Parler was shutdown, did you use it?
I was dabbling with the alternative social media app, Parler. I used it to post financial stock news for fun. I quickly nabbed 150 subs and then it was ripped from the app stores and Amazon blocked it from its data apparently.

Just random good fun this site
My friend David and I decided to share each others sites this week. He runs the Land Of Random. He basically scours the internet for the interesting, the strange, the random. This week he found an artist willing to sell his soul, errr um, entire future of creative work for $5,000,000 amongst other things.

My App Recommendation
Remember Techmo Bowl... here it is in app form
This is so neat. It’s about as close as I have found to my favorite NES game, Tecmo SuperBowl. The 2 things I want in it is a play selector and the iconic, “ready set hut hut hut hut hut...”

Have you tried or heard of the Clubhouse App?
Clubhouse is like a radio show but you get to pass the mic around. I’m still digesting it. The vibe I get is like if a bunch of people sat in chairs in a circle and talked about a topic. Like an AA meeting. I’m still trying to understand how to navigate it and I’m curious. Have you tried it? Talked in it? Created a room? Reply and tell me about your experience if you have.

Last Week You Asked Me...
This app works by tracking your eyes. 👀
I was asked this week “can apps track what I’m actually looking at?” I had no clue really so I dug in.
Hawkeye is a browser type app that tracks your eyes as a cursor using the front camera. You can simulate a click with a smile, blink, or remaining in the same spot long enough. Pretty neat to test for free for fun but I think it shows we can “sort of” do it but there’s room for improvement.
*You need an iPhone X or above. Something with the newer true depth camera will work it.
