  • Cursive exercises the brain in different ways than block writing. It’s not strictly about learning and using cursive as a replacement to printing, it’s more about using the brain in a different way and building pathways that otherwise might not get built. Writing the letter G in cursive uses different brain areas than writing it in print.

    A similar thing happens in relation to using a keyboard to type words vs physically writing them, the brain functions differently with each method and writing uses more brain to process all the nuance that occurs. Writing the letter G is much different than pressing a G key.


  • Man I must be an outlier apparently, I don’t listen to any of the music from my teens or even my twenties except in rare nostalgia trips. I’m constantly finding newly released songs that I like and even cringe at some of the music I liked as a youth. I don’t think I can even define an era of “best music” - there’re so many great songs across all music.









  • Oh man, I used to work as essentially help desk for old people where they were subscribers to unlimited remote support and we would screen share. I once watched someone, whose browser homepage was hijacked by Yahoo, type Google into Yahoo, click the first result (to Google), then they typed Gmail into the Google search, clicked the link, and finally got to Gmail to login.

    Still not as bad as the lady who insisted on hacking Farmville using scripts and Firefox extensions that would have to call us every few weeks to fix everything due to an update. We essentially had to update Firefox and extensions and scripts and reload it all very often. She got passed around a lot.

    Then there was the guy who we helped low key pirate media, he was fun. Super nice guy.
