  • Some I’ve been listening to lately:

    • Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
    • Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
    • Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
    • Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
    • Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.




  • I’ve gotten used to holding onto my phones longer and skipping several phone releases at a time (Nexus 6 > Pixel 2 XL > Pixel 6 XL) and I don’t really feel like I can continue to do that with a foldable based on the durability questions from the main screen. The prospect of a smaller device in my pocket is the big factor in wanting one and every time a new flip device comes out I find myself doing the same research hoping there is a magic bullet that solves the screen durability or de-lamination issues.
