We walked home, with crinkly, thin, plastic bags in hand, chattering like the bird that my friends and I had discovered just a few hours before. He was so small, tiny enough I could carry him in the palm of our hands when we went from house, to house, in order to find a safe place to keep him. The soft feathers that covered the chick’s scrawny frame stuck out in a disorderly manner, especially the antenna of a feather on the top of his tiny head. Soft cream covered feathers, with lines of cocoa…

I also interviewed my friend Braeden Hess, who commutes the University of Arkansas every day, I asked him how he manages to get a good…

I have been asked by Rovio to develop a couple of levels for the game angry birds. They gave me eight levels that I should find the path that the birds need to fly in order to hit the pigs. The first thing I did was that the A for every quadratic equation should be negative because that’s how angry birds fly.

career of Greta Gerwig. But, since “Lady Bird” is her first solo directing effort, I didn’t think that should be an impediment to me seeing one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year as the second part of my MLK Day double feature. I’m glad I didn’t let it stop me, as this film is in the conversation as one of the best of the year for me. The semi-autobiographical movie, written and directed by Gerwig, follows the titular Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Saorise Ronan), a high…
