I am saving SO much time and having so much fun with https://Perplexity.ai. I just drop my random questions/thoughts in and hit research and then come back later when it is done and read a whole data dump on everything I'd ever want to know.
Since Arc seems to be being abandoned, I have been trying to find a new browser like everyone else... I switched back to Safari last week and it's actually been really nice. My battery life has never been better.
Just got asked if my Google Pixel Fold was a new iPhone. People want a foldable iPhone so bad. Always having an iPad mini sized screen in your pocket is so nice.

damn this feels like the good ole days of Casey vlogs. just incredible storytelling. no ads, just vibes. I didn't know that I needed a lunch hotline.

Searching, learning or drafting in 2025 is unreal.

Need to get to something on a site you know? Google it.

Need to fact check or learn about something new? Use Perplexity.

Writing something? Drafting in Gemini 2.5 Pro + a canvas is unmatched.

Google Meet > Zoom

and transcriptions + summaries with Gemini that show up as Google Docs after the call? So so so nice.

With the amount of driving that I do in a week and with my schedule, taking an extra 30 minutes to an hour once a week or so to drive out to a charger in Jenks or BA is totally doable for me.

Especially when it is completely free. 🤑

Charging patterns:

• 45% of sessions in morning
• 35% in the afternoon
• 20% during the evening

And my most common days are Mondays and Saturdays.

The 624 kWh would have cost me about $87 if I charged at home in Tulsa (14¢/kWh on avg. but would likely be much lower), or $349 if I paid EA's standard rate ($0.56/kWh).

Instead, my total cost was just $1.08 (from a single time of letting it charge past the 30 minute limit).

I've charged 624 kWh in Jan & Feb, loosely equivalent to about 52 gallons of gas. At local Tulsa rates ($2.67-$2.78/gallon), that could have cost around $150 in a gas car.
