Steve Earle’s entire career posits the question: What if that slightly cringey try-hard kid that kept coming around were actually a world-class talent in his own right?...

If Townes Van Zandt is the Bob Dylan of highly literate country-adjacent songwriters, his buddy Guy Clark is the Springsteen. Maybe a little less transcendently brilliant, but more straightforward about the human condition, you might say “efficiently poetic” maybe, and with a better ear for what will sell and a less publicly...

Casual live performance from an old documentary. A few minor lyrical tweaks for those who know the song well, but a lovely performance from probably the iconic Texas troubadour.

Welcome to the intermittent hell my brain has been hitting me with for for 25 years.

I still pull this up from time to time and can’t help but giggle.

Very solid and mature parametric modeler, and if your workflow doesn’t rely on booleans too much, the hobbyist version is generally under $200 for a perpetual license.

So, my 10yo and I have a pretty great relationship. She’s smart and funny and curious and all the things I might have hoped I could raise a kid to be. That said, she idolizes her mom. As much as she is like me, Daddy is definitely the “boring” parent, because my job is stupider than my wife’s and also much less...

So, I figured y’all would be the best people to ask. I make fairly traditional row-staggered hand-wires, but I like them to be stabilizer-free, due to my home tooling limitations and a realization that they work fine. They also avoid one of the biggest pet peeves across the various niches of keyboard people. What is the...

Founded in March by a group of prominent Texas historians who broke off from the TSHA—some defecting entirely, some maintaining a dual allegiance—the organization is dedicated to promoting what it regards as a more pluralistic and inclusive approach to history. “No one in our society is to be excluded or denigrated because...

Please just figure out a way to pay kids for 3-5 year contracts. The portal, way more than NIL, is sucking all the joy out of this sport, but I can acknowledge that my interests as a fan only coincidentally and partially align with those of the players trading their services and health for my entertainment.

“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment....

Maybe we get v1.0 this year.

The University of Houston has informed the NFL that it will proceed with plans to add an alternate blue uniform. The about-face comes six months after the NFL’s merchandising and licensing division sent a cease-and-desist letter to UH, threatening legal action if the school did not halt what was described as UH’s “blatant...

Donald Trump has already been president once, and has been outspoken about the policies he would support and enact if elected again in November....

9 builds over the past year, from a 12-key macropad that spits out all the swear words and nonsense an overindulged and nerdy 10 year old can come up with, to a no-stabilizers, 102-key rethinking of the 96%. A couple of them have custom DIY keycap legends....

Catia v5 was the original UI inspiration. Take from that what you will.

Okay, it’s a numpad. However, if you happen to have access to a gantry-mounted diode laser engraver, it should be able to cut through cheap and readily available 3mm Masonite without much trouble (my 5w Comgrow took two passes). A couple of coats of textured spray paint gives a surprisingly nice finish, and mounting the MCU on...

…to go with my hand-wired keyboard (or any keyboard). Numpad is “Masonite” hardboard I cut myself and painted with “textured” spray paint. I had the keyboard layout cut from aluminum by Xometry a few months back.
