YouTube Finally Comes to Apple Vision Pro. Is This the Start of More Google Apps to Come? Google's immersive YouTube videos are viewable on Vision Pro via a new app. Maybe Google Maps will be next?

YouTube is finally coming to Vision Pro for real. Took two years! (I was on a train, so covering this as fast as I could) www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

Donโ€™t play with your notebook when people are talking to you, Bondi, sit up and listen and look them in the eye

Jury duty was a nice place where I didnโ€™t feel immersed in the horrors of the world

Review | Fantasy and sci-fi books for anyone who feels lost right now Four fascinating new books explore what we do when a collapse appears inevitable.

I wrote my final book review column for the Washington Post a while back. (I didn't know it was the last one of course.) I was worried it might not even run since the book section is ending, but thanks to the heroic efforts of editor Jacob Brogan, here it is:

Had a dream that Apple unveiled a crown-like neural headband with EEG contact points, and was developing apps and games that worked with it. Was taking rapid notes
