Michael, Michael and Andy start of this show with a story of a smart interconnected kitchen that feels both old and new at the same time. After exploring smart stoves, dishwashers and fridges, the team turns to several stories of discovery.
Adrian Schönig’s Longplay 2.0 takes center stage with it’s whole album focus. Rediscovering music in context of an album, instead of individual songs, spurs a quick sidebar to Audio Technica’s Sound Burger (see notes below). Then resurfacing important content, such as buried gift cards in your email bubbles up via Yahoo Mail.
In metaverse news, a job posting from Second Life is taken to mean that there is a second life for Second Life. And then, breaking news from Meta: legs!
Next up: several stories about messaging, including threats to iMessage in the UK and several alternatives.
