Election Eve Predictions
It’s election eve and I’m ready to make some predictions. I do so with a healthy dose of humility because I remember many things I have got wrong in the past. I said Trump would never win in 2016. I said Biden would never be the Democratic nominee in 2020. Having said that, I still have thoughts.
First, Harris wins big. Even if the election isn’t called until after election day. She wins big.
Second, the headlines will be a few dozen variations on: women are pissed about Roe and turned out to show it.
And the polls missed it.

Bass Gear Updates
Here's an update on the EBH1505MS from Ibanez. With the help of some others I think I have zeroed in on what its problem is: the pickups are wired out of phase. This results in an instrument that sounds perfectly reasonable with either pickup soloed, but that sounds...
Rao’s: The Perfect Platonic Form Of Marinara
Years ago I used to make more pasta at home. I don't know why I've gotten out of the habit. I was thinking about switching to grating my own parmesan cheese with a microplane as opposed to using pre-shredded stuff, when it occurred to me: whatcha gonna use it on? So I...
Fully Coconut-Pilled
I thought about it some more and I now realize vice president Harris is the perfect choice. Here's some of the reasons why. It's orderly. There will be no "Democrats In Chaos" headlines. Your vice president is exactly who takes the wheel when you step aside. Voters of...
Well, Here We Go
Uncle Joey has bowed out. It was the right thing to do. But does this automatically put Democrats in a better position? I don’t have an answer. Suppose vice president Harris does ascend to the top of the Democratic ticket. We will have replaced an unfit candidate for...
Snapdragon X: The Industry Answers Apple Silicon
Well, they’ve gone and done it. The rest of the computer industry has finally answered Apple’s M-series of ARM-based silicon. It took them nearly four years, but Microsoft and Qualcomm have joined forces to produce a Windows-on-ARM platform that, while it doesn’t beat...
GF Teriyaki Meatballs
So many people avoid gluten these days. I don't avoid it myself, but when cooking for others one needs to think carefully. Which is why when I saw this recipe for gluten-free meatballs with teriyaki sauce that used potato flakes as a stand-in for the panade, I was...
GPT-4o: Wow
I’ve been aware of the various AI happenings recently. I have even tried some of them. I had one generate an image for me just a few weeks ago. It was even better than I expected and I used it for my project. Around that same time, I was composing multiple drafts of...
Go Go Gadget: Up Your Travel Game
I have done a lot of traveling for business over the last year and a half or so. This fact has had a few different impacts on me, not the least of which is (largely) getting over my intense dislike of airports. But it has also caused me to level up my travel game, to...
