The Cracker Barrel rebrand ought to remind everyone, change and improvement are not the same. Amongst others, I hope Apple is listening.
My congregation got a preview of a new show set in Biblical times. By the look of the clips, it could be a spinoff of The Chosen. There’s just one peculiar difference that makes all the difference, for good or ill.
It wasn’t devastating news, but it wasn’t the kind of thing you want the first thing Saturday morning, either. According to the report, which I guess had been kicking around for a few days but I didn’t see it until Saturday, the Google company has plans to destroy my Google Pixel 6a cellular telephone.

Microsoft gave it a try in 1999 and failed. The same tantalizing possibility returns every few years: a single place to communicate rather than an ever-expanding cacophony of apps, each with its own quirks. Are we any closer to this hope a quarter century later?
The Humane Pin has died and HP has killed it. The burial of last year’s tech darling, DOA as its concept was from the get-go, isn’t that important in itself, but continues the troubling trend of things we buy dying unnatural deaths.
