This is my name in landsat.
Kinda weird to see Barnes & Noble stores re-appearing. I just noticed that they opened a location in Marina del Rey. It’s ironic that Amazon was the previous tenant in the same space.

I’m a big fan of the text-only web, especially when it comes to news, which frankly I don’t consume much of at all, but skimming headlines once a day on The Brutalist Report feels a lot calmer than most news aggregators.

I just bought the Pixel 9 Pro XL on bestbuy.com for $369 by trading in my old ass iPhone 13 Pro. Google must really want to sell phones. Bonus: since I’ll be in Portland for XOXO, I’m just going to pick it up there and skip the sales tax!
