I fully expected to read this article and absolutely hate the subject but she’s surprisingly honest and down to earth about having access to more money than the rest of us combined.

I usually hate these kinds of unrelated promotional tie-ins but this one is pretty funny.

Great little video.

I first used a TiVo when I moved to Nashville in 2002 and it was incredible. I don’t think I’ve gone without a DVR since.

Dave and I talk about my sudden change of heart regarding Apple News+ and why I’m liking the service. We also look at the new AirPods we picked up this week and delve into the Apple’s new video service.

This week Dave and I look at Apple’s new iMac, iPad and AirPod announcements, as well as a look at the company’s sports surveillance room.

My friend Sly posted this on Twitter and now I want a slow-motion version so I can really see what’s going on and try it myself.

I knew this was one of the ways Apple showed the protoype iPhones but it’s the first image I’ve seen of it.

These are great but I can’t imagine many of them would be allowed today.

The death of Do Not Track is the reason why I don’t give a damn about ad publishers and their moaning about adblockers and other efforts to thwart them. We tried being nice to you and you were jerks about it. No sympathy.

h”We burn more people than anyone else!” He said gleefully.

I avoid like the plague giving anyone my phone number or Social Security/Social Insurance number. If a company demands I include one, I’ll give them a fake number whenever possible. It doesn’t work in all situations but I try to limit it as much as I can.

The growth of the internet was unimaginable by these guys 50 years ago just like we can’t imagine what it will be like 50 years from now but it sure as hell isn’t likely to be “unequivocally wonderful, open, collaborative, trustworthy or ethical.”

I don’t think CC is “too powerful” but it is a conversation worth having. A lot of people aren’t happy with where the Creative Cloud is going and how locked in many of us are to it.

I’m less and less likely to post to Instagram, if only because of the ridiculous amount of advertising I see when I use the app. I’ve just recently re-upped my Pro membership on Flickr and will likely check out some of these other services Chartier mentions.

Even though many are “cookie cutter”, I still love the look and feel of a “true” Irish pub.

It was a big week for Apple. First they announced an event for March 25 where they are widely expected to announce a video and news service. Then they officially announced the dates for WWDC19. Lots to discuss this week!

Really interesting article based on a SXSW interview with Douglas Rushkoff.

I love most forms of car and motorcycle racing and NASCAR’s Daytona 500 is a race like no other. A bucket list item for me is to be in a race car for high-speed laps of that speedway.

The letter that leads this story is heartbreaking.

When I first saw this video, I was sure it was fake.

This is weirdly fascinating.

This might be the oddest story you read all day.

This could get ugly.

It might be a “smart TV” but any manufacturer who did this would be stupid.

This is an interesting, if admittedly first world, dilemma.

They’re kind of making her point for her.

Prosecutors charged Bill McGlashan, a founder and managing partner at TPG Growth — which has made landmark investments in companies like Uber and Airbnb — on fraud allegations for trying to engineer the admission of his son to the University of Southern California.

What is particularly damaging for TPG is that McGlashan has positioned himself as a leading voice in Silicon Valley for social responsibility. In addition to overseeing TPG’s late-stage growth investing arm, McGlashan has partnered with other conscious leaders like Bono and Laurene Powell Jobs at The Rise Fund, a TPG investing arm that tries to make the world a better place through investments in things like dairy farms in India.

I’m taking a wild stab in the dark here in saying that his partners are not too thrilled about these revelations, especially since he is “one of the tech sector’s leading proponents of how to invest ethically and for social impact.”

You know what’s involved but seeing the work that goes into creating one of these things gives a better appreciation of the effort.

I no longer do any kind of work that requires me to use these kinds of apps but it’s good to see CorelDRAW back on the Mac.
