Slate is promising a mid $20K EV pickup truck. This is a Jeff Bezos backed company, so they should have plenty of money to get this to market and if the specs are true, this is a very interesting new entry into the US market. China has plenty of truly affordable EV options, but that's not the case here. We need more.

Back when the social web was a kinder, gentler place, I use to love StumbleUpon and how easy it was to share sites you found interesting with your online acquaintances. This segment of my blog, Just Dug Up, is actually my attempt to recreate that experience. I'll be checking Wander out.

And this quote is why this is so funny. "I have been a professional tech journalist for nearly 15 years, and before today, I cannot think of a single time when a Bing search result was more valuable than the Google equivalent. There really is a first time for everything!"

This kind of a product release just makes me smile. Insta360 is one of my favorite companies, and now they've released a wireless mic that allows you to customize the graphics. If you are a power user and want to promote your brand, this is a great way to do it. It's hard to hide these mics, so why even try? Turn it into something that gets featured instead.

Over the years, this has been one of my favorite technology keynotes to watch. I'm not sure that will still hold true in 2026, but I plan on watching it nevertheless. It will be interesting to see what Google decides to highlight this year.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you have seen more than a few videos of people driving into flooded streets and getting stuck. I've come to expect it. So why are se so surprised with a self-driving car, trained on human data does the same thing?

Here is one thing I believe is true about the difference. I think humans will continue driving into flooded waters. I'd bet money that they'll figure out how to make self-driving cars stop.
