The "Stephenson doesn't do endings" meme again. Sigh. Yes, the novel ends and it's obvious that the characters' lives keep going. Lots of authors do that. Real life often doesn't have endings or clear resolu

I came across Memory of Whiteness while taking my college music theory classes. It's very fantastical but I loved how he connected various compositional techniques with physical processes. It's a very underrated book.

I've come to appreciate Lucas and (Clone Wars and Rebels director) Dave Filoni as prophets of our times. It's very true that the prequels are deeply flawed by overcomplication and bad acting. The prequels are rescued by the last

Back in the 90s I travelled all over Japan using a similar railpass (seishun18kippu). It was a really relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a vacation, but then Japan has lots of cool stuff to see within easy distance of train stations. Some

Many countries around the world have an "untouchable" class. I'm most familiar with the burakumin in Japan (disclosure: lived next to a burakumin community while teaching there). These untouchable classes function in society

If I've understood the science stories I've been reading the organisms closer to the bottom of the food chain (plankton, krill, insects, etc) outnumber us in terms of biomass, and we are incredibly dependent on the part they play

Countries like Japan and Taiwan have cultures of cooperation and listening to authorities during normal times that serve to protect the entire society in times of crisis. Americans' individuality doesn't work as well as we though

What kinds of preparations would mitigate the worst effects of this? Are contemporary surge protectors enough to protect home/office equipment? How about the power grid? Would the kinds of changes we're talking about making to en

No question: text is the absolute winner. Reading is just faster, plus with videos you can't search, can't cut-and-paste, and can't skim. Video is for my son to learn about Minecraft blocks. This may be just me, but I find th
