I saw the post title and was like “no fuckin’ way…”

Love how Arnett called attention to it too. “anyone got the balls to follow up on the mushrooms?” hahahaha

Wonder if it would serve well as the brains of a smart mirror? And if you have the inclination to make one…

I watched this a handful of days ago. It’s pretty decent, and there was certainly info in there I didn’t know. Some added context to current world events

Love how they get ahead of naysayers right up front by showing that the info being presented is known by anyone that’s been through a mainstream seminary. Then differentiating between biblical scholars and pastors.

Not to take anything away from the gravity and impact of this speech, but this happened last week; not yesterday.

Remember when just about every government employee was carrying around a BlackBerry device for official business?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Google could have simply preserved my metadata OR sent the files in “artist/album”

Which they most certainly can do. My condolences to the time you’ll never get back.

I suppose the silver lining is familiarity with a new set of tools and mechanisms for working through arduous minutia of it all. Could be a pretty neat utility if it could all be packaged up.

This right here is the fail safe that all these SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and other aaS offerings have inherently built into themselves. They make it so “easy” to get your data (as they put it) but so fucking mind-numbingly annoying to have it any kind of usable/archive-able format.

If I want to move my data from one platform to something else, it shouldn’t involve a Six Sigma certified consultant, a bag of bespoke tools, and a sacrificial offering. This isn’t a CRM migration at a multi-national conglomerate, I just want my files (you can have em!) in a usable format (they’ll work!) correctly named and structured (yeah, no…)

The average person isn’t going to go through the lengths you’ve gone through here; because they’ll try to and just go right back. I mean, the average person has a hard enough time getting affordable groceries…forget about a sacrificial blood letting.

Out of curiosity, how much time did you spend researching as you went through this process of hitting speedbump after speedbump?
