iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In another life, I was talked into running one of these. Hated every single day of it and what pushed me into accessibility.

Danners are my next buy. I have gotten 10 each for two pairs of Dr. Marten's. 30 years for a pair Asolo's I use hiking.

Then there is the poor tax. You need steel toe work boots for your job. Quality, long wear boots cost hundreds of dollars which isn't available, so you but the $40 pair, that you need to replace 2x a year, versus the one pair over 5-10 years.

Money is time. If you have a lot of both you can figure things out. If you don’t have time, you have to spend money to make it work. Those with no time, rarely have enough savings for the emergencies. After that, it doesn’t matter.

Bluetooth opens a vector for hacking too. They can intercept the signal and send signals that trip other data to be shared.

Agree. Batman may steal tech, but never corporate espionage.

Bruce would offer him a fair deal for licensing. But if Peter disagreed, Batman would figure out how to steal it and reverse engineer it.

Wait until he finds out people tweet over high school sports.

OpenAI launches ‘dots,’ personal AI assistant ‘built to handle everything’

Can someone check my math on this? OpenAI is launching ’dots’ to compete with Muse. They’re powered by Astra. aje.news/g6lvh5 Yesterday, they said they won’t launch Astra because it is “too unstable”

AI giant launches 'dots' to rival Meta's Muse and Google's Gemini Spark.

Note: if anything bad happens at the event, Duane Davis will be questioned.

Had a local networking group reach out asking me to join. I explained why I am not a fit for their group but was honored. I got 5 spam emails by end of day. Fifteen more over the week while I explained spam laws. I don’t want to destroy a women’s professional network.

i do this too. But it is constant. Mention Kermit and I have Miss Piggy in my head. Music lyrics, movies, TV, radio hosts. The worst part, I love irony. Alanis has a presidential suite in my head. Zombie.

I have long wanted knuckle tattoos. Never quite sure what to put though. Love/Pain, cliche. a11y/life, meh. But how do I get 6 letters on 4 fingers for "oxford comma"?

You want women to pick men over the bear? Be the bear and call out other men on their lousy behavior.

Movies paint a lovely image of the art thief and their flexibility. Considering how many model the military, especially elite forces, I doubt they have the needed flexibility.

One of the nice things about my vestibular disorder is my gait is on random. "They'll never track me!"

Trying to shy away from smart phones. Found this Nokia 8110 aka Matrix phone. Runs KaiOS, dual sim, 4G.

Nat holds a Nokia 8110 phone. Also known as the Matrix phone. It’s an old school bar style phone with a screen at the top and the old T9 style keyboard on the bottom. The neat part of this phone is that keyboard has a slide out cover.

The irony is that short form media is is exactly the type of content the muppets should be doing. Sam presenting news in a kid safe way. Beaker & Dr. Bunson on the Science beat. The rest pure entertainment.
