Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Now and then I take a quick glance at the ads that appear on some of our pages. I figure it’s nice to have a sense of what’s being shilled on our behalf, plus if there’s anything scammy looking that people might need to be warned about I’ll be able to check into it. Google’s …

I know this is old news, but the video makes me giggle every time, so I’m putting it up. So there was this whole Squid Game crypto scam where the value just went ker splatto in a matter of seconds. It was everywhere, and they were talking about how to spot the scam, whatever. I …
In a broad sense a platform dictating to news outlets how to conduct business probably isn’t the best thing, but man oh man would I ever not shed a tear if Apple News decided to put the hammer down on the way that some of its members use the important story notifications. That hammer, in …
I just downloaded six app updates for my phone. Do you know how many of them gave me a good idea of what I was getting? One, and even it was scant. I’ve been noticing a trend toward useless release notes in the last couple of years at least, and I really don’t care for …

I’m not much for Twitter anymore, but I still keep a client on my phone and my desktop for the times I do feel like playing with it, in case someone talks to me there and to keep tabs on what a few people are up to. One of those clients is TWBlue, obviously. A …
Just a couple of unrelated things I’m annoyed by right now. If I’m paying to subscribe to your website, why is it still absolutely caked in ads? Short of trying to force harmful software onto my system or hitting my very modern computer with so many things to load that it falls over and dies, …
I don’t know what my favourite part of this video is. The deconstruction of the name “Insta-Cart”, the realization of where babies come from, the delivery windows that sounded a lot like what happened when Carin and I tried to use modern Instacart for the first time last year, the terms and conditions, the fees, …
Wow, 80s Alexa has come along way since the last time we checked in on her. This Amazon thing might make a few bucks one day. I feel like I’ve said this before with these videos, but that electronic voice is hideous. Yes, I’m aware that this is intentional. It just sticks out to me …
