Modern Life is no longer updated.
After a long hiatus due to increased working commitment, lack of inspiration, and unclear goals: I've decided not to rekindle this blog but to start anew in more fertile soil. Modern Life will remain online as-is for the forseeable future.
I'm now posting at my new blog, User Interfaced.

It all started heading downhill after they changed their terms and conditions / privacy statement on the Google site. A couple of years ago it was a 2 sentence statement saying the equivalent of "Google will never share your personal data".
Now it's a multipage legal-department-approved uber document.
This was proof at the time that the engineers are no longer in charge at Google. And that's a scary thought. "Don't be evil" is going to turn into "Don't be evil*".
