Julie and I are quite enjoying the TV series “Evil,” which is of the paranormal investigator genre, like “The Night Stalker” and “X-Files.” In this case, the paranormal investigators work for the Catholic Church.

We’re partway through Season 1.

Did “Night Stalker” and “X-Files” invent the genre of the paranormal investigator, or was that trope already around and established?

Today I found my reporter’s notebook for South by Southwest 2007. That was the event where Twitter hit its first tipping point. I remember cruising around in a taxi with a friend who had a 17" MacBook open on his lap, connected with a wireless modem, watching Twitter for news about parties.

The notebook has a page of notes about voicemail messages. Remember voicemail?

I’m planning my first international trip in five years. I can’t find my passport, but I did find a receipt for a fleece I bought from LL Bean in 2011.

Although I have declined to renew my Tumblr premium membership, I’m grateful to Automattic for keeping the service going.
