How I (Cautiously) Use AI
The AI craze is overblown, but when it comes to alt-text and summaries, it’s surprisingly handy.

A screenshot of the Athena Personal Information Manager (PIM) interface on a Windows 96 desktop. The background is a teal color, and the window displays an agenda for Friday, June 28, 2019. The agenda includes sections for Calendar, Messages, and Tasks, indicating no appointments, unread messages, or active tasks for the day. The left side features icons for Contacts, White Pages, Calendar, Messages, and Tasks. The taskbar at the bottom shows the time as 8:51 PM and includes the Start menu labeled "Athena PIM."
Do you remember Windows 95? How about Windows 96?
That’s not a typo. Windows 96 promised to build on the success of Windows 95, yet it never materialized as originally intended.

It's incredibly hokey and fun and just... weird. Perfect for Sat night on a station nobody watches at a time most people aren't watching TV.
Hope you enjoyed the write-up!
Logo for Dracula’s Kung-Fu Theater. It’s a purple bat with the show’s name across 3 lines. The top line is green, the middle a darker purple, and the bottom text is yellow.
Months ago I found the most interesting thing on TV. This was fun to write! I hope you enjoy.
In a nod to Elvira, Dracula hosts a captivating mix of humor and Kung Fu, bringing a new flavor to horror hosting in Dracula’s Kung Fu Theatre.

I’ve been writing my newsletter TimeMachiner for 4-years.
It's barely sustainable. I’m asking for help to reach a small goal: 10 supporters. It's weird to ask readers to support me, but my writing must be worth more than $0 to more than 4 people.
I'd love if you gave it a read and shared my post.

Promo image of a Nintendo Switch 2. The right joy-con is detached and the console is upright as if it's in tabletop mode. The screen shows the logo for the console.
Nintendo's next console is a safe bet, has predictable upgrades, and will finally break its flip-flop curse.

Does anyone at Apple wash their hands?

While browsing Reddit, I came across this post:
"TIL Dua Lipa has been conducting incredible interviews with authors over the last year on a 70k subscribers YouTube channel."
TIL is short for "Today I Learned" and I now count myself as one of those.
