Birchtree
By Matt Birchler
I've been writing here since 2010! Back when personal blogs were all the rage. Kids, ask your parents.
Hey there, I'm Matt!
I'm a UI/UX designer at NMI and I make videos over on A Better Computer, which I think you'll love.

Uniquely American
On this Fourth of July, I found this Reddit thread fascinating: What's an incredibly american thing americans don't realize is american? Check it out, but a few standouts to me here:
- Prescription drug commercials. These are like half of the ads during some shows here in the U.S.
- Extremely long election campaigns. Presidential elections are typically all we hear about for over 12 months leading up to the actual vote.
- Cult-like followings of high school and college sports.
- Free refills at restaurants.
- Ranch, ranch, and ranch!
