Years ago (probably close to 10), I remember hearing about The Singularity and sort of laughing it off as a joke, maybe an eventual possibility, but science fiction that humanity can’t fall into, because surely we are responsible enough not to let that sort of thing happen. Humanity is Awesomely Complex Really, we are these […]
Emoji, The Great Millennial Contribution
My wife and I just had a baby. A baby boy. He is adorable, not allowing us any real sleep, but he is cute, so there is that. Many new responsibilities come along with a new baby, one of which is the baby naming. As a religious Jew, it is traditional to wait to name the baby […]

As a native Chicagoan, by Mid-West standards, […]
