I think the reality of technology and the fact that someone is always listening just dawned on my vastly superior half.
Her friend popped in and mentioned a health app in passing.

While I am not particularly nostalgic, I have found the most efficient way to relive the days of yore is to interact with a chartered bank.
Me (On phone): I can't login to your (banking) website and can't reset my password. Them (On phone): No problem Sir, I can fix that for you. Before we proceed, could you tell me the balance on your most recent statement? Me: No, I can't login, remember? So I can't check my balance. Them: Okay. If you look at your most recent paper statement, the number will be near the top. Me: I don't have paper statements anymore because you hounded me into going paperless, remember? Them: In that case you'l have to visit one of our branches to verify your identity. Is there anything else I can help you with? Later ... Me (at Branch): I can't login to your website and can't reset my password. Them (at Branch): Oh we can't help you with that here, you'll have to call our Customer Service line. Me: Then I'd like to speak to a manager. Is Mr. Scrooge available or is he too busy fetching coal, filling inkwells or kicking orphans? |

Seriously, what an effed up industry. All banks suck. But some banks suck less than others. |

I've had most of the major banks and all of the major credit card networks as clients and they were actually quite well ensconced in the 21st Century. They even embraced stuff like REST, JSON and a public Internet. Of course, those were back end / security people as opposed to front office staff.
They were / are mostly a pleasure to work with. Although there was the first time I was in MC worldwide HQ and the only way to pay for anything in their cafeteria was cash or MasterCard. No MasterCard? No problem. They had a machine that would vend prepaid MC cards in the lobby. "Priceless", as their competition used to say. |
REST is so last century

How about them _____________ (insert the team you love, hate, or love to hate). On another note, I wonder what Tom Brady is doing this week? |
Tom Brady is sitting at home reminding himself that he's the greatest that ever played the position, he has more rings than any other player, and he's rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Unfortunately, he's also telling his agent to find him a team. Here comes Favre 2.0 - and that's an ugly way to end a beautiful career. |
