Idea from a friend - Google Duplex should call all restaurants and ask about Memorial Day timings and autoupdate Google Maps for the entire country.

It's time Apple let's Siri die and get replaced by services that actually work. Siri is just ruining our iPhone experience now.

I think I'll also update my privacy policy for all my friends.

I still feel WordPress is my best bet for easy self-hosting. Yeah, plugins are a pain to deal with sometimes. I'm on the fence right now about reenabling Disqus.

I recently removed Disqus comments from my blog, because I want to go WordPress native. Perhaps that has something to do with it? Or maybe that just made it a viable target for hackers to scan? I've installed Securi to monitor my files. Let's see.

I found and removed a bunch of files and plugins which were clearly meant to give the hacker backdoor access to upload any files into my WordPress setup, though I still don't know how in the first place.

WordPress folks - my blog had an unwanted popup ad whenever I clicked on a blogpost the first time, then I changed my theme and then changed it back, and the 'hack' no longer seems to be there. Anyone else ever see this?

haven't played with the API yet… ?
