You like the music you like and that itself is as punk rock as you can get. The difference between "Lookout! Green Day" and "Warner Green Day" is one of DIY vs Payola. These days, it's much easier and potentially mo

I’m no Buddhist scholar and think highly of Buddhism, but didn’t Siddhārtha Gautama leave his wife and child on his path to enlightenment? Appreciate the perspective and agree you’re not present when you daydream, but your example might con

Sigh. The author neglects to mention Zappa or Chalice, which kind of blows down the historyonic soapbox.

The beauty of it is that you can start with pen and paper. Mind mapping apps are like multi-vitamins; just pick one and go. I prefer SimpleMind for its touch-friendly UI, cross-platform support, and consistent updates, but you can use almos

I'm curious about the upgrade path for folks who have been using the existing iCloud for Windows. Is the Microsoft Store version somehow different than the version Apple offers on their site? What's involved with moving to the new

Not to knock IG, but any entity, especially a governmental branch, should be the canonical source for what they produce. It’s fine to use services like IG, but when it goes away or people stop using it (hello, MySpace) you’re left with link

Can't say enough good things about the Traveler's Notebook. - It's rugged. - It's modular. - It improves with age. In addition to all of the customization options, it's about the same size as a reporter's noteb

San Francisco’s Pier 43 Ferry Arch is a prime example. Prior to the Golden Gate Bridge and the post-war boom, it quite literally fed the city and surrounding area. The Embarcadero “E” line runs on the old Belt Railroad that connected to Pie

The "crunchy-granola" dog whistle in another thread is telling. Psychedelics and FOSS histories are intertwined. If that doesn't register, you're in for a bummer of a trip. The article seemed to do a pretty good job of e
