An author is never more vulnerable than when they have a book coming out, so I’ll often reach out to their publicists and snag them for an interview. In this case, the publicist reached out to me, and I’m very glad she did, because I’ve been a fan of Julia’s for a long time, and her answers are just as beautiful as...
The slate wagon body is simple, and ingenious. First, the sides are dropped into holes in the floor. These needed to be drilled out, although I just waggled a tapered reamer in to make them larger. Lashings of MEK softened the plastic so they would push in. Then, three slats are inserted into the ends. For the...

Then I upgraded Creative Suite twice for another 1.800 €, Maya once for 2.500 €, and bought...
Anyone making a map of the Japanese occupation of China, or more generally of the wartime Japanese empire as a whole has a few ways they can go about it. The first and most common option is to depict the geographical expanse of Japanese control in the form of a mostly unbroken field of controlled territory as we see...
I started working in technology around 1993. One of my first jobs was in quality assurance, partly because there was no security profession to join yet. There were people doing the work, but few companies were hiring for it. That changed within a decade. Until it did, people with the instincts that would later...
