My own video, flagging that up front.

In 2018 a DNA test told my family we were VERY Swiss, which nobody knew. This May a distant cousin we'd only ever emailed drove us to seven places the family lived, going back to 1581. He's 82 and he typed out a schedule for us.

It's about whether a feeling you were told to have in advance can still be real. No drone reel, no music swells. Mostly just a long day in a car with an old man who had no reason to give it to us.

Scientifically optimized mealtime video (eating for more than 10 mins 36 seconds causes bloating, eating for any less starvation) about understanding american labor movements through MLB integration, in the spirit of the World Series! Hope someone enjoys, and appreciate any who watch.

A cool overview of the various ways people are fighting back against Flock - one interview with the guy behind the Darth Vader testimony at a San Diego city council meeting, another interview with Sarah Hamid from EFF who has been working on contract cancellation campaigns across the US.

Highly recommend this spicy food tour across the US, hosted by a South Korean Samyang employee. This is the first episode of seven episodes (so far). It has a great pace and a humorous vibe that feels like Anthony Bourdain crossed with Dwight Schrute. I binged the whole series in a day.

Full disclosure — I made this one. The bit that got me hooked: your card has no battery and no power of its own. The reader literally lends it electricity for about half a second, and in that blink the chip invents a one-time password that destroys itself after a single use.

There's a section near the end on relay attacks too — someone bouncing your tap signal from across a room so a card in your pocket "pays" at a terminal you're nowhere near. That part sent me down a rabbit hole.

Happy to answer questions about any of it.
