Analog literals
A solution to a common problem:
// Consider:
unsigned int a = 4;
// Have you ever felt that integer literals like "4" don't convey the true size of the value they denote? If so, use an analog integer literal instead:
unsigned int b = I---------I;
assert( a == b );

For Timo art with me
Chris Wakelin asks Timo of Dovecot to change his English usage:
I've been meaning to tell you that should be "Yeah" for an informal version of "Yes", otherwise it's a very archaic form of "Yes" or "Indeed" as in "Yea, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death"!
Stewart Dean points out:
But Timo walks through the valley of the shadow for us all.....so maybe he's entitled.....

Seattle to Portland on a Unicycle
I decided that I didn’t want to disappoint me, Helen, or God, so to Winlock we went.
Via Eric, who attempted this for the first time this year. Congratulations!
It concludes:
A unicyclist with two beautiful and talented daughters as a unicycle honor guard drove the crowd completely wild, and I felt like I was the king of the world as I rode triumphantly, giving high fives to my subjects.
