*puts on old man hat* Great. I’m trying to enjoy a quick hamburger in peace, but I can’t because numbnuts in the next booth thinks he’s fucking Drake or some shit. Thanks, McDonald’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6zPbogDPgU As First We Feast points out, McDonald’s in the Netherlands recently introduced a music-making placemat called McTrax. McTrax works with a smartphone …

Why Learn A Second Language When You’ve Got An Earpiece And A Smartphone
Finally, a worthwhile and useful wearable that I totally want to use. This is some seriously Star Trek level shit right here, and these guys would have to be the biggest fuckups in the universe and beyond to not become gazillionaires based on it. They’re already off to a fine start in that department (not …

You Have Arrived At Your Destination. No Seriously, You Have Arrived. We’re Not Kidding
GPS apps are great, but when they say you’ve arrived, you can all but guarantee that you totally haven’t arrived. You’re usually in the middle of a parking lot or standing on a sidewalk kinda sorta closeish but not nearly close enough to what you’re looking for with little or no idea of what to …
Get The Dru, It’s Domino’s!
When I saw this video about Domino’s Pizza making a delivery robot, I had to wonder…did Steve’s friend Greg go to Australia? That has to be why they invented the thing. Story time. A long, long time ago, when Steve and I still lived in that building that had the big fire that night in …
How Do You Say OMG Under A Train TTYL In German?
If it wasn’t for the potential for damage to innocent vehicles and for unnecessary trauma being inflicted on folks acting like properly adjusted human beings are supposed to act in the world, I’d say to hell with these morons and their stupid phones, who cares if they die? But since both of those things are …

It’s So Nice To Be Out, Just The Two Of Us. What’s That Honey? I Was Pretending I Was Somewhere Better
As I sit here, thinking yet again that maybe I’m just getting old, it strikes me that while I know many types of people from many different age groups, I have yet to meet a single one who either finds or would admit to finding that a nice dinner out with friends or a loved …
TapTapPee
Maybe life has passed me bye. That could be. I am, after all, closer to 40 than I am to 30. But rather than slowly come to terms with my advancing age as I mutter about these damn kids today with their widgets and bobbles, I’d rather think that no matter your age, you, like …
I Don’t Know Who Let The Dogs Out, But I’ll Put Them Back In If You Turn Your Damn Music Down
Man, we sure could have used something like this to deal with the early morning techno loving guy we used to live next to.
Don’t Have Time To Mess With Telemarketers Yourself? Let A Bot Do It For You
Between the Do Not Call List and dropping our landline last year, I don’t get nearly as many chances to screw around with telemarketers as I used to. But apparently Roger Anderson does, so much so that he felt compelled to build himself a phone answering artificial intelligence bot to automate the process. Anderson, who …

As you sit down to go through this morning’s crop of newsletters, chain letters, Viagra ads and notifications from Facebook that someone you know even less has also commented on the post of someone you hardly know, take a moment to remember Ray Tomlinson, the man who made it all possible. At the time, there …
