Poor Ozzie has had a significant fever (103) for the last couple of days, so I took him to an urgent care, where they tested him for Influenza and Strep, both of which were possibilities. My money was on Influenza and I was correct. He tested positive for Influenza A. He has been largely isolated in his bedroom, but I’m sure all of us are exposed.

I’m starting a course of antivirals, assuming that it might save me from getting it or, if I do get it, it won’t be that bad. I unfortunately never got around to getting the flu vaccine this year.

Surf is centered on human curation, authentic connection, and a rejection of the interruption-driven media models we’ve endured for far too long. Just as vinyl records pushed back against a generation of digitized, algorithm-driven music, Surf is a retro reimagination of our algorithm-fueled, advertising-driven information economy.

Bring it on. I don’t know if this is for me, but I really like that is exists and to Om’s point, Mike is an OG. If anyone can do this well, I bet he can.

I would have imagined that for a news topic where things are changing rapidly, a paid AI tool trying to replace Google would have more frequent updates. 12 hours is way too long for a fire.

I bought an IOT dog food dispenser, filled it with M&Ms, and made a script checks the Strava API to see if I ran a sufficient distance.

Your reminder that humans are just smart animals.
