A prop for my phone? Why?

Feeling that none listen to what you have to say? Afraid that your wants and needs remain unnoticed by those around you? From now on, just go on some of the better social media sites mixed in with some online shopping. There. Feeing any better?

That’s right. Those cookies you ignored have been harvested. If you still “see” online advertising that isn’t targeted, let me know (the secret); I feel that certain retailers (that means you, Amazon) know far too much. The only thing missing from their oh, so refined, algorithm is how to know that I’ve already bought a particular item. And I’m sure they’re working on that inefficiency right now.

Avoided the great outdoors, again today. Freezing rain imminent… Just that line in the forecast keeps me safe and off the roads. Now that we’re past the solstice, my personal want for summer to return has returned. I don’t plan to take up skiing, and my skates pinch. Might as well move on and get to a season with better comfort.

Another plane with a full load of passengers has disappeared in Malaysia. Enough to feed the “alien abduction” papers for a while. Seriously, when technology allows us to track wandering wildlife, why can’t we extend the boon to the airlines. Ask anyone. Would they ante up a buck or two in their next ticket to add “finding us when we get lost” boxes under one of the crowded seats? Safe bet that they will.

Looking at an idea for propping your smartphone up, using a piece of wood. No mention of what you should do with your hands, should you decide to use such a stand.
