Can’t wait for the Apple Watch

I remember the time I was shamed for glancing at my watch (once!) by someone who spent the entire evening checking their phone.

TIL

that even if you have a Ph.D or call yourself a “system administrator” in your email sig, you can still be stupid enough to reply-all to an all-hands email without a suppressed recipient list [1]. And then have 15 other people reply-all asking to “be taken of this list”, “”stop replying-all”, and “I think you […]
