While it’s only ever been a glorified operator of lights, timers and playing streaming music, I do have to say the original black tube Amazon Echo I got in 2016 still holds up well in terms of audio quality for purpose it serves—really shows how good the tech was in 2016.

Been in UX/usability/tech/web for 20+ years, and nothing makes me feel more like a newb tech dummy than when I try to figure out my way around Mastodon.

I remember joining twitter in 2009, there were still a couple direct alternatives and you had to worry about cross-posting to all of them.

I seem to have lost my airpods pro—if I were to get a new set of buds, other than airpods, what should I get? Would need to be buds, not tight seal, with noise canceling.

Re: Ahsoka, I liked the vibe and aesthetic, and am cool with the plot, but just felt something was off on the pacing/editing of the first two episodes. Seemed uneven, with scenes that had odd or slow pacing and dialog that didn't flow.

My kid didn’t understand my giddiness when we’re watching one of their animated shows (Dragon Prince) and i see a beat for beat reference to Twin Peaks red room. Very random but was oddly appropriate.

There is just no joy in Ashoka. Everyone is self serious and dour. Andor wasn’t swashbuckling, but you didn’t get the impression everyone was clinically depressed.

I'm only now realizing that some posts I thought just contained a picture are actually links to articles.

Kind of funny that at this point in time it's "a table of the save icon" and not "a table of a floppy disk"

My kid is dressing up as a shark this year for Halloween. I told them I’ll give them extra candy anytime they knock and say “candy-gram” instead of trick or treat. #iyknk

And now, not just any far right nut-job, but an unequivocal Christian Nationalist as House Speaker. #ChristianNationalism

Up until a year ago I noticed 1-2 bot followers a year. Now I get at least one a day.

We, generally/historically, have been apathetic to elections outside of president, ignoring congress, state legislature, city council, school boards, etc. But that apathy has allowed Christian Nationalists' "local" strategy to work. Start with smallest community and aggregate up.

On this day, I’m thankful for one of the funniest scenes in TV history. As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Is “miscommunicating” not a word?? It’s in dictionaries, but all my apps say it’s a misspelling.

Too bad you only covered Sugar Bowl for about 10 minutes, compared to 90 minutes for the Rose Bowl.

When is cancer not "out of the blue"?

This isn't just better if you don't like the vibe - it's just more effective: the iPad enables all this stuff—brings it to life, not that this stuff is smashed in and obsolete. Reversing feels much more "bicycle for the mind" vibe.
