    How do you even not have a smartphone after about 2008

    I feel like you have to try

    uh 2008 was the very begging on the smartphone race

    iphone 1 was june 2007, android G1 was september 2008

    Listen I gave everyone half a year to get the first iPhone in that example

    There's no excuse after that

    I recall the iphone requiring a heavy up front payment and having really shit contracts when it first became available

    Um yes and you got a real web browser

    What were you going to do, use a Blackberry?

    C'mon

    I just did self serve emissions testing it was wonderful

    you drive to the place, pull your car up, and plug in the odb2 plug

    wait a little bit, press some buttons and swipe your card, and then go collect your new license place stickers

    took like 5 min!

    Every job in the world is going to be automated out of existence in like 7 years huh

    Man looking at the kindles the paperwhite one looks good but I don't want to carry another device around. Can't I just buy ebooks from amazon and read them on my phone without a kindle.

    i would totally do self-service emissions testing if it were available here

    although it sure seems like we are headed in that direction, at least. last year they discontinued the inspection sticker - you used to get 2 windshield stickers for your car, one was your inspection sticker you got at the (privately run) inspection place, the other was your registration.

    now all you get is your registration. all the inspection places do is enter in to their computer system that you passed the inspection.

    Trying to perform a suicide burn landing onto the Moon, because my delta-v budget is tight

    So I had to figure out when to start it

    Automation + globalization

    Keep burrowing toward the center of the onion as society turns against the unsustainable and unneeded outer layers - blaming the working poor, the bodies of whom we no longer have use for to run the machinery of our consumption.

    I need to

    1) look at the weather for boston
    2) see if I have enough clean clothes of the required type
    3) pack a bag
    4) figure out how I'm going to get to the airport
    5) look back at prior conversations to see if I am meeting you when I get there, which I think I am

    for work I still need to
    1) write this dumb thing
    2) send it to some people for review
    3) make a little list of instructions so someone else can pick up on this project
    4) put up my out of office

    god this tremendous to do list, how could one man even
