I've tried to swear off collecting things, but I'm tempted by The Mel Brooks Collection - 9 Blu-ray discs for $30. I don't know all the movies, but there are five that would be worth it without the others.
Disc 1: The Twelve Chairs
Disc 2: Blazing Saddles
Disc 3: Young Frankenstein
Disc 4: Silent Movie
Disc 5: High Anxiety
Disc 6: History of the World - Part 1
Disc 7: To Be or Not to Be
Disc 8: Spaceballs
Disc 9: Robin Hood: Men in Tights
A jack of many hobbies and a master of none - spending lots of time on amateur/ham radio, running, and technology.

Morse Code Tools
I love this RSS newsfeed/Twitter morsereader. I asked for support of international letters a while ago and @dc3dreamer implemented it. Works perfectly for Norwegian æ ø å, as well as Swedish ä ö. #hamr https://t.co/kHCnppttIE— Sverre Holm, LA3ZA (@LA3ZA) February 18, 2018

Falcon Heavy
I came across a good video of the Falcon Heavy launch (via Ace of Spades), so I'm posting it so I can find it again easily. (As a reminder, some number of my posts are created b/c I have CRS (Can't Remember Stuff) Syndrome.
The engineers are just showing off around the 30 min mark when the two boosters land.

Eufy Genie $20 - Vizio and Alexa
I got an e-mail saying that the Eufy Genie was on sale for $20 for Valentine's Day.
On a related note...
I bought a Google Home Mini just to control my Vizio TV. Vizio announced an Amazon Alexa skill to do the same. Cool!
