• Michigan is better than Ohio, according to yet another study
  Duh!
• Kevin Spacey Says New ‘House of Cards’ Is Among ‘Best’ Done
  

  …just you wait. Just you wait…

  No! I can’t wait!

• Christopher ‘Big Black’ Boykin Dead: ‘Rob & Big’ Star Dies
  He was hilarious on the show. It’s been years since I’ve watched anything on MTV, but “Rob & Big” was my favorite.
• How to shoot on iPhone 7
  Apple created a whole bunch of short videos with quick tips on getting the most out of the iPhone 7 camera. Something for everyone here.
• YouTube Audio Library
  Need some music for your video?
• COBOL Tutorial
  I took 2 or 3 COBOL classes in college as part of my Computer Information Systems minor. It seemed like such an old way of doing things even then, 15+ years ago. I can’t believe this is still a thing.
• COBOL Is Everywhere. Who Will Maintain It?
  Speaking of which.

  About 95 percent of ATM swipes use COBOL code… and the 58-year-old language even powers 80 percent of in-person transactions.

• Moom removed from sale—hopefully temporarily
  Damn, this sucks. I’ve been using Moom for years to restore/reset application positions. Wishing them luck!
• Trump thinks that exercising too much uses up the body’s ‘finite’ energy
  Doesn’t surprise me at this point. It’s pretty clear he lives in a world that exists only in his mind. Is there anyone alive who disregards facts and science more than this fucking bozo? Yet, somehow he convinced enough people to elect him our President.
• AliExpress.com – Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China.
  I’d heard of Alibaba, but just have come across AliExpress recently. All of the searches I’ve done on the site have come up with options much cheaper than I’ve seen anywhere else. Since items ship from China, shipping will be slow though. If you’re worried about safety, apparently protecting the consumer is really important to AliExpress, so it is safe to use.

I’m going to try something different with these link dumps. I’ll write a little about each link. Might be a sentence or it might be a paragraph.

• Dashcam Footage Shows Tesla Autopilot Predicting Surprise Crash
  This is incredible. Can’t wait to get a Model 3 next year.
• 100 Days of WTF Just Happened Today?
  I’ve had to stop my daily reading and following of so many things Trump. It was too consuming. “The disbelief is steady.”
• 100 days of Trump claims
  The lies continue well into this presidency. His supporters respond, “who cares.” How can you not care? This man is “leading” our country. If you follow him on Twitter, at least once a week it’s like listening to a 5-year-old throw a temper tantrum who didn’t get their way.
• Why Adults Can’t Squat Like Babies and Should Stop Trying To
  A lot of good data on the differences between babies and adults that contribute to how we squat.
• Programming as a Way of Thinking
  I’ve been tinkering a lot with Python on Raspberry Pis and Arduino (set of C/C++) on microcontrollers. Working with Arduino reminds me of how confusing it was to learn how to handle things like strings in my college C++ classes. Python code is fun to write, easy to understand, and forgiving in it’s structure.
• You’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you
  Really good explanation of how our brains try to protect our beliefs, even when provided evidence against those beliefs. It’s a psychological behavior called the backfire effect.

  …remember that your worldview isn’t a perfect house that was built to last forever.

  The mind can’t separate the emotional cortex from the logical one.

• Pi-hole™ 3.0 Is Here Featuring Our New FTL Engine
  This is a huge improvement to an already great piece of software.
• It looks like Amazon’s Video app is finally coming to Apple TV this summer
  I always forget about Prime Video because I have to fire up my Xbox One to access it. If a video service isn’t on Apple TV, it’s pretty much dead to me.
• Agree and Commit, Disagree and Commit
  Good life lesson here, not just for business. Share your thoughts and debate, but once a decision has been made it’s time to move on.
• Why Can’t You Use Your Phone on a Plane?
  Like we all thought, it’s bogus reasoning. They have never proven electronics cause an issue.
