But what does progress even mean, if it doesn't include better lives for people who work? What is the point of greater efficiency, if the money being saved isn't going anywhere except into shareholders' bank accounts? We should all strive to be Luddites, because we should all be more concerned with economic justice than with increasing the private accumulation of capital. We need to be able to criticize harmful uses of technology—and those include uses that benefit shareholders over workers—without being described as opponents of technology. - Ted Chiang

Using my phone as a computer speaker
I am aiming to have a productive day today. I have a to task list and everything. But there are also audio files on my computer I want to listen to and rather than go through the trouble of transferring that file to my phone, I thought it would be cool to be able to pipe my computer's audio over the network to my phone. That way as I move room to room I can stay tuned to the audio.
Enter AudioRelay, a windows freeware, and a free Android app. I installed both and they synced and it works seamlessly.
I don't know how often I'll use it, but in this case it is a good solution for me.

Since we watched the first, we continued in to watching the second one. And, look, it's a kid's movie. That's the most important thing. But, as entertainment for adults - it was bad.
