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!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

Edit: Answers: only the second one and the last one are from Star Wars. The rest are NPR

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

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.

I'm Calico Morrison, and coming up next on The Delicious Dish, Pete Schweddy returns once again to give us a look at the methods his family has used to raise each pig that goes into a succulent Schweddy Wiener. So stay tuned and open your ears for Schweddy hogs, here on NPR.
