Does anyone have recommendations for comics?
The genre and/or style isn’t important. U just want to check out new stuff that I may not know about.
It is past time news organizations stop putting, slammed, eviserated, or similar words in their headlines because nothing comes out of it; just a click.
It is hyperbole for hyperbole sake and does nothing to add to the journalistic integrity of the news organization.
Yup @simonwoods has the best advice for life.
Isn’t it ironic?
Only one judge on America’s Got Talent is American.
Had to laugh at this one.
Waiting on the IT guy to hookup and connect a Verizon 4G backup router and he literally said, “Can you hear me now?”
And I just can’t anymore. It’s been a 13 hour shift and I just want to go home now.
I miss physical keyboards on mobile phones.
Today’s digital cleaning was checking on the applets I have setup on IFTTT to see if they are still setup how I actually use the services they are checking.
Everybody’s so nice and polite

Wasted Hours
In a chain of blog posts I had a pretty profound revelation about how I spend my time.
Tim Smith at Bright Pixels linking to David Sparks at Macsparky writing about block scheduling led me to look at my own calendar.
I work in a warehouse shipping electronics to customers. I don’t have the luxury of scheduling my work day like the creative people that I like to read online. There are hard deadlines for orders to ship through out the work day and I have to focus on those deadlines rather than carving time out to think about what to write about. That time that I can use is in the morning before my shift starts.
If I wake up at 9 am every day and leave for work at 1 pm every day; I will have 4 hours during the day to schedule my own stuff. That’s twenty (20) hours a week that I have available to me to work on projects, goals, tasks, whatever. Twenty hours.
Right now I spend the majority of those four hours a day sitting on the couch drinking coffee and reading RSS feeds while YouTube plays music videos on my TV. That is a waste of time. I am not using my time effectively. I am wasting my time.
What am I going to do about it? I don’t know yet. But, just realizing that I have 20 hours in the week to do what I want to do is a sudden eye opener for me. I have never stopped to think about how much time I am wasting every day.
Modern Times: Down Near the Border

This is a National Emergency?
Why It Doesn’t Seem To Matter That Amazon Will Soon Be The Largest American Clothing Retailer
How you can compare Amazon competing with Macy’s and Walmart with Mr. Porters? If you’re shopping Mr. Porters you’re not shopping Amazon. The lowest price desert boot on Mr. Porter is $500. That’s not the area Amazon is competing for.
Kashmir Hill Concludes Her Experiment in Blocking the Five Biggest Tech Companies
Apple sure does offer consumers a lot of choice: either you buy their stuff, or you don’t.
Sounds more like an ultimatum and not a choice.

The first story and the puns involved are the reason to read Dave Pell. So good.

But if they were iMessages, they couldn’t be intercepted in transit.
I’m sure someone, somewhere has figured out how to intercept end to end encrypted messages and we don’t know about it because they’re not reporting the fact that they can do it.
I finished The Lost World by Michael Crichton last night. It was a fast paced adventure once it got going. Completely different from the movie and so much better. More action, more danger, and none of the taking back dinosaurs and hunting T-rex crap. 📚
