Bose is back with wired ANC earbuds. Gimmick? Maybe, but I carry a pair of wired earbuds for editing and in case of dead battery. For $99 these might be the sleeper hit of the year

Anyone interested in running shoes? These are the new Tracksmith Eliot Ryder. They have a 45mm stack height but don’t look like it. Coming July 15

This part stuck out to me: “He had kind words to offer everyone because he had a gift for recognizing good things about everyone.” This is how I first met Om in 2013

I had forgotten the details but this is how I met Om in 2013. He sent me a message on Twitter saying he had linked to a story I wrote. He was always so kind and helpful over the years. In 2020, he told me I should start my own newsletter—which I wish I would have taken more seriously at the time.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time with the AirPods Max 2 and $399 is a legitimately great deal for them. (Starlight color only for now) amzn.to/4uT8rie

I heard @gruber.foo talking about Noir cookies and he made them sound so good that I hopped on a plane to Japan. They are great and far better than Oreos

Rear screen on an iPhone? I bought a $12 one on Aliexpress to see if it would work as well as the $80 ones. It seems to be just fine.

I thought it was cool to get a picture with Victor Glover at SXSW circa 2016. But now the picture seems 1000x cooler.

This has got to be an oversight on the Neo, right? In control center you can add a control for True Tone. Since it's not there, the button does nothing, btw

If you were considering the Gamesir Pocket Taco game controller, I would hold off for now. I've found it to be super janky with button recognition and disconnecting

I’m a sucker for wacky candy and foods so I had to try this Panda Express Orange Chicken candy bar. It’s surprisingly good. (No chicken, just rice puffs, orange, and chili flakes)

Nomad's new Track Card Pro came in. For those curious, it's about 3x thicker than a titanium Apple Card—Appe's card is still heavier

San Diego International Airport has a new program to go through security without a ticket. I’m using it right now to grab a bite to eat (and see how it works). Any questions?

Pluribus seems to be a hit. Minutes into episode 2 and the show stopped and is now unavailable across multiple devices.

I went back in my library and found some pictures of my Pebble smartwatch from 2014. 11 years later, it still feels relevant. Full review below. cc: @ericmigi.com

I think people are split on this new Aura E Ink photo frame because of some visible pixelation. Personally, I love the frame and think it’s the future. creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

These glasses with displays are missing out on Meta’s wrist control but I’m super impressed with the functionality and quality so far

Suddenly the Pebble watch that felt old a few years ago feels retro and like it could really make a comeback.

Looks like Apple Fitness is botching data. Says my fastest 10k is 26 minutes and then shows a 3.1 mile run. This is concerning. Maybe an iOS 26 bug?

Just as I feared, the iPhone Air feels really nice to hold and use

My limited use of Nintendo’s Virtual Boy was in the aisles of Toys R Us. For those 10 mins every couple of months it was great. Bringing it back in 2026? Why not.
