<summary type="html"><![CDATA[I drafted a new article about DuckDuckGo's reliance on Bing. Shortly after drafting, and before editing, I read that TechCrunch had been blacklisted/de-indexed by Bing. I suppose the timing was good for the article but it created more work for me. (Obligatory note that NLJ is de-indexed by Bing, and as a result, invisible to DuckDuckGo.)

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Welcome to the 146th edition of The Newsletter Leaf Journal, the official writing magazine of the perennially virid online writing magazine, The New Leaf Journal. This newsletter comes to you as always from the waterproof keyboard of the editor of The New Leaf Journal, Nicholas A. Ferrell. While it was not a busy week at The New Leaf Journal, I easily surpassed our publishing output of no articles last week. Thus, you can expect a more traditional newsletter below with our most recent articles, links from around the web, and some surprising news and notes.
Leaves from the week that was
I published two regular articles and three leaflets/leaf buds in the previous week. First, I present the articles.

Thus, with no NEW articles to share, I resorted to sharing more links from our archives than usual and 18 links from around the web. I thought the selection was solid.

This newsletter comes to you as always from the waterproof keyboard of the editor of The New Leaf Journal, Nicholas A. Ferrell.
This will be an unusual newsletter since I did not actually publish any articles this week. I was busy with work and plagued by sinus issues. I do have an article in the pipeline, but I have not gotten around to publishing it yet. (Next week will likely be on the quiet side as well, albeit busy compared to a week of no publishing.) But we need not let the lack of publishing at The New Leaf Journal hinder its newsletter cousin...

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Welcome to the 144th edition of The Newsletter Leaf Journal, the official newsletter of the perennially virid online writing magazine, The New Leaf Journal, with content too amazing for Bing and DuckDuckGo. This newsletter comes to you as always from the waterproof keyboard of the editor of The New Leaf Journal, Nicholas A. Ferrell. I published a decent number of regular articles this week (not too many short posts, however), and we will review those below in conjunction with links from around the web and other news and notes.
Leaves from the week that was
I published five normal articles.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[For whatever reason, my computer won't suspend or hibernate. I have generally assumed it has to do with using DisplayPort for my primary monitor and HDMI for my secondary... but never quite figured it out. It is not a big deal since I turn my computer off when I am not using it anyway. Instead of continuing to dig into the weeds... I decided to install Xscreensaver and enable almost all of the screensavers. Left my computer for about 20 minutes and returned to Pacman on my primary monitor and a dancing wireframe box on my secondary monitor. Highly recommended.
<summary type="html"><![CDATA[What does it mean from an American perspective to have been "born overseas"? I thought about this when I saw ESPN describe NBA Hall of Famer Tim Duncan as having been born overseas. Duncan was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands. While this is indeed over a sea, the U.S. Virgin Islands is an unincorporated territory of the United States. All persons born there are citizens from birth by operation of statute, and it is within the judicial jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. After reflecting on the issue, I concluded, for reasons stated in my article, that Duncan should not be described (from a U.S. perspective) as having been born "overseas."

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[The star ratings that we dole out for Preview Guide aren't indicative of a show's overall quality, of course; we've only got one or two episodes to go on, after all. Instead, they indicate how good of a job a first episode does at convincing viewers to keep on watching in the coming weeks.

<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Before watching episode 2, I review the animation in episode 1 of The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, one of the new anime series of the summer season. I was inspired to write the piece when I saw some dramatically different takes on the animation, ranging from crediting the first 3 minutes for having more frames than entire episodes of other shows to describing those same 3 minutes as being a crime against humanity. On the whole, I offer some qualified praise for the style and attention to detail while also highlighting technical issues (inconsistent 3D assets, bad shadows, glitches) that are a bit concerning going forward.
