    Sheldon Cooper Hot Drop

    A [just recovered, thought-to-be-lost!] conversation with DomanarK from Clueless Space Nerds – one of the most entertaining Eve Online podcasts around. We knew he was an authority on the game; turns out he’s one on life, too.

    The Radical Minutia

    (EDIT: Audio has truly been fixed now... Sorry about that.) On Saturday, September 4th, I scheduled a Twitter Space entitled "How to Explain iOS 15 to Your Mom" a few hours in advance, not necessarily expecting any speakers or guests to show up, but an old friend and two new ones did! They indulged me for a near-2 hour conversation about a whole lot and I really appreciate it. Guests @uploadspeed @ArsonAtDennys @AlisonBuki

    Brad Varol, Father of Whyp

    My conversation with Bradley Varol - a London-based developer who loves Hardstyle, drives an imported Toyota Chaser, and has bigger aspirations for his two-month-old audio sharing service than Vocaroo, Clyp, and Instaudio, combined. Support Whyp via Ko-fi. WHYP.IT The Whyp Press Kit Discord Twitter Facebook We talked a lot about the future, but I think it'd be worth my time to thoroughly analyze Whyp's usefulness in the present, which you'll see soon on both Extratone and The Psalms. If you want to really go deep, you can follow and comment on its Issue in The Psalms' GitHub Repository. Once again, any thoughts of yours even remotely adjacent to the subject would make my day - do reach out!

    Digital Academia Whacked

    I have returned to school! ...and commented on The Social Dilemma, bought a desktop, broke Windows, installed WordPress, used a Kindle (ew,) started a Digital Magazine Collection, browsed the web using Microsoft products, and read a wonderful book about the history of word processing.

    Microsoft Designed Its New Surface Laptop 2 Specifically for Me

    After living and working with Microsoft's Surface Laptop 2 since its release, I've realized (intellectually) that it's more suited to my personal use than any other machine I've ever used, but my emotional brain has remained just far enough behind to stay out of the way of saying something useful.  Spare yourself and just read my full written review instead.  Resources/Further Reading The Vergecast on the release of the original Surface Laptop, last year. "There's not a whole huge gap between an iPad Pro and the new Surface Laptop running Windows 10 S." (Windows 10 S is an entirely different issue that we can thankfully leave in the past.) "The best computer is one you hate a little" - The Outline (I must find Windows 10's ignorance almost as charming as I found Windows XP's thoughtfulness.) "Microsoft offers up Windows 10 1809 to nervy seekers" - ComputerWorld  "Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 review: If it ain't broke" - by Dan Seifert for The Verge +Their review of the first model. "Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is the best laptop of 2018" - Mashable +Microsoft's website page for the Surface Laptop 2 includes a quote from this review front and center. "Spec-Down: Apple MacBook Air vs. Microsoft Surface Laptop 2" - PCMag "The 2018 MacBook Air is good, but not great" - Mashable  "Microsoft Surface Review" - by Joshua Topolsky for The Verge back in October 2012. "Microsoft's Surface Laptop feels beautiful" - The Verge "The popularity of Microsoft’s Surface is the least realistic thing on TV" - The Outline "With the Surface, Microsoft just started writing its next chapter" - by Joshua Topolsky for The Verge  "What OEMs desperately need to learn from Microsoft's Surface" - ZDNet

    Siri Shortcuts Are iOS 12's Most Profound Addition

    Though iOS 12 has technically been in consumers’ hands for half a year, its greatest implications seem to have gone relatively unnoticed.

    Revelations of Network Withdrawals

    A month without reliable home internet was less sabbaticle, more mild psychological self-torture, but at least I can vouch for Opera Turbo, Telegram X, and mobile.twitter.com.

    Recovering the Magic in Computers

    What is "real" authority in technology? What happens when a hardcore Magic Realist spends every possible minute of his life browsing the Internet? How can our old terms possibly pertain to anything effectively in the now when most of them were formed pre-2011? These conversations were long overdue, and I'm delighted to bring them back. Thank you for accommodating me! I look forward to hearing from you.
