  A good, "we used to know this, then forgot it, and are now re-inventing it but with different [ed: adversarial] incentives" presentation on alerts and notifications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ira28fgSF7M

  Re-sorted a bunch of cables to consign half to e-waste. Now have ziplock bags with labels "USB A", "USB micro", "USB mini", and "USB WTF?!?" That last bag scares me. In boxes here somewhere there are probably oddball devices that need one of those cables that's USB on one end and something decidedly not USB on the other. A sure way to discover which is to throw those cables away.

  We have a whiteboard that's old enough that WIndex only moves the smudges around. Found a new (to me) cleaning method that uses toothpaste, isopropyl alcohol, and WD-40. And it works! Note the advice on using unscented toothpaste. I didn't, and a room here now smells MINTY FRESH! https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/how-to-restore-an-old-whiteboard/
