Me, in high school in the 1990s: hoping every class period would be just watching a video so I didn't have to learn anything.

Me, online in the 2020s: hoping none of these links will lead to watching a video because I want to learn something.

If my life were a novel, nobody would believe it. And also, paradoxically, it would be incredibly boring.

Do not touch or approach the glass. You pass him nothing but soft paper. No pencils or pens. No staples or paperclips in his paper. Use the sliding food carrier. If he attempts to pass you anything, do. not. accept. it. Do you understand me?

The movie, by the way, was 'Videodrome.’

It would have been worth the 59 cents, maybe.

It has some interesting echoes of the plot of ‘Superhot' (or, more accurately, ‘Superhot’ has echoes of it, since it came decades later). And Debbie Harry.

Otherwise, two “Mehs" up.

Kicking myself because last weekend I noticed a movie I've been meaning to watch was for rent for $0.59 (and FOR SALE for $1.99!) on Amazon, and I just thought, “Oh, nice," but did nothing about it.

Tonight, it's $3.59 to rent, and $14.99 to buy. 🤦‍♂️

What prompted this? I was reflecting today about how two of my favorite tech podcasts lost their women cohosts in the last two years—Windows Weekly’s Mary Jo Foley and Downstream’s Julia Alexander both took new roles that led them to leave their respective shows.

That inspired me to count up how many tech podcast I regularly listen to (13) and how many women are among the hosts (1 out of . . . 21).

Time to do better.
