I want to know what’s going on, but getting caught up at eleven pm feels like I have already missed the excitement. Folks used to watch the six o’clock news and that was all they got for the day. Maybe thirty minutes of news and updates is all I need in a day.
I am so far behind on news, RSS, articles and social media.
The good thing is that I’ve cranked out a lot of great stuff in my day job. Attended a lot of meetings that have taken up a fair bit of time as well.
I might just cut my losses and mark everything as read.
Wow! This post hits home because nobody is going to read this.
I initially saved this link to Apple Notes and thought that is a great blog post just for it to sit there to be deleted next weekend when I go through and clean up my inbox.
Not anymore! It’s going on my blog for nobody to read.
This is a great list! I feel like I could have written it about how I am introverted and struggle to have conversations with strangers. I do not meet many new people as I mainly only go to work and home, but the dislike of small talk is my main thing.
I do not want a new Pebble watch, but I really hope that it pushes Apple to open up to more customizable watch faces on the Apple Watch.
If your song has a ticking clock, it’s an instant skip for me. Few sounds are as annoying, maybe only rivaled by the overdone gun cocking sound effect. Why do artists do this to us?
Who are some tech bloggers I can follow on micro.blog?
I remember opening this Arc Release Notes up with all kinds of excitement to see what the team had come up with since the week before. It’s sad that this project is pretty much dead now because I love the #Arc browser.
The dream of interplanetary travel just got a little closer to reality. General Atomics (GA) recently achieved a major milestone by successfully testing nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) reactor fuel at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. As someone fascinated by space exploration, I can’t help but see this as a giant leap toward making Mars exploration a reality.
So, what’s the big deal about NTP? Unlike traditional chemical rockets, nuclear thermal propulsion uses nuclear fission to heat a propellant, like liquid hydrogen.
For me, X has long been a way to stay connected with the sports community during games. But lately, I’ve grown increasingly uncomfortable using the platform. Between Elon Musk’s recent Nazi references and the platform’s shift toward extreme right-wing content, X no longer feels like a space I want to engage with.
This is why I fully support Reddit sports communities banning X links. It’s time to prioritize alternative sources that provide real-time updates and community interaction without the baggage.
Netflix is kicking off the year with yet another price increase, as revealed in its Q4 2024 earnings report.
Netflix’s reasoning? More investment in exclusive content and features. But with competition fiercer than ever, it’s worth asking how much more subscribers are willing to pay for their binge-worthy fix.
Price increases per month Ad-supported: $6.99 to $7.99 Standard ad-free: $15.49 to $17.99 Premium: $22.99 to $24.99 Along with the price hike, Netflix announced that it’s rolling out a new Extra Member with Ads plan, which will allow those on the ad-supported plan to add someone outside their household to their subscription.
As someone who juggles a busy lifestyle—balancing family, work, and creative pursuits—cold and flu season often feels like a personal nemesis. But leave it to innovation to catch my attention.
Enter Progresso Soup Drops: “soup you can suck on.”
Yes, you read that right. Progresso has turned one of our favorite comfort foods into a convenient lozenge-like form. It’s a clever fusion of two things we lean on when we’re under the weather: the hearty nourishment of soup and the throat-soothing properties of drops.
If they eventually get these things to sort and do laundry then I might be interested. I quit using mine because my kids kept leaving paper towels and tissues in the floor, so this would actually be really helpful!
The arm rises from the middle of Roborock’s latest flagship bot — the Saros Z70 — and can extend out to pick up items such as socks and tissues while cleaning your floors.
