Thanks to vacation, start of school, and a bunch of other stuff, it took me longer than I'd hoped, and I ended up shooting past my initial estimated word count, but the first draft of the next book is...done. The words, there they are! Next up, the far harder task of making them the right ones.

I was interested to notice that iPad only got mentioned a few times during the iPhone Duo announcement. Despite the Duo's internal size, the company is just positioning it as a big iPhone.

so just, like, having a normal amount of stuff
Minimalism might be too boring, and maximalism can be overwhelming.
For those looking to combine the functionality of the former with the joyfulness of the latter, there’s a sweet spot: midimalism.

Midimalism is the latest home design trend
A midimalist home is a “a happy-medium interior design approach,” with plenty of personal touches but not so many that the space becomes chaotic.

Ah, yes, very clearly the weapon used by every fascistic police force in dystopian science fiction. Great to see they’re leaning into it.

Like someone still has to be out there creating the knowledge the AI is going to chop up and regurgitate later on. I truly do understand that the technology can be powerful and transformative but it has to have something to transform. The research can’t all be just on improving the regurgitation.

I understand that funding bodies want to go all in on AI as the shiny new innovation thing. But if all the grants start going to AI at the expense of everything else then the research sector is going to end up looking like a farm with dozens of threshers hacking away in a field with no wheat.
