Woot’s Apple Watch Band sale was insane. We got $450 worth of bands for $89 with additional discounts. Goes to show just how insane Apple’s margins are. These things cost single dollars to make and ship.
@mjtsai I appreciate it. It was a good 2 years but we’re happy to be coming back north and I’m happy to have found a role local to our home there so I don’t have to settle for a remote role. I’ll be joining King Arthur as a Director of Operations in the COO’s team. Good challenge!

Not a bad 2024 for flights.
Quit my job today. I’ve done this only a few times in my life and it’s always nerve racking. Technically gave 4 week notice.

This is huge. So glad to have full RSS of the Verge.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24306571/verge-subscription-launch-fewer-ads-unlimited-access-full-text-rss I don't read the Verge unless someone links to it and the reason I stopped back in the day was because they kept doing screwy things with their RSS feed I've subscribed.Hoping my …
