In which I eat many fast foods and hunt for Gamecube games and Pokemon cards. PR @ Google. Forever just a kid from Kansas. Bad decisions my own.

6 years ago on this day, my dad passed away, and the fragile life we lived came crashing down. I wrote this as a scared 23 year old with a frightening list of new responsibilities, trying remember a shred of goodness in the world. huffpost.com/entry/how-far-m…

While there's been a lot written about the value of the stolen items, I want to show a little bit about how beautiful this community can be, both when it saved me 10 years ago, and going through to today.

I know I'm supposed to also be hyping up our other features, but silky smooth touchscreen Balatro on a big screen for a bunch of hours on battery alone has made this worth it for me wired.com/review/lenovo-chro…

You use AI to streamline your workflow and gain knowledge. I use AI to build poorly rendered videogames for our wedding guests where my now-wife dodges advances from attractive men named henry. We are not the same. pdu850.github.io/pswedding/

Seeing a computer come back to life through ChromeOS Flex is like magic. But if you don't like magic hopefully you like saving some dollars too.
. @Google’s ChromeOS Flex is taking aim at this year’s Windows-driven PC refresh and the geopolitical uncertainties around tariffs with a cloud-based operating system that can change any existing Mac or PC into a Chrome device, extending its work life. okt.to/GCVaWd

Began rotating in a daily desk Pokemon card per day so I can sigh wistfully at it when emails don't find me well. Condition: Poor, like my inbox management.

In today's comparison nobody asked for-- the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is about the same thickness as two Pokemon PSA slabs.

The pound for pound value of the average Chromebook Plus is still staggering-- even if you ignore all the other amazing features (which you shouldn't), getting a year's worth of the Google One AI Premium plan alone ($240) on a device that can cost $350 = big brain math.

A quick scan of your local airport kiosks shows that the world could benefit from a few more Chromebooks :D
In light of today's Windows CrowdStrike debacle, the benefits of a truly cloud-based OS like ChromeOS shine a bit brighter than usual. chromeunboxed.com/the-window…

This does sort of explain why my schoolyard bullies in Kansas could never get more creative with nicknames other than "Jackie Chan" nbcnews.com/news/asian-ameri…

I grew up reading computer mags at Walden Books dreaming of fancy tech I couldn't afford. I'd scour Micro Center's ads for budget RAM to toss into a budget machine that was already slow from day I bought it. These Chromebook Plus features and models don't have that problem 🥳
