I saw a post on the website Cheezburger.com, which somehow floated to my SmartNews feed. First of all, writing a paragraph and then posting screenprints of comments from social media does not count as anything close to a news story. Nevertheless, since I have personal experience with the topic, I...

The Twitter experiment ends

He's got a BS/MS/Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Chemical Engineering, all from Stanford University. Suffice it to...

The big repair of sunglasses

One of the casualties of my wipeout was my favorite pair of sunglasses. My philosophy on sunglasses is that the primary function is to protect the eyes, the secondary function is to enhance vision, and the tertiary function is to look cool. Most people prioritize looking cool, but when you're...
