What will Googlebooks offer that make them worth Google changing direction from Chromebooks?
I had a Pixelbook years ago and was excited — until I wasn’t. ChromeOS already baked in Android apps and it wasn’t that great. So will a full Android-based OS actually change things, or just move the problem around?
I want a full desktop experience. Android can’t match iPadOS in app quality and desktop experience, despite Android’s AI edge. I just bought a MacBook Air. If Googlebook matures into a true desktop experience, it could make my next laptop shortlist. Give it a couple of years.
The Chestnut Man
2021 · Kasper Barfoed and Mikkel Serup
At a grisly murder scene sits a figurine made of chestnuts. From this creepy clue, two detectives hunt a killer linked to a politician's missing child.
I'm on Season 1, episode 2. It's going very slowly, but I'm still curious about the chestnuts as a clue in every murder... Hmm.

It is awesome to see one of the SBOYZ singing in the sing language. I snapped the shot of the part where he said “love.”

I just remembered watching this cartoon episode as a kid. Hard to believe it’s almost 90 years old — and the tortoise shares my name. It was fun watching it.
In the 1936 Disney Silly Symphony short Toby Tortoise Returns, released August 22, 1936, Max Hare and Toby Tortoise face off in a boxing ring. Max is faster, but Toby pulls off the win after Max accidentally stuffs him with fireworks. It’s about 7 minutes long and absolutely worth a watch.
I did read the book, with the same name, The Chestnut Man three years ago but I didn’t finish. It was good but I got distracted with other things and forgot about it. I should finish reading the book!
