FYI, you can now disconnect your Spotify account from Facebook, even if you created that account with FB Oauth. Looking forward to trying it https://support.spotify.com/us/account_payment_help/account_help/i-want-to-use-spotify-without-facebook/

so you're saying that blasting "The Ecstasy of Gold" at full volume at 8am ISN'T a good way to celebrate launch

This one time, I created a Windows 98 sound theme by chopping up that song into short half second sound bites, so using the computer was like living in a constant state of that song playing.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was art.

That’s a hard one; I can think of many places where they don’t check IDs and they definitely ought to. My friend goes to our datacenter to do server work most of the time, and we had to switch centers for the very same reason. I feel you.

Whoa that's bad news!

@aaronpk this and the airport story from yesterday mostly tells me that Australians aren't as paranoid as Americans.

Do you have white teenage sons?

Listen up.

I've been watching my boys' online behavior & noticed that social media and vloggers are actively laying groundwork in white teens to turn them into alt-right/white supremacists.

Here's how:

My friend’s entire company is locked out of their WeWork office because an umbrella fell, jamming the door.

No one can figure it out. It’s been like this for 2 days.

I just discovered a disturbing real-world vulnerability by accident.

A couple hours after checking in to my hotel, I went back to the front desk and said "I need to add someone to my room because her flight gets in late this evening." The clerk asked my room number, and I told her and also said my name. A few seconds later, after asking me to spell the name to add, there's a new name on my room reservation. Nowhere in this process did she check my ID.

Did I accidentally socially engineer my way into adding an unrelated name onto a room reservation?
