In this age of insipid, AI-driven brainless takes, we have to bring back "Cool Story, Bro" as a riposte.

I wish there was an alternative to the term 'agentic' which, for some reason I find to be a weird contrivance.

The existence of -maxxing implies the existence of -minning. That is to say, if you can looksmaxx, surely you can looksminn as well.

It's always exciting when something you've worked on for months finally sees the light of day; especially so when it's a feature that supports a type of media you really love. I started my career in radio and TV in the early 2000s, so it was really fun to work on features for audio content in […]

To send your 6-8 year old children into fits of giggles, just show them the “Girlfriend is Better” scene from “Stop Making Sense” with the big suit and dance moves. Guaranteed hit.

Back in the instrument training saddle for the first time in an embarrassingly long time. Astonished to find I could still fly a plane while not looking out of the window without crashing it or worrying my instructor too terribly. Two approaches into Sullivan […] [Original post on threads.com]

A plea: If you are a music promoter, in addition to telling me when the doors open at your show, please also tell me what time the first act begins. I am old and have to plan childcare. It is no use saying "Doors Open 6p, Doors Close 10p" because the single act on the bill is definitely not […]

Oshkosh 2026 in the books. Made it home last night after having to cut the flight short in PA for weather and driving the last 200mi home—I’ll have to ferry the plane home at the weekend. What an adventure! 1400 miles of flying in about 18 hours total. The show itself defies description. It’s […]

NYC to Oshkosh Day 2: We departed Toledo with the sunrise and flew west passing over South Bend and Gary before turning North to fly the Chicago skyline. Then northwest for a fuel stop at Dodge County, WI. We saw the Oshkosh arrival was in holding so we waited an […] [Original post on threads.com]

Day one: NYC to Oshkosh or bust. Got a bit of a late start due to clouds following yesterday’s thunderstorms. Left at 3:30 and made it to Toledo, Ohio just about sunset. Our gambit paid off; the clouds lifted and by the time we made it to Pittsburgh for a fuel […] [Original post on threads.com]

Permanent DST is a miserably bad idea. We have empirical evidence because we have tried exactly this before. It was widely loathed because in the north during the wintertime, the sun didn't rise until well after 8am, so children went to school in the dark. The policy didn't last a year. There is […]

During World Cup 1998 when I had just arrived in the US, there was little to no fanfare that I can recall. It was hard to watch the games, and it just didn't seem to register on the cultural radar here. Maybe it's because I live in New York now, but over time I've seen more and more interest in […]

Hey while we're giving Europe a hard time for not having AC, can we also talk about how it's no longer necessary to have separate hot and cold taps, and mixing taps are obviously better?

Took a day off to commit grievous acts of aviation. Almost 90F outside turned the Cessna 172 into a sauna with wings, and made climb performance…marginal at best. #aviation threads

In >20y in NYC I have never seen the city unite around one of its sports teams like the Knicks in the playoffs this year. The Yankees in '09 and '24 didn't come close. Maybe it's because the Knicks are the majority-favorite team in town, or maybe it's just that they play right in the middle of […]

Finished the checkout cycle on the club’s Diamond DA40. Really fun challenge learning to fly a new aircraft type; quite a change from Cessnas, with slick handling and a totally different view, especially at landing. Looking forward to putting up some hours this summer! #aviation threads

One of the great joys of flying little aeroplanes is giving friends their first taste of General Aviation, and in NYC it doesn't get better than a Hudson River/Skyline tour. Not too shabby of a landing, either. #aviation threads
