I've got a friend's dad who's a three-time stroke victim. Prior to the first, dude was left handed. Knowing the guy, I think he'd really enjoy the Halo series of video games or something adjacent, but with his left hand…

I'm trying to get into the hold queue for a certain state government office that is (very) badly run. Long story short, you call the number and it puts you through around ~3.5 minutes of pre-recorded nonsense only to be…

Since we're working from home more often than ever these days, many of us have started to take our day-to-day workflow/experience more seriously, and have improved our personal workspaces as a result. What are some of…
