TuneIn Might Want Some Of My Money
When last we talked about TuneIn Premium’s disappearing content, I said that when I published that post it was quite likely I was going to end my subscription. Well, I did. My final month ran out about a week ago, and yesterday I got this email from them. We really think you should give TuneIn …
I Don’t Think TuneIn Wants My Money Anymore
When they dropped audiobooks from premium a couple of years ago, I was ultimately ok with it. I wasn’t happy to see them go, but I didn’t listen to them nearly as much as I thought I might. It was nice to know they were there when I wanted them, but I mostly used the …

We Can Make What?
When Rogers Ignite changed their slogan to…this, we couldn’t figure out what it was saying. Was it we give Mike a mop? We can like Mark? We can go to Mars? We can make a month? We can make a monk? Guaca macca mole? We can make a march? We eventually settled on “We can …
How In the World Do You Shop Online For Clothes?

Virtual Fireworks
I got word about this and I can’t decide if it’s pretty neat or neat with a touch of creepy. But still, it’s mostly neat. Because we can’t have throngs of humanity smushing into parks and watching the fireworks, the government of Canada decided to put on a virtual display. On July 1, wherever you …
Even When You’re Isolated You’re Still Out In The World, Councillor Hot Mic
Update: If you don’t feel like watching or skimming five hours of meeting for 30 seconds of action, you can watch just the fun part here. So remember the olden days of a few months ago when we all had to do things like deal with people in person and we, at least the functional …

Netflix Is About To Nuke Your Account If You Haven’t Been Using It

In a very uncommon move by a subscription-based service, Netflix announced Thursday that it will begin canceling …

Nobody Likes An Hour Long Advertisement, YouTube
I went off about this long ass ads on YouTube business at least once before, but I’m going to need to do it again here because holy shit, these people just set some new standards. Thankfully I can skip ads now unlike seven years ago when that was written. If I couldn’t, this post would …
