Anyone else read The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara & Lenin Play Chess? Just checking because I’m reading now

Thus begins the March weather where it rains for 29 days and then becomes 80 degrees

20 years from now we’ll all just be doing improv in a park

So Vision Pro runs a variant of iPadOS w an M5. MacBook Neo runs MacOS w A18. iPads use M series and A16. Phones are off to the side smoking a cigarette and watching

Pokopia Is the Glorious Return of Animal Crossing in Pokemon Form This Switch 2 exclusive might be its biggest killer app yet. I'm lost and in love with the cozy apocalypse.

It comes out today and I can already tell you it’s Animal Crossing levels of lovely www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

I’m looking for a particular glasses charger dongle that I seem to have misplaced. It has five contact points. If you see it I’m downstairs at the table

MacBook Air M2 is starting to seriously lose battery in sleep mode. Is something set up oddly

At this point, I feel like Apple has realized it can't dictate how people use its products. So why not have separate devices that cater to the people who lean Mac and those who want iPad?

Or it could. It could…or I don’t know. This has both validated my beliefs and broken them

Is the dress gold or blue

I Think Mac and iPad Will Merge. Does MacBook Neo Prove My Point or Make It Irrelevant? Commentary: I can see a future that could almost be here, and I've been waiting for. Does anyone else care, though? My wife says no, Scott, they don't.

Come sit and listen to my yearly rant on iPad and Mac converging and then wonder if I’m right…or if it matters. www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Oh cool. Next week it’ll be 78 degrees. There’s snow on the ground right now.

That one is sooooooo good

There are definitely parallels. Would be worst double feature of all time

Neo also shows that iPhones should at least do DeX-like docked modes to extend displays. (Or work with next wave glasses to do it)
