this week in New London, NH, I explored the old farmhouse on my family’s property. The structure dates from 1793 and is in the state’s register of historic places. Part of it has been renovated for apartment living (one of my cousins lives there with her husband), but part of it is still […]
