In the pay-per-press future where punctuation and [Delete] cost more than any other keys and you're low on dough you'll have to trust auto-correct to make sure you can get it in to the place you can turn around and go into the kitchen sink and get back

Someday, an unfortunate kid is going to walk down into their "eclectic uncle" Topher's basement, and realize someone did not open the "readme.txt" before playing with a CRISPR/Cas9 Weekend Geneticist EZ-Kit.

Laughed out loud to myself the other day, offline, listening to vinyl, thinking the algorithms were at bay, but then Alexa on the shelf between the speakers laughed along.

She was a Dusky Shark. Conservation status: Vulnerable. Signs she was giving birth when she washed ashore. No visible trauma. Total mystery. Sad.

A summer hike through a ski resort is an adventure in seasonal dissonance. Ascending and descending trails stripped of snow’s porcelain veneer, you kick dust to the sky, fighting gravity up and down. Frictionless winter fun is just a quiet echo.

A stopped clock tells the correct time twice today, but a clock that spins 24 hours and one second, every second, is way more dangerous. It's true 86,400 times a day, and still broken.

With the passing of Walter Becker, let’s resurrect a piece of mine on Steely Dan, for whom I had conflicting feelings but also heavy sentimental attachment, their inescapable songs stamped on many pivotal moments through my halcyon teenage daydream years. I didn’t choose to write about them – the piece was an assignment.
Back in 2013, I jumped into in a meme game, on a whim, against character and habit. That it was a Facebook meme made it even rarer for me, since I spend maybe 5 minutes a month in eff-space (another post for the future, perhaps). Courtesy of Scott Faulkner (http://www.vinylsaurus.com), the game was if you “liked” Scott’s Facebook post, he assigned you a band/act and you would write on them in the same format. The assignments would then cascade through every generation of likes. Marc Weidenbaum (https://disquiet.com) liked Scott’s post and was assigned The Residents. I, in turn, liked Marc’s post about The Residents, so he assigned me… drum roll… Steely Dan.
