No, this post isn’t about the Eurovision Song Contest entry by the UK this year from the girl group Remember Monday. (Although, if you haven’t heard the song, I encourage you to check it out!) No, today’s post is heartbreaking to write about. My alma mater is back in the news because of its journalism …
Yesterday marked the end of Week 6 in the NFL season. I grew up a fan of Da Bears. (Yes, I remember hearing “The Super Bowl Shuffle” on the radio.) So far, the Bears have a 2-2 record, taking into account the Week 5 bye week. Week 1 started the season off with a heartbreaking …
America Online—later rebranded to the simpler AOL—was ahead of its time. Once upon a time, the company connected millions of homes to the internet, wooing customers through their prolific free CDs available at retailers and sent to homes directly through the postal service. The rite of passage of making sure no one was on the …
Good penmanship. Some folks have it. Some folks don’t. Personally, I’ve been complimented on my penmanship in the past. But I’m the first to admit that there are times when I look at some note I’ve jotted down in a hurry, and I can’t decipher what I wrote down. I’m sure this isn’t something exclusive …
I want to build off my post from Tuesday and introduce you to Dan Pelzer. At some point in 1962, Dan decided to start keeping a list of books he read. Dan died 63 years later on July 1, 2025. He kept that list going through those years. When his vision stopped him from reading …
Earlier in my career, I worked for an international book publisher. I started there, working on the creation of books that I would later see on the bookshelves at Borders (remember them?) and Barnes & Noble. As my career continued, I transitioned from print books to online content and, subsequently, ebooks. I understand the convenience …
I remember the excitement one June night a few years ago when I—and several hundred classmates—gathered on the football field to bring our high school journey to a close. It was a thrilling time in our lives. Some of us—such as myself—were planning to start our collegiate career in a few months. Some students were …
It was a simple enough initiative. Do some drilling into the rock underneath to study the feasibility of using geothermal energy to power a building. The building in question: The Denver Museum of Nature and Science. As you might guess, the scientists at the museum were interested in looking at the core samples to understand …
This past Sunday, the Tour de France wrapped up with the final stage of the race as the riders rolled into Paris and finished the race along the Champs-Élysées. Not surprising to cycling fans, 26-year-old Slovenian Tadej Pogačar won his fourth Tour de France. (He previously won in 2020, 2021 and 2024.) I watched replays …
Think back to your youth. If you had siblings, I would bet that you’ve experienced a tickle war at some point in your life. Being tickled is something that everyone has experienced at least once in their life. So why does science know so little about it? Charles Darwin and Socrates pondered the physical reaction …
