    Stand back — we’re doing science here, people.

    FWIW, I spent about 15 minutes hurling myself at a dog bed trying to activate Apple Watch fall detection. I was too chicken to take the hard fall that I suspect would have done it.

    This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Pixies classic, Where Is My Mind. The song (sort of about snorkeling -- true) features some of my favorite bass-in-a-box-with-a-buzzsaw sounds, and verse-YOYOHERESTHECHORUS-verse yowls.
