People really think that NPR is out to track users locations to get more ad revenue from targeted ads?
I had no idea that would cross people’s minds. Maybe I’m naive and NPR is just as bad as other large corporations and I’ve been blinded by their soft spoken announcers.
I like how the people who complain about digital assisstants not doing enough assisstant type stuff also seem to be the ones who are appalled that Google built the ability to schedule appointments over the phone into the Google Assistant.
I’m at jury duty today and there is an elderly white man wondering if people show up late because there was a line at 9 am and his summons was for 8 am. Apparently, he doesnt realize it takes time to process a few hundred potential jurors.
wait, what?
So many people are cynical about the partnership between NPR and Pocketcasts. I don’t see how it can turn into a collect all the data from users partnership but, I guess since a giant for profit corporation is involved (there isn’t one) it will happen at some point.
First noticeable thing about Andoid P without interacting with anything: the clock is now on the left side of the status bar.
Android Beta program enrollment is so simple and quick. I clicked a few buttons this morning and now my Pixel 2 is updating to Android P. OTA Updates FTW!
I love the art of John Harris. The fantastic Tumblr 70s Sci-Fi Art features his work sometimes and I always enjoy seeing them pop up in my Newsblur feed.
Maynard James Keenan:
“I’m going to do what I’m going to do regardless if somebody knows about it or not.”
I think this is the right way to think about life.
I made BLTs for lunch today with turkey bacon and they were … not bad.
I feel like I’ll be going to bacon hell for that statement though.
Root beer float tine.
You can’t walk in a run two times in a row. That’s just, like, not allowed in ⚾, right?
My problem with most productivity gurus/blogs/books is that they (rightly) focus on how to get productive for your work. I don’t need that. I need to learn how to be productive in my home time.
The Moose is loose in Detroid with that 6th inning home run.
I both love and loathe that Star Wars has become so popular that ⚾ teams have Star Wars days.
The most amazing thing about ⚾ is how a pitcher can make the ⚾ curve by putting spin on the ball. The ⚾ can drop from sholder height to knee height in 60 feet. Simply amazing.
Morning ⚾ is the best ⚾
Market Capitalization is the value that investors think a company might be worth in the future, right?
I really wish action movies would stop trying to put me into the middle of the action and instead place the camera back so that I can actually, you know, see the action.
