2022 in review: a bit of everything
As 2022 comes to a close, I like to reflect on the things I enjoyed during the year. I try to focus on things that were released in the past 12 months, but some categories, such as books, are very difficult to summarize in this way. In the end, I decided to include things that…

Spy Roombas, invisible frogs, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#51)
Last one before the end of the year recap, where I will try to write about the things I enjoyed the most this year in different topics, as usual. Let’s start: AI and the information age Two interesting reads this week on AI and automation. First, what is going to happen when future generations of…

Losing is fun, FORM, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#49)
So much stuff and so little time! Really crawling through this last couple weeks before holidays. Let’s start: Cyberpunk 2022 Back in February (time flies) I shared an article about people with cybernetic eye implants losing them when the company went bankrupt. To my surprise, this week I saw this article on Nature talking about…

Qatar World Cup, quettabytes, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#47)
Packed week: recorded an episode for the podcast (Alien rules!), and managed to play a little bit of Pokémon (shame on you, GameFreak). Also had a bit of time to read a few interesting stories. Let’s start: Qatar: the World Cup Amazing documentary on the procedure that lead to the FIFA World Cub being hosted…

Not a lot going on lately (mostly centered on work these days), but still a couple cool links and some shocking news. Let’s start: Watering your watch? Cute study that really made me think. A groupp of researchers designed simple wearables that, instead of being just made of electronics, required a living organism to properly…

The real trombone champ, Google’s special treatment, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#39)
Lots of funny stories this week. Trombone Champ is blowing it, Jack Dorsey is a maniac, AI keeps spreading over all the aspects of our life, Google manages to be evil again, and people are finally starting to take action against the nonsensical fashion industry. Let’s start: The real trombone champ That was quick! People…

Old man Kirby, Twitter might be doomed, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#17)
Back in Paris, where temperatures are nice but blue skies are some kind of mythological animal, it seems. Anyway, at least I did not have a lot of trouble with the allergies and the dirty air this time. Quite packed week at work (and it will probably get worse in the coming months), but still…

The golden age of video games, toxic AIs, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#11)
Spring is here, and with it a lot of sand from the Sahara, which in combination with my allergies have destroyed my throat this week. The Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to be stagnant, but no advances in the peace talks have ended with Russia mobilising even more troops. We’ll see how stuff develops in…
