Its time to talk about the next weekend project and this time I'm talking all about notes apps. Actually, I'm talking about my favorite notes app called Joplin. I lay out why I love Joplin and why I switched to it from Google Keep.

For some reason this was pulled down from Medium... The link is the Internet Archive version of the page.

After much internal debate I pulled the trigger on a mobile device for my increasing travel. This is the normal process for me:

This time there's a third step in which I actually bought a device! For people on a tight budget spending any money is covered in several layers of guilt. It was incredibly important to me to get a device that covered 90% of my usecase which is why I chose this device for mobile gaming, media, podcasts and more...

The Xiomi Redmi Note 7.

Week off after traveling for my 9-5 but right back to the deep news and today is all about Walmart and their new A.I. store. This video is all about context and how having cashiers who understand human context.

I'm not much of a fan of the Amazon Go cashier-less store but this new concept from Walmart sounds much better. Human to human interaction is what makes or breaks businesses. If you don't trust your people and want to replace them with machines, the problem isn't with your employees... Its management.

Its time to check in with the last weekend project and I've got to admit... I'm a serious overpacker when it come to travel. I do have a couple recommendations and a look forward to our next weekend project.

Miami Vice Podcast

Back in 1984, Miami Vice changed the TV landscape not only for the decade, but for generations of police drama’s since. Miami Vice’s cultural impact on TV was not only with police drama’s, but bringing in the best of popular music with each and every episode. Go With the Heat is a serial podcast going an episode at a time and digging into the cultural phenomenon that is Miami Vice from the perspective of hosts who have never seen an episode prior to starting this podcast.

The browser wars are back! Firefox rescued the internet from the Internet Explorer takeover in the early aughts. Now its time for it to return and fight the new browswer... Chromium. With everyone making a Bling/V8 browser, from Brave to Edge and Opera, its time you take a look at Firefox again.

Its a good thing Firefox is also the best browser on the planet right now. In today's episode I share my love for the feisty browser, its test pilot projects and a fork or two.

With the release of Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo, the whole internet is celebrating... Okay, that's probably an overstatement. But this is a good day for computing in general. Considering the competition I give an ode to Ubuntu 19.04 and the freedom it brings.

I have been sick all week and it was best that I didn't subject you to my nasally voice. But there was so much tech stuff happening this week, particularly around my favorite tech thing... Linux! Between a Linux Tech Tip video for gaming, Lutris with a new release and even baking the Nvidia proprietary driver right into the Ubuntu 19.04 installer this was a big week for Linux and gaming.

I take this opportunity to go deeper on what I think the Linux desktop is great at and how it can weave its way further into the PC's and desks for gamers and more.

Since the Google Stadia announcement, Google has been ripped for its lack of long-term support for its products. Its clear for me that its not if a product dies but if its data is portable. How easy is it to move to a new service? This isn't exclusive to Google, but the myriad of cloud hosted service providers that try to lock you in. 

The question is... Do you own your stack?

Yesterday's silliness about getting Taco Bell delivered during a fire alarm was fun but today is a serious topic. In this episode of the DC Talks Daily podcast I give my opinion about DNA services working with the FBI and the possible implications.

This is my opinion, however it doesn't mean I think I'm right. Based on the information I know this is my stance as of today. I'm willing to keep an open mind, join me in the conversation?
