Apple, a $4.1 trillion company, can’t build a mobile browser that handles enlarged text
Age, like the weather, changes how you go about your day. My eyes are going after three decades of looking at computer screens.

Occupy the darkness
I thought millions of words would make a difference, so I joined the army of writers and made them, year after year. An article here, an essay there. A poem. A book, a short story. Ephemeral scribblings like this one. All of them crawled from the writhing places inside myself to the edge of the … Read more
