How (and Why) to Generate a Static Website Using Jekyll, Part 1

By Prof. Hacker. In this 3-part tutorial I will be covering the basics of my site generator of choice, Jekyll. Alas, Jekyll only really works smoothly for Mac and Linux machines. In this tutorial I will be assuming a Mac machine, but I’m confident that Linux users will find it easy to extrapolate.

Slowing Down: 6 Strategies for Deep Listening

By Prof. Hacker. When I was younger, I would study for my science tests by shutting myself in my closet with headphones and favorite tapes in the Walkman (?! God, I’m ancient).

What’s a Passive?

By Lucy Ferriss. I am not prepared to engage in the Passive Wars. As with any dispute, however, it behooves us to know what the heck it is we’re fighting about.

Take It Away

By Allan Metcalf. Back in the day, the take away we knew was a verb plus adverb combination that had something to do with subtraction — six take away three is three. In the 21st century, however, take away has been compressed into a noun, like carbon into a diamond. More...

By Al Martinich and Tom Palaima. The removal of Jefferson Davis’s statue from its prominent location on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin this week may appear to end the university’s difficult struggle to shake off its historical embrace of racist values and practices. It does not. More...
