Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Windows Phones seemed really nice from the brief time I spent messing around with one that a friend had, but man was the App Store support non-existent. It never really had a chance with that working against it.

It definitely got no love. For some reason the folks who made apps for Windows just didn't want to put in the minimal work that it would take to scale their apps to a phone screen. It was ahead of the curve in so many ways, but is largely now forgotten. I think a big part of the issue is Microsoft never really got behind the project, in any meaningful way.

To see if all that stuff flavored the blood?

I mean it probably would!

From a story in The Verge: Android phone is adding a feature that allows you to connect your phone to a TV and use it like a computer. Says it looks like Samsung's DeX. Also says that Apple is working on a similar feature.

Meanwhile, I still have a Microsoft Lumia 950 Windows Phone and a HD-500 dock, that no one ever credits with getting there first. Oh, how quickly they forget

Don't worry too much, people will ignore that Android did it soon enough and just credit Apple, even if they're last to the party. Thanks to US reporters and their Apple obsession, Apple continues to receive credit for every innovation, no matter how many people did it first.

Real history is more than just what was written down. And just because it was written down doesn't mean it's true. If the only thing you care about is documentation, you end up with an incredibly limited and myopic view of history.

That was a heck of a lot of typing to rebut one dumb post.

But if you're talking about archaeology and don't know what something is, it's immediately "of religious significance." Nothing else applies.

I read a thoughtful post on reddit about how much we don't know about history and what we do know is only due to people documenting it. Like we only know the details of one large battle because of seven people documenting it.

Sure. "By accident." Right. ;‑)

I bought Monte Cook’s Magnus Archives RPG but haven’t had the chance to really get into it. Another fantastic podcast.

Okay, looks like there are a couple other podcast fans into many of the same pod casts as me. What other podcasts would you recommend someone into Old Gods of Appalachia and Magnus Archives? I've also been listening to the Gentlemen from Hell.

If you keep talking about pirates, you're A) going to have to play <Deadly Pirate Game> with me and B) bring the rum.
