COSTCO is warning that they are seeing significant changes in customer's buying habits. Less beef, more chicken, tuna,store brands. They say this is a signal of severe economic stress that they haven't seen since 2007.

@ronsterd89 For the amount of product, time, and effort to restore your curtain, I recommend buying a new one.

Can anyone recommend the best way to get rid of mold/mildew/grime on the underside of a shower curtain?

@HOUSEPORN___ Need to see installation instructions or fake

@elonmusk Nothing wrong with a 15 minute meditation or a dose of shock out of curiosity

Aka opening your email

@richontech Thanks for the sarcastic PSA, it happens😬 Report any suspicious calls or text messages to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). You can file a complaint online at ftc.gov/complaint.

Ugh I hate when this happens! Updated all my info with them, including my social, date of birth and credit card security code. Seems like a lot to hand over but want to be sure this mysterious package I’m not expecting gets to my house!

@richontech I have one more toilet paper holder business card if anyone is interested

Here’s the problem with digital business cards. I tested all types. QR code someone can scan off your phone screen. NFC style tap cards. Text message that sends recipient your vCard. The problem with QR is connection and action. Some folks don’t have an active internet connection. Fine. They also have offline cards too. Problem is it brings up a web page and the person on the other end must take action immediately. Many apps also try to be their own mini CRM platform. If QR is successful, do they follow you on Insta? Twitter? Add your info to their address book? In a crowded conference like setting people don’t have the time to make this decision instantly so they put it off and the web page with your info becomes a tab they forget about by end of day. Downloading the vCard is better but then you go right into their address book. But who remembers to look up every person they added to their address book. Not me. The best solution I found is an app that will text the recipient your vCard which is handy because they can deal with it later. But it comes from a random text number that they can’t text back to. Or if they do you don’t get it. Scanning LinkedIn QR code? Then you’re beholden to their platform and it doesn’t always contain contact details. Bottom line, I want to love and embrace the digital business card. But the reality is stuffing a card in your pocket and fishing it out at the end of a long day is still the best way to connect with someone new.

@richontech Too cool! I wonder if those people you interviewed are following you and say, "Hey that me with Rich DeMuro!"

Since Circuit City is trending, here's a throwback report from my days at CNET. Black Friday 2006 at Circuit City in NYC

@richontech @evernote I heard you mention Evernote on several occasions. I tried it but kept going back to the combo of Google Keep (grocery list reminder by 'location') and @msonenote. I'll give Evernote a try again

resubscribed to @evernote and life is just so much better. I tried to use a free notes app and it just wasn't cutting it. I feel back at home and more productive than ever.

@sondesix Probably the Google Pixel which is the closest thing to an iPhone. Each have its strengths yet weaknesses

iPhone users... If Apple is not going to make iPhones anymore and you can only switch to one Android phone brand, what brand would it be? 🤔
