We made this thing because we believe that the right story told in the right way can change someone’s life.

from The Outline About page sounds extremely corporat-y to me. Basically, it is the Buschemi “How you doing fellow kids” picture of About pages. Added bonus: a random f-bomb to show they’re really cool.

Valkyrie’s slow motion intro into the bridge fight in Thor: Ragnorak just might be my favorite slow motion intro in a movie.

Wait. Mads is in The Witcher series? I have never played the games but, that alone makes me interested in the show. I still want to watch Hannibal because of Mads.

This looks neat. From the EFF is Privacy Badger

I’ll have to check this out.

Google Maps just needed some human help from me to tell them that Jack In The Box doesn’t offer All You Can Eat options. I thought Google was better than that.

I want to blog more than I do. I want to move away from using Postach.io and host my own site. Does anyone have reccomendations for easy to setup Static blog generators on Windows? Perferably something that can be used with AWS.

Somedays you just need to make coffee (Keurig) before you can make coffee (French Press).

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.
