Fitbit, I am disappoint.
This is the Fitbit Surge, a $250 ‘superwatch’ with built-in GPS | The Verge – Yesterday I spoke with two other disenchanted Fitbit customers, upset that they are refusing to integrate with HealthKit. It’s really disappointing. I was onboard the Fitbit evangelism love train last year, but I also really, really hate walled gardens. I think they’re going to lose more customers than they gain over this.

Still a little bitter.
Florida State’s Jameis Winston Performs Admirably Under Scrutiny, at Least on the Field – NYTimes.com – I found it enormously telling that when Winston and his coach met on the field immediately after the game, the microphones picked up the coach’s repeated admonishments: “Be humble. Be HUMBLE.” You don’t normally have to remind non-jackasses to be humble.

Camp Creative
Ten years ago, I went to a five day summer craft camp called Camp Creative with my mother-in-law. I’ve been on the email newsletter list ever since. I just happened to look at this year’s classes… and I’m BLOWN AWAY. So many potential zombie apocalypse training courses!
- Build a canoe
- Bush furniture making
- Make a pair of desert boots
- Metalwork – make a BBQ pig/camp oven
- Learn to play the harp
Okay, maybe not that last one. But still. Don’t you think the rag-tag bunch of survivors rebuilding humanity might like to listen to some harp music each night?

Good grief.
Quinnspiracy / What To Expect When You’re Expecting (the internet to ruin your life) – “Try and remember if there’s any places you have accounts for that you might have forgotten. For example, they got into a dominos.com account I had made and forgot about to try and send someone a pizza. It can be especially damaging if that account is automatically set up to charge any of your accounts.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
