I’m proud to announce that, through my company Technology and Society, my wife Ginny and I will sponsor women’s football club Atlético London for the 2025/26 season.

A closeup shot of the badge for the home shirt of women's football (soccer) club Atlético London for the 2025/26 season. The badge features the letters AL in a circle extending beyond the top edge of the main badge, a dragon representing the London City flag, and the red-and-white vertical strips of Atlético Madrid. A broad, jagged line of red extends down the shirt against a white backdrop. Part of the techsoc.com sponsorship crest appears below the badge.

PORTLAND - OCTOBER 15: "As letter carriers, we will immediately report ICE, DHS or border control presence when we see it to the PDX Immigrant Rights Coalition. .. As you know, mail carriers are on every street every day, so we are a big set of eyes." -- Jamie Partridge, Letter Carriers Association

Jonathan Rey Lee’s book on CATAN is almost out. It’s the first in the Tabletop Gaming series that Paul Booth and I have been hard at work editing this past three years. Anyway, the book is fantastic. Please consider it and share with the right people.

Thank you. That's it!

I recently saw a series of posts for a book (first of a series?) where the main character is a thief who is part of a family that does jobs to entertain the rich. It's set in a cyberpunk-like dystopia. The cover shows a masked woman who has jumped out of a window. I can't remember the title. Help!

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

People who say "you can't possibly read everything you cite" are saying a lot about themselves, IMO.

It doesn't have to be a heavy lift. I spend about half an hour a day processing new-to-me papers by organizing them in my reference managers & adding topical tags so I can create bibliographies.

Comments in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint used to be simple...now they're a threaded conversation engine that's useful but a bit complicated to manage. In this week's YouTube video I'll show you how to use Notes, the newly renamed tool that was previously called "Comments" in Microsoft Office.

Yes, I'll be making some money off this thing, and that's good, but the whole point of the project was to get the books out into the world.

I'd like to get it to 3K before the thing is over.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

I moved here from DC in 1995 and am very glad I did. It was still possible to be a screwup and make enough to get by then--not so much now.

Portland, Oregon weather forecast for the 96 days.

A video of a back garden in Portland, Oregon. There is a garage to the left with a purple door leading into it. To the right is hardscaping and a cedar fence. It’s raining. Of course it’s raining…it’s Portland.
