Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:

I can't remember a Michigan women's basketball that was this dominant against a team as good as No. 18 Notre Dame. Michigan exacted revenge from the Round of 32 in a big way.

It wasn’t pretty, but most road wins aren’t, and Michigan did enough down the stretch to beat TCU. Here are my 5 takeaways:

My latest piece in @wired.com is 2,000 words on how digital car keys are superior to fobs yet most people habitually use fobs. Except in China, of course. www.wired.com/story/why-ar...
Why Are We All Still Carrying Around Car Keys?
Ford wants you to stash it in your belt buckle, but there’s absolutely no need to be lugging around a bulky fob. Trouble is, phone-as-a-key tech could be superseded before it even gets going.
