A day later, and it still feels like a dream. For the first time in 44 years, my Purdue Boilermakers are going to the Final Four – the first in my lifetime. I know there is a contingent of “hE’s JuSt tAlL!” idiots out there, but watching Zach Edey and company go to work has… Read More »
I love a good, in-depth bit of research on a fun, esoteric topic. I always look at my wife and say “Titular line!” any time a character says the name of the movie they’re in. Someone did the research to see how common it is, and while movies with names of protagonists as titles do… Read More »

I want an Apple Fitness Tracker instead. I really, really love the Fitness tracking, closing your rings, the Workouts app, etc. I just don’t use the watch for notifications. And I’d frankly like to use a regular watch – I have several I’ve stopped wearing – and so would love a slimmed down version of… Read More »
