Google is adding the Android clock as a trigger for Assistant Routines. I like the idea of the alarm triggering a routine, but I don’t have a set alarm every day and actually use a routine to set my alarm each night, so I wonder how that will work.
The Oath of Office of the President of the United States:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
At some point soon we may all need to decide what is more important, preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution of the United States or keeping our party in office.
As citizens of the United States this is our oath too, not just the oath of those whom we elect.
Ack! Just saw that the developer of TrunkNotes threw in the towel yesterday. Sigh.
One of the more interesting, to me, features of TrunkNotes is the WiFi sharing that basically turns my iPad into a server.
What an amazing picture!
News about the Black Friday sale on the Google Pixelbook has me reconsidering my plan to buy a new Chromebook.
While the Lenovo and HP Chromebooks that I have been looking at have an 8th generation Intel processor, the Pixelbook is an overall better machine and I imagine its 7th generation Intel processor will server me equally well. On the other hand, that U processor in the Lenovo is definitely better performing that the Y processor, which Apple choose for the new Macbook Air.
I had not considered the Pixelbook due to normal $999 price. The sale price is in line with the version of the Lenovo C630 I am considering. Food for thought, does anyone have advice on which one to go with?
I was on the MobileViews Podcast this past weekend, and I talked about Google’s operating systems and commented on how few new operating systems came it to market during the ten years of the podcast.. Chrome OS, first released in 2011, is the newest I’ve used, and even that can be debated because it uses a Linux Kernel.
According to my past weblog posts, WebOS may be the newest prior to Chrome OS. Android and iOS already existed for a few years.
This is why I am so intrigued by Google’s work on Fuchsia.
I decided to renew my Flickr Pro account even though I am annoyed by the doubling of the price and being forced to buy two years at a time. I have more than 7000 photos stored in Flickr and several albums that I decided are too valuable for me to lose.
I think the “Thunder Purple” color version of the OnePlus 6T looks nice.
Patrick Mahome’s success during his first NFL season may be more a story more about the sophistication of college football defenses more than anything. There was a time when NFL teams could not start rookie quarterbacks because NFL defenses were too confusing.

For the men… from Mike McHargue
There is nothing wrong with being a straight, white, and non-disabled man. But, the fact that a broad statistical majority of us minimize the suffering of others in our personal beliefs and political action is a problem.
This week I did some simple testing of Linux-based remote access software to create a virtual desktop that I can access from my computers. I’ve written an article of the experience.
A little diddy about Jack and Diane…
I could be wrong, but I don’t recall any political candidate, Democrat or Republican, campaigning on doing something to address our gun violence problem. Did you?
