Dear YT, I have a romance/friendship/life problem that I hope you can help with. I have been seeing a very handsome, compassionate, communicative, hard working man for the last seven months. I’d known and admired him for years in a professional setting before we finally started dating last fall. I adore him and hold him […]

I have no idea whether this is even a fair question to ask you, but I am currently struggling with my old cat. He is about 15 years old and has had some x-rays to confirm that his rather pronounced limp is due to arthritis in his hips and the back part of his spine. […]

Dear Yours Truly, What is love?! What is a good relationship? What is worth fighting for? My live-in boyfriend of 3.5 years and I broke up three months ago, very abruptly, moved out from each other. Our relationship was at least 85% great, but we did have problems we needed to work on such as […]

My massage was awesome! It felt medical, like it was actually intervening in my body in heavy ways. It was not a good hard back rub like most massages. She spent like 55 minutes just working on my fucked up leg, and crazy changes were felt inside of me! She told me so much information […]

In the piece, Gadney sets outs Sportsvision’s work as a model for other infoviz practices, especially those aimed […]

Before Social Media, there was Virtual Community. Before Facebook, there was The Well. And it’s for sale. Tell the most recent owners, Salon.com, to give The Well a flippin’ break before dashing it on the rocks and selling its domain name, well.com. Salon may or may not listen at their salon.com/feedback link. Bruce Sterling (pictured) […]

perusing the brilliant Philj “Fudge” Elv(e)rum’s Fancy People Adventures, as I often do when I need a little pick-me-up, I came across this gem, which I feel is very true to life.

MEGA SPOILERS AHEAD, PLEASE DON’T READ UNTIL YOU WATCH!!!! You guys. What a truly great film. I was so invigorated and satisfied by the ending, and this is what I wish to discuss today! The reviews I’ve read of this movie do not talk about the ending, and I don’t think it’s just because it’s […]
