Does anyone even use an iPad Mini anymore! I never see them out in the wild

The weather is cooling off. I'm wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt instead of shorts. It's a Saturday night. It feels like I should have a hockey game on. But alas...a few more weeks

I know I'm biased, but I kinda wish quarterbacks weren't allowed to run the ball. I think it makes it less interesting that passing or giving it to a running back.

I've had an Innovelli Red Series dimmer since they first came out (10 years ago?) and now I FINALLY have it configured to turn the notification LED to red when the garage door is open!

I've spent a bunch of time this weekend switching from SmartThings to Home Assistant. Excluding devices and then repairing has been a LOT! HA has been powerful and reliable, but it's not the most user friendly system.

This seems like a TOTALLY safe way to charge your iPhone on a FERRY!

Hey @gavincampbell.bsky.social , @richardgunther.com and I have decided that henceforth, you shall be known as Gamble

I have Max, Peacock, Netflix, and Disney. Suggest some movies for me to watch on an airplane

I can't be the only one who was disappointed in the beginning of Forza Horizon 6 when they gave me the 911 instead of the FD, right?

I don't watch music videos very often, so maybe this isn't new, but I was shocked to see Noah Kahan's video for The Great Divide is sponsored by MasterCard. Ads have now penetrated the videos themselves!?!?

Tomorrow's forecast feels personally offensive

I'm pumped that Cyberpunk 2077 came to Game Pass, because it's 2026 and I STILL haven't played it! But I'm bummed that it's not on PC Game Pass nor is it Xbox Play Anywhere. I love bouncing between my Series X and Legion Go. I guess I'll have to stream it if I want to play on the Legion Go.

Putting MacKinnon, McDavid, and Celebrini on the same line should be illegal.

YouTube TV now has plans starting at $55/month, plus Spotify's fun new "About the Song" feature and YouTube Music's quietly controversial lyrics paywall. Listen to the latest episode of Entertainment 2.0 to get all the details. www.thedigitalmediazone.com/2026/02/12/e...

With how frequently the US Women's hockey team scores, I'm going to be hearing Free Bird in my sleep!

At this point, I'm hoping for 0 touchdowns so that at least this boring Super Bowl will be historic in some way.

What it's like to train for a half-marathon in Ohio in January. This is going to be a great long run! 😂
