The EULA so many of us click through without ever bothering to read is ripe for parody and mockery.

I’m completely incompetent with tools but I love watching craftsmen create things out of raw materials. This video is a bit long but worth the watch.

This seems like it might be a primer or definitions for kids but even adults can learn a lot from this site.

Typically interesting conversation with Letterman. I doubt he’s coming back and it’s good to hear. After all the stress of his time on TV, he seems happy with his life now.

TekRevue: We generally want our Macs to sleep when not in use: saving battery life, reducing energy usage, and increasing the longevity of our Mac’s components. But sometimes we intentionally don’t want our Macs to sleep, such as when preparing … Continued

I love old cameras and have a small collection of them. I never shot on film so I am completely unfamiliar with any of the cameras shown but the styling and design of these vintage cameras is fantastic. If you are a camera gear lover, this is a place you have to visit. Watching the video, I learned that, in Japan “Mint Condition” means they’ve never been used. So you could get some incredible cameras at this fair.

The mythology of Steve Jobs means that many people think that everything he touched was gold and that he could do no wrong. Even Jobs didn’t believe that and said often that he got great ideas from others. This is one example.

The macOS Dock seems pretty simple but there’s a lot of under the hood power in it. This is a good description of all the things you can do with it.

The process and history of how and why movies look the way they do today is fascinating.

I don’t use Adobe Lightroom for iOS often (I prefer to edit on my iMac) but I have used it to demo the power of the app and the iPad to others. There’s a lot of capability in the free app and, when coupled with a Creative Cloud subscription, it becomes a surprisingly full-featured iOS editing app.

I’m a casual fan and I enjoyed the stages in the latest Daytona 500 but I’m not such a diehard I really care one way or the other.

One of the great/awful things about living in a city is the cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells.

Those of who (attempt to) cook know the struggle of, “What can I make with what I have?” This clever web site can solve that problem for you. It’s also a good argument for having staples on hand. If your fridge only has beer, yogurt, and an apple in it, this site won’t be of much help.

Some of these shots are amazing if only for the timing of the shots. Settle in – there are 17 pages of images.

The video is straight up car porn. The funniest part is the small print at the bottom, telling you the “fuel economy” of the car.

That last line is the “rock and a hard place” of Apple’s position. They need cobalt. The majority of cobalt is in the Congo. The Congo uses child labor. That labor may be the only work the people of the region can get.

This is completely understandable and yet, still freaky.

This is really cool tech but a whole lot of creepy.

Cute ads.

Interesting discussion of different kinds of engines but the most important line is: “In the end, time is the enemy of the privileged few. Cost is the enemy of the masses.”

I remember when The Players’ Tribune was first published and the traditional sports media mocked it unmercifully. It has become a great place to read stories directly from the players.

I’m not a fan of these devices (mostly because I’m an incompetent boob when it comes to tools and installing stuff) but this is important because if you do this wrong or buy an inferior product, you could have serious issues. Wirecutter says there are only two models that meet their standards.

This is an incredible data visualization. You can click on individual countries to see their incoming/outgoing traffic (Canada’s is unsurprisingly small) or zoom in to see individual details.

This is a great deal for those who qualify for it.

I got 25/25. “You must be an English scholar because only 4% of Americans can get a perfect score on this test.”

I love these weird investigative stories from Wired.

As a motorcyclist, that “17.5 million hours” number terrifies me. I understand this particular genie has been let out of the bottle but I’m constitutionally against anything that decreases the amount of time the driver spends focused on driving and looking at and through the “dumb glass” of his windshield and rearview mirrors.

I had no idea bluefin tuna used to be considered garbage fish. I do know we are overfishing at an unsustainable level.

I’ve been a huge Hitchcock every since I found out one of my relatives worked with him in the 1950s. As the article points out, we think of him as a director of suspense films but his visual artistry and manipulation of your emotions through images was incredible.

Hockey isn’t the only thing we Canadians do on ice. We can bust a move, too.
