About five years ago, I took my kids to a petting zoo with baby animals. I was so struck by how cute baby goats were. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made fundamentally wrong choices in my life because I didn't have more time with baby goats.

This is my current daydream to own goats (because that's probably the best way to get consistent access to baby goats). I was specifically looking at the breed of Nigerian dwarf goats. There would be cheesemaking, vegetation clearing, and current dreams also include an apiary.

Ahhhh.... goats.

in all fairness, at that point, he has usually written quite a bit. ;)

Totally, I too am not in a pro vfx type person. But I have been slowly learning Da Vinci Resolve (which is really nice). I'm just a real fan of Serif, which as been producing solid apps for a reasonable price.

What strikes me with the performance is the potential to use the engine for a motion graphics app. Think somewhere in-between After Effects and Apple Motion. This might be wishful thinking, but I would love to see it and would purchase it in a second.

say experts who are flightless and honestly a little jealous ;)

Except the NYT and Wapo have a much better history of correcting mistakes. Comparing Daily Mail and NY Post to other serious news organizations is really an apple to oranges comparison.

Throughout the pandemic I have re-read Anathem several times. The thought of a cloistered community in pursuit of knowledge (mathic society) ends up being my happy place.

The last interaction/version of Bloglines was really quite good, but at that point the user base has switched to Reader.

The real missed opportunity for Google was expanding reader's social/collaboration features into a more robust social network.It would have saved them from trying to ham fist Google+ for everyone. It could have been a home for Wave and Buzz type of tech. Instead they threw out the baby, be damn the bathwater.

That being said, I have a found NewsBlur a great replacement.

I believe pain is relative and she is obviously under a lot of stress. I have decided that I am not in a position to judge what others are going through. I hope others would extend me the same courtesy.

Antidotally, I was a fan of Fitbit's focused model and owned several of their middle range devices. I ended up buying an Apple Watch for two reasons (one in FitBit's control and the other not).

1. Connectivity with my iPhone was spotty. I mostly blame the iOS ecosystem for this; long-running apps will sometimes lose connectivity to BLE devices. This would happen even when they are in the background, probably how apps are suspended and resumed.

2. Band quality, at the one year mark they the band would start to fall apart. Fitbit support, for their part, was always easy to get a replacement (usually free). But after the 3rd time, I kinda of felt that I shouldn't have to deal with that every year.

So when Apple announced the waterproof Series 2, it was right around the time my Fitbit was falling apart again. The Apple Watch (expensively) solved my two issue.

I'm not sure that being adult excludes me from having fun with the single most used device I own. I occasionally send Animoji to my family to say something whimsical.

Don't subscribe from their website, but from their app. You can cancel on your phone without having to call them.

To someone not familiar with the internals of V8 and its roadmap, this seems like a sound (albeit unfortunately timed) decision.

I don't think wanting to work on open technologies and other political activities is a binary position.

Open software is built by groups of people and one part of building a community it deciding what sort of people you want to work with.
