K, ru an abbrevi8or? Or, do you tend to write text messages in complete sentences? Nine times out of ten, I fall into category 2. Occasionally, I’ll send a ‘K’ response, type a ‘U’ instead of “you,” and, if I use voice text, who knows how it will turn out. A study published in the Nov. 14 Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 99.3% of texters use abbreviations that they believe save time. Yet, recent studies by David Fang, Sam Maglio and Yiran Zhang report that abbreviation use in commun...

I’ve been stuck in a “traditions” mindset lately. Last Wednesday, I couldn’t stop thinking about new year rituals. When the Huskers played in a Dec. 31 or Jan. 1 bowl game, Dad would place a 33LP on the record player and watch the needle land on a groove. The record: recordings from the University of Nebraska Marching Band. First song up: The Band Song. If you’ve ever followed the band to Memorial Stadium, you’ve probably heard it. It was one of Dad’s favorites. I can still hear him singing the...

It’s funny how reading something can lead me down a rabbit hole, filled with history and memories. As I perused a daily “ideas” email from a writing group, the following question was posed: If you could design a theme park around any concept, what would it be? That simple question provoked thoughts of amusement parks in Nebraska. Kids today, more than likely, think about the mega-waterparks made popular by lazy, floating rivers and crazy slides or a Fun Plex, where video games can keep you occupied for hours. More than 50 years ago, Chaut...
