Let’s be honest, “Titan Noir Max” sounds less like a piece of home theater equipment and more like the star of a gritty graphic novel adaptation. You can almost picture him now: a hulking silhouette perched on a gargoyle, rain dripping from his ridiculously oversized collar, muttering about how the city is a cesspool that […]

Whenever I pass by IKEA, one of the things that always catches my eye are their minimalist lamps (well, a lot of their items are minimalist of course).

Cross-language conversations create a familiar kind of friction.
