I consistently log 5+ hours. That being said, I've noticed that it isn't so much screen time that affects me as much as anything visually engaging. Youtube obviously, because moving pictures, but also Twitter, since all the threads on my feed make my brain go a little nuts, and Pinterest (don't judge), on account of the visual overload of seeing a vertically-unorganized pictures...

Probably a good idea, but I kinda prefer to "learn by accident". I want to get from A to, I don't know, K. I have no idea how to get there, but I'm going to do my best to figure it out. Along the way I almost always learn something that I could have never learned through a class, tutorial, course, whatever.

I've been waiting for a concept like this for some time. I think conventional modular homes are a brilliantly democratic solution to home ownership. The downside being that they're usually derided as being shoddy and the residents of such homes having all manner of negative stereotypes slapped on them. For that reason, I've been yearning for a modular home that's nice, but still inexpensive....

Honestly, I'm pretty confused by the product. I just showed up wanting an AI-generated prediction of my future in cookie form, the cookie being either real or virtual. Instead I got a merch site.

Finally, a tool that helps me overcome my crippling insecurity about small, short links. I tried it out, and sure enough, my links were substantially longer. Feeling confident, I decided to give the ol' dating game a try again and created a Tinder profile with a bunch of shirtless selfies and a few pictures of my newly elongated links. Didn't get any matches, but whatever, with links like...

Aww, bummer, I think I got an application error. Can't wait to try it out though! Gotta say, I love the wordplay potential here. It's an app that turns a pile of sheet(s) into a site.

I'm happy enough that someone made a design system documentation tool. The fact that it's made using my favorite framework is the icing on the cake.

Presenting this in a children's book format is risky and makes me feel strange. On the one hand I like it because it's very simple, has amazing illustrations, and it's doesn't make any crazy predictions on bitcoin's future value.On the other hand, I feel a certain unease about kids getting into bitcoin. I'd be more at ease back when most bitcoin enthusiasts where nerdy types who thought it...

But seriously, it's great for wasting 5 minutes at the office. You won't regret it. Pros: More fun than a box of Meeseeks. Cons: Aww geez Rick, I don't really like people tugging on my face like that. It kinda hurts, you know? It hurts real bad.

Basically I'm just whining because the data is a tad incomplete and everyone still thinks I live in a part of the country that doesn't exist.It's actually really slick and well put together. Pros: It's actually quite fun to play around with Cons: I live in New Mexico. My friends live in New Mexico. I don't see any cities from New Mexico. Makes it less entertaining.

In all honesty, it can turn into a real grind late in the game, but it's still amusing to see how they've taken a Pokemon seen as one of the most worthless in the franchise and make an entire game around it. They've even made it so that evolving a Magikarp into a Gyarados feels like a worthless accomplishment. Pros: I have a newfound appreciation for what I now see as the most majestic Pokemon...
