Not on my bingo card this week: Clicks showing up in Meghan Trainor's hands on American Idol! 😄🎉

.NYC Ferry: My favorite way to get around NYC!

(Lunchbox is the best boat, FYI)

Finally got a chance to use the OSOMPrivacy USB cable with data cutoff switch. Allows you to select either data+charging or charging-only modes.

Not that I was too worried about scrapers/juice-jacking on today's Delta flight, but ... good idea for a product, regardless! 😄

My take on a David Cogen-style 'here we go again' shot 😄

The fatigue is real btw: this morning I did MCO-LGA, and after a quick afternoon at home in Brooklyn I'm about to push back for a JFK-LAX hop! 😵‍💫

Next stop: @spotify HQ to learn a few things. Stay tuned to @themrmobile's

A dude walked from Philadelphia to NYC and the resulting video is a delightful, low-stakes odyssey that I found ... oddly inspiring.

This retro-tastic wallpaper I just snagged from LiveLoop is 🤌. Makes me want to go play some old DOS games!

The Plaud Note is a credit card-sized recorder that uses ChatGPT to transcribe your memos.

It's beautiful, tiny and dead-simple to operate – but like most 'AI' products, the question is: 'couldn't this just be an app?'

Up next on @themrmobile's review desk, the Plaud Note: a tiny recorder that uses GPT-4 to convert sound files into transcripts.
