Today is Day 1 of Google I/O 2019 and I managed to watch most of the opening keynote via live stream. I’ve created a wiki page to capture information from the conference this year. The biggest news from the keynote were hardware related.
One is the consolidation of Google Home and Nest, the Nest brand remains. With this consolidation is a new video hub, the Nest Hub Max.
The other big news was the announcement of two new, power priced phones, the Pixel 3a and 3a XL. While not unexpected, still interesting timing given that Google announced the Pixel 3/3XL last October.
I wonder if Jesus would think the ends justify the means?
I wonder why Chrome OS updates take longer to appear on Google devices than on other devices? The Google devices in the update matrix are eve and nocturne.
Feels like sunshine because it is sunshine.
Got the patio furniture out to relax on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Scripts that allow streaming audio between two Linux machines, for example, a laptop and a Raspberry Pi.
I find this to be a half truth about the founding of the United States, agrarian (Jefferson) and industrialization (Hamilton) were conflicting world views. The other part of our history is that white male supremacy, in the form of colonialism and slavery, were part of the foundation of the United States.
Game of Thrones: The Battle of Winterfell was an all-time great episode - CNET
I watched and enjoyed The Battle of Winterfell but admit that I was frustrated by it being so dark. Aren’t Sansa and Tyrion still married? Seems to me GoT doesn’t have divorce, just death till us part and they are both alive.
Cubs are threatening to score double digit runs again having 7 runs through 5 innings in Arizona.
Winter is coming…..
Annual NFL draft brings with it the annual amusement watching Lion fan and reporters whine about their team’s draft pick.
I think it crazy that the NFL draft is on ABC, says a lot about what the major TV networks have become.
If you are interested in playing with wiki without committing to your own server, Eric Dobbs provides a few options.
How can one follow Jesus and not have empathy?
The videos on this site look interesting and worth watching.
I have enjoyed my extended birthday and Easter vacation, although I prefer today’s weather over what we had last Thursday through Saturday. Today I enjoyed Mother Earths warm sunshine, blue skies, and flowering trees.
Abraham Lincoln on the Kansas-Nebraska Act:
“I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world—enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites—causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty—criticizing the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.” from “These Truths: A History of the United States” by Jill Lepore a.co/48N8IUe
Berries be gone. Nice enough to sit out on the patio for the first time in 2019.
