Alright, let's have it then.

Tell me your favorite Christmas movie and if it's not Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights, then please explain why you're nuts.

n8n is wild, y'all.

I can pipe data from Glimwhisp, authenticate it through Tohstermain, route the payload via Blorpify, and archive the results in Dustyrben.

It's like Web 2.0 but with all the vowels.

I grew up on consoles. VirtuaBoy, PSOne, PS2, PS3, Xbox, all the way up to my current Series X.

However, if this thing is priced right, I'd move over in a heartbeat. So much more flexibility and freedom from Microsoft's latest pricing B.S.
Valve’s new Steam Machine, coming in early 2026, could be game over for any new Xbox hardware

God, I love the look of this 6 x 6" Steam "console"

Really hope the price is solid

My favorite part of the holidays as a marketer is all of the survey folks offering me $25 Amazon gift cards for 5 minutes of my time.

@amybrown.xyz This weekend alone, I had two different dreams that included you telling me that I need to restart my fatherhood podcast.

1) It was nice hanging out with you again.
2) Fine, freakin a.

I need for #Spotify to add a "nope, this isn't it" type "recalculate" button for my Daylist.

Sometimes it's spot on, but other times it's a complete miss.

Now we can count down until Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving. It is the last pure holiday - uncorrupted by greed, consumerism, or guilt. It exists solely for the purpose of taking a day to break bread with those you love and be thankful for the things you already have in your life.

Need some help.

I have cool t-shirts. I like to wear them in the winter, but it's cold, and I'm a 90s kid, so I wear long-sleeve t-shirts underneath.

It's hard to find good long-sleeve t-shirts for this. They need to be a bit more form-fitting, still cotton, and no sleeve cuffs. HELP!

Yes yes, I *know* this has nothing to do with smartphones, but hang with me for a second - how BADASS would a Nokia with AI and NVIDIA be? Like, GTFO.

Nvidia takes $1 billion stake in Nokia, sending the 5G equipment maker's shares up 26%
Nokia is best known for its early cell phones, but in recent years has primarily been a supplier of 5G cellular equipment to telecom providers.

Sometimes people ask why I moved from Texas to North Carolina.

There were lots of reasons, but this map is a pretty good visual explanation.

This is crazy, and kind of awesome for the community.

I was part of the team that launched Arduino boards at RadioShack - it was a big deal back then to be able to walk into a brick-and-mortar and pick one up.

Cool to see the community continuing to grow.

About 15 years ago, when I was a tech blogger, I got a free Boingo WiFi account.

It still works. Amazing.
