I'm not sure about "complete", but fairly comprehensive anyway.

I know it's based on Google's engine, but I do like there browser and their perspective.

I've been enjoying using just vanilla Ubuntu, but the Gnome desktop is just too sluggish on my laptop. I'm thinking I'm going to go back to Ubuntu Mate or Ubuntu Budgie. Probably Mate.

An operating system that does this currently dominates the desktop market. Let that sink in.

I'd just like to say, big props to #DuckDuckGo for this type of answer. Very cool.

Ready for takeoff. ✈️

Hanging out at the airport waiting for my flight.

Got bored so I got Mycroft working on my ThinkPad.

I get a lot of email from "hackers" who have apparently hacked my computer and recorded me doing various things. Ignoring the fact that, uh, no you didn't, I'm not at all intimidated by the fact you have "Mike.mp4". How incriminating could this video possibly be? Really?

5*2+2=12
3*6+3=21
8*5+5=45??

2+5+5=12
3+6+12=21
5+8+21=34??

Or maybe just because some idiot throws a couple wrong answers with a pattern at you doesn't change the answer from 13?

The biggest problem is this in my opinion:

I'm indulging tonight.

I don't usually post food pics, but this is about the best thing that's come out of this trip so far.

Let's try this again, shall we?
