Finished Listening to…: The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green 📚 This book wasn’t even on my radar until I had to order it for my daughter’s summer reading assignment. It is definitely a start difference between this book and Jones Didian’s slouching towards Bethlehem that I just finished not too long ago. This book was not all happy, but it was definitely…

Let the cat and mouse game begin. I’m sure Google will not stand still for this one. Although, us users, love the idea of no ads. https://www. bleepingcomputer.com/news/soft ware/duckduckgo-browser-now-blocks-youtube-video-ads/

Finished listening to…: Slouching Towards Bethlehem: Essays by Joan Didion 📚 This was a great book of essays, albeit, not always a happy one. It was a window into times and places that existed long ago, before my time. Didion’s writing is so vivid, that I can still “see” the portrayal of her experiences even after finishing it. The narrator, Maya Hawke, had a lot to do with this, of course. I…

Arcades were great! You met up with your friends, hung out for a bit and then went next-door to a movie. Then, after the movie, you went back to the arcade to hang out for a little more while you waited for your parents to pick you up. # Arcades # Games https://www. bgr.com/2198770/80s-arcade-com eback-gen-z/

My Minimalist Writing Setup: https:// dougmejia.com/2026/05/04/my-mi nimalist-writing-setup.html I wanted a minimal, distraction-free writing setup. While the BYOK system offers a cool dedicated screen, I realized my iPhone paired with iA Writer and my HexGear keyboard works perfectly. At $200, the BYOK is just too expensive for me to justify when I already have a great workflow.

Giving My Blog a Voice: https:// dougmejia.com/2026/05/01/givin g-my-blog-a-voice.html I’ve started adding audio versions of my latest blog posts using ElevenLabs, since the built-in screen readers I rely on still sound robotic. The voices are fantastic, but the cost adds up fast, so for now only recent posts get the audio treatment.

Finished Listening to…: How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius by Donald J. Robertson 📚 The audiobook, “How to Think Like a Roman Emperor” by Donald Robertson was narrated by the author himself, which is usually not my preference. However, Robertson did a fantastic job bringing the book’s message and tone to life. He spoke in a slow, clear voice with what I…

definitely on board with this line of thinking… “A decision requires: o A specific action. o A person responsible. o A deadline.” https:// huntergatherer21c.com/2026/04/ 21/a-decision-is-not-a.html

Finished Reading or Listening to…: Apple The First 50 Years by David Pogue 📚 I really enjoyed this audiobook. David Pogue did a phenomenal job reading it himself. I especially enjoyed the actual audio clips he inserted of historical talks or Mac sound effects. There is also an easter egg in there 😉. I also purchased the hardcover version, so I can see the color pictures of things he talked…

Slowing Down, One Keystroke at a Time: https:// dougmejia.com/2026/04/09/slowi ng-down-one-keystroke-at.html A documentary led me to buy a pink 1958 Smith-Corona Super on eBay, and now I own three typewriters. I use them for journaling, sparking creativity at home, and reminding myself to slow down.
