News isn’t always news sounding

I’ve been reading a lot more recently. Not because I enjoy reading (*) but more because it’s needed. While I do skim many articles just for the quick info, there are definitely pieces worth devoting more time and attention to… these are not any of those stories. No, these are a different kind of story…

I don’t know how quick most stories I read about tech-related items are actually written in. I know that sometimes I need to read a story a couple times because of the disbelief, and sometimes I just read a story because one or two lines will grab my attention.

I’m giving you a small list of the articles I’ve read today, but only gave linking text from part of the article, and it’s probably not the most attention-grabbing words, but since the lines came from the web pages than the writers are taking full responsibility in what they write.

I won’t continue giving just a small snippet from the articles, you should be reading your own stuff and the idea that these links are news related sort of makes them useless by the time I post this article, but the idea is still entertaining enough that I wrote about it.

* I’m not sure if I really enjoy reading anymore, as most of the reading I do these days is for helping school-grade kids or just trying to keep up with my industry. I do read books that aren’t technical, but not as often as I read tech books.
