I like a video that turns the camera around and features real people, and these were extra-special in the time before stuff like easy video production and streaming.

But I especially like what the band Cake did with Short Skirt/Long Jacket, where they went around letting people preview the song and give their reactions on camera. And the reactions were... actually pretty mixed.

I'm really getting stuck on "garage sailing" since it's not, to my knowledge, a common term. I think you need to set it up better to help prime the listener to think of garage sales while talking about things that both "types" could have in common (you'd likely do either on the weekend).

"Somebody told me about garage sailing. So I woke up up early on Saturday morning. And let me tell you, turns out: not as buoyant as they look."

Or maybe like this, with a bridge that makes the listener lean forward a little and listen harder.

"You know garage sails, right? Bad idea, dangerous, stay away. They just sink."

The sketchy factor is really unfortunate to hear, as they're one of few that make tiny phones or ones with hardware keyboards. Are custom ROMs a thing for these?

It's not valid, though. YYYY is required (since 2004), and day of the month requires a leading zero.

I don't know your specific work/life situation, so I won't pretend to know what all the constraints are, but if you'll indulge me I want to try to challenge the idea that play is something you can only do away from all the dull stuff.

If you have a "bring your inner child to work day" would anyone notice? And what if it works out for you and you start to smuggle them in every day? It doesn't have to mean acting like a big ol' goofball in meetings, but it could be approaching the stuff you have to do from the perspective of openness, what-ifs and sometimes asking the kind of questions (like "why?") that adults usually don't because they fear it may mark them as someone who doesn't know everything and have all the answers. Or when it comes to tasks that genuinely have fewer creative opportunities, setting small work-related challenges for yourself, achieving high scores nobody else knows about, etc. (I feel like I read a blog post or something about this, but I can't remember what.) Or just having a secret laugh at what five-year-old you might have thought of a co-worker or some situation you observed. If the "adult mask" you mentioned is working for you, then keep wearing it. But you get to decide what goes on behind it.

I don't want to sound like an apologist for working all the time, and you should also be making time for actual play, on your own time, that uniquely benefits you! But I also don't want you buying into the notion that work time, where you spend so much of your life, should be reserved for suffering in a straight-jacket.

"Got any games on your Kindle?"

Client-side decorations make every application look, work and feel different. It puts an inappropriate amount of control in the hands of app developers with questionable aesthetic and UX sensibilities, all to save like 5% vertical space and look fresh and modern in screenshots.

I don't know who this, is but his analysis is pretty indicting of Mozilla. Fortunately you can read the Mozilla post (he links to it) for yourself and see if it actually matches up with what he says. My analysis: Holy leaps of logic, Batman!

It helps to know if you're necessarily looking for a hosted service like Newsblur, able to self-host one on your own server, or just use a standalone client that runs on your Android and doesn't need to sync with anything else.

A lot of them may have commented on the first post.
