Still trying to unlearn some things, which means my mind is in chaos.

If you're struggling out there, you're not alone. It's okay to take a break.

Got this in my inbox. Oh yeah? Tickets start around $4K EACH. $4,000. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.

No, @StubHub, I'm not this close unless "this" includes financial ruin.

Google's new AI-first approach to Search is an issue. Instead of giving you links to sources, it builds answers for you. But, this brings up a lot of questions. Let me explain:

@torontomario That is a GREAT idea. That would solve many a problem.

In the process of building a teeny-tiny home studio. I'm going to have to get really creative because it'll be IN a living room corner. Maybe this gif is the answer

Apple's turned to Google to save Siri. I spoke with @CNET's @BridgetCarey (and resident Apple expert) to find out what iPhone users want

I am a Celtics fan.
On one side I'm bummed that my team is done.
On the other side, I have one fewer stressor for now.

We got to test out the newest Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra. It's got great style (similar to many a MacBook) with a lot of power inside. Get a look at Samsung's best:

@seaarepea The M1 was great for all-around use, but once I started using the Fold 6, the iPad start it to collect dust. I'm using a fold 7 now but the lack of a stylus is driving me mad.

[iyaz @iyaz]

Things I bought that I thought I'd use, but don't:
- Ninja Grilli
- Spark Amp
- Cheap Fire tablets
- M1 iPad Pro
- Early WearOS watch (cheap)

The lesson? I've got to force myself to use these things or get rid of them. (Fire tablets are already recycled bc I couldn't stand them)
