May 2020

→ The Asian Giant Hornet ●

I’m not normally one to advocate for disrupting the natural order of things, but let’s wipe this Murder Hornet off the face of the earth.

May 2020

→ No Alcohol and No Coffee for 27 Months ●

Interesting observations about improvements in the author’s life. Not sure I could go this long without alcohol, let alone a single day without coffee.

May 2020

→ Apple’s $460 Billion Stock Buyback Plan ●

Apple still has about $85 billion in cash for investment, R&D, operations, and dividends/buybacks. They used to have at least $125 billion. Lots of spending, but still lots to go.

May 2020

→ Jason Snell’s Coverage of Apple’s Q2 Financial Results ●

This is the best non-financial financial analysis of Apple’s quarterly finances. (Say that 10 times fast!)

April 2020

→ How Tech Can Build ●

Great commentary concerning Andreesen’s essay titled “It’s Time to Build”. There are many big-government ideas in here, which I disagree with. But it’s a good thought experiment regardless.

April 2020

→ Behind-the-Scenes of the Ahsoka and Maul Duel in the Latest Clone Wars Episode ●

This was easily the best animated lightsaber duel of all-time. Maybe the best lightsaber duel ever, period — live action or otherwise.

April 2020

→ Building a WWII Bunker in an Office Building ●

Not sure I would go to this length to have a “deep work” area, but it’s pretty neat nonetheless.

April 2020

→ Christopher Lawley’s Review of the iPad Magic Keyboard ●

So many Magic Keyboard reviews! Lawley’s review is the one to end them all though. Makes me want that 12.9-inch iPad again.

April 2020

→ What is the iPad to You? ●

Matt Birchler’s “review” of the iPad Magic Keyboard isn’t really a review, but touches on how the Magic Keyboard highlights the iPad’s modularity.

April 2020

→ The Complete Skywalker Saga Comes to Disney Plus on May 4th ●

Personally, I think the bigger release on May 4th will be the final Clone Wars episode. The last two episodes have been insanely good.
