Letter to the Editor Backlink in Chicago Sun Times
I was checking my backlinks on Ahrefs when I saw one from the Chicago Sun Times. I do not recall having had a Chicago Sun Times backlink, so I checked to see what it was about. On July 1, 2026, the paper published America 250-inspired letters to the editor. One of these letters, from Harvey J. Graff of Lincoln Park, made the case that America's true birthday falls in 1783 (marking The Treaty of Paris), not 1776.While the Treay of Paris is worth commemorating (perhaps that is in order for my […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/letter-to-the-editor-backlink-in-chicago-sun-times-07-31-26/

Tell Everyone About Your Hero[in]ism
A friend sent me a link to an interview in Natiulus titled I Am a Heroin User. I Do Not Have a Drug Problem. I trusted that she sent it to me because she thought based on the headline that it would be a very sober take (or the opposite, either/or). Against my better judgment, I read the interview. At first my most novel thought was "of course he's a professor at Columbia." But then I thought a bit more and had another novel thought. Over on The New Leaf Journal, I have been a long-time […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/tell-everyone-about-your-heroinism-07-31-26/

Responding to Nagoya Basho Grades
I read and enjoyed Josh K's Some Highly Subjective Grades for Nagoya 2026, referring to the Nagoya Basho grand sumo tournament. He gave out four A's to M7E Kotoeiho, S2W Aoniishki (A+ to the winner), S1E Atamijfuji, and OE Kirishima. I cannot disagree with any. The latter three competed in a playoff for the title, so I will focus on Kotoeiho, who was one win out of the playoff. He was wrestling at what was by far his career high rank at M7E after having made a title run from lower in the […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/responding-to-nagoya-basho-grades-07-31-26/

On Tactics to Hit the Hacker News Front Page
I read a post by Herbert Lui titled 5 tactics for hitting the Hacker News front page. I had six New Leaf Journal articles make Hacker News page one between April 2021 and January 2024, and can say with certainty that I never employed any of Mr. Lui's recommendations or things not to do. I also never submitted any of my own articles to Hacker News (the only thing of mine I submitted was my GitHub repository on Bing Search blacklisting). But I must quibble with Mr. Lui's assertion that only […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/on-tactics-to-hit-the-hacker-news-front-page-07-25-26/

Tadej Pogacar Shatters Pantani’s 1995 Alpe d’Huez Record by 1:15
I haven't watched the Tour de France since 2016, mainly due to the fact I dropped cable and would need to subscribe to a streaming service that may or may not work with my all-Linux set-up. But I stay abreast of the big stories, as I proved last year with my articles on the superhuman feats of Tadej Pogačar on Hautcam and later on Mont Ventoux. Back when I was following cycling closely from 2009-2016ish, there were certainly questions about some of the performances, but for the most part […] -

Were AI Blog Post Images Ever Cool?
I read an interesting blog post by Panagiotis Vryonis titled AI-generated blog post images are not cool any more. My first thought was "they were never cool." But I read on to see his perspective. While I and many others serve as proof that asserting that "everyone does it" is flippant, he does offer a practical point (from a non-AI skeptic perspective) that enough people use AI images to illustrate blog posts that it has the effect of "look[ing] like a 2000 PowerPoint using animated […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/were-ai-blog-post-images-ever-cool-07-22-26/

Light Phone Continues to Fail QWERTY Test
I have read some articles about the Light Phone and other "minimalist" phones. As someone who wrote not one but two articles on my "ideal" phone concept (creative concept photography included), I am always interested in seeing new ideas in the space. I called for open source software, QWERTY keyboard, and an e-ink screen. The Light Phone, which seems to be one of the more oft-covered "minimalist" phones, checks the e-ink box, but not the other two. Does that change with the new Light Phone?

Cup Noodle (Cold Edition) in Japan
SoraNews24, which covers news from Japan, is a long-time member of my feed collection and a regular article contributor to the "Around the Web" secution of my weekly newsletter. They cover some "news" news, see for example an article I wrote based in significant part on a SoraNews24 report about dress code rules in Japanese schools. But they also cover less serious matters such as food and snack trends in Japan. I recently read an article about Nissan introducing code Cup Noddle instant […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/cup-noodle-cold-edition-in-japan-07-16-26/

Using AIM Until the Bitter End
Hackaday published an article authored by Tyler August titled AIM-ing For A More Open Platform Than Discord, wherein he summarized an article on running a self-hostable open-source implementation of AIM's underlying OSCAR protocol (see Here's how I host my own AIM server at Veronica Explains). I appreciate the project to bring back AIM because I used AIM for many years. My own use of AIM inspired me to reply to one minor part of Mr. August's report. He began the article by asserting that […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/using-aim-until-the-bitter-end-07-15-26/

Fortunate NBA Champions (2001-2016)
Writing for The Pudding, Russell Samora recently put together a list of the "most ethical" NBA champions, wherein he used a formula (with many entertaining graphs) to determine, going back to 2001, which NBA champions benefited the least and most from missed games against their playoff rivals. I followed the NBA closely for most of the relevant period, let us say 2001-16, so I can offer my own, non-stat-infused take, on which champions had the most good fortune in the misfortune of their […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/07-14-26-fortunate-nba-champions-2001-2016/
