Hello, I'm Singleton Uematsu, welcome to NPR. Prepare for a major release of applause for the architect behind a truly class-ic framework, a gem of a developer: David 'The Rails Alchemist' Heinemeier Hansson!

What do you mean "we were not talking about software programming patterns"?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You made me look it up. Uematsu isn't dead

I don't know about the rest, but Jek Porkins died for the rebellion during the battle of Yavin, everyone who's seen at least the original film should know this.

Live, from Chicago's famous Studebaker Theater, I'm Herringbone Winehouse sitting in for Peter Sagal on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. Today's guests have all been rounded up by ICE, so Bill Kurtis and I will exchange obscure yet witty barbs while a sad trumpet plays a downtempo version of the Wait Wait theme in a minor key.
