I’ve never had to contact Nintendo customer support before. Today was the first time. I hope to never have to do it again. It’s amazing that these billion dollar companies are so bad at so many things.

With the Black Friday deals and a good trade-in value on an unused Switch, I got my first ever XBox and for relatively cheap. I got the series S since I really don’t play AAA games and I’m already almost all digital on the Switch.

iOS is doing the thing where when I take off my AirPods audio just starts playing out of the iPhone speaker automatically. Only a reboot fixes it.

Performance on the Switch is so bad. I’m not talking about games. Just navigating around the system is so slow.

Arc really needs bookmarklet support for me to use it more than just casually. Hopefully they pan on adding it.

This is hilarious. Goncharov is a Martin Scorsese film starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Gene Hackman, Harvey Keitel, and Cybill Shepard that doesn’t exist. The Tumblr tag will take you down the rabbit hole.

Pretty smart to have a Team Coco SiriusXM channel. I enjoy having an episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend on when I hop in the car for a short drive and don’t feel like plugging in my phone.

Taylor Swift released the weakest statement she could. If I was one of her die-hard fans burned by the Ticketmaster fiasco, I’d be insulted.

The simple blogging engines that have come about recently are really interesting. Blot uses Dropbox to sync files as blog posts. Montaigne uses the Notes app.
