Bendingspoon made its debut on the Nasdaq market on the 1st (local time). Bloomberg There are brands that once dominated the Internet world but disappeared into memory due to competition with big tech. AOL, the epitome of early web surfing, EverNote, an essential memo app for office workers around the world, and Vimeo, a video platform that was a playground for creators.

Logan Webb accepted responsibility for the San Francisco Giants' lopsided loss to the Toronto Blue Jays while reflecting on a difficult first inning. Following the San Francisco Giants' 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, Logan Webb didn't search for excuses. Despite settling down after a difficult opening inning, the Giants' ace focused on the final outcome rather than any positives from his outing. "Not good," Webb said when asked to evaluate his performance. "We lost the game, right? I put our team in a hole 5-0 in the first one. It's not very good." While the Blue Jays capitalized early, Webb believed the inning was influenced by a combination of well-placed hits and a few pitches he wished he could have back. He noted that some balls simply found open spots, while others resulted from mistakes that Toronto took advantage of in the game. Rather than dwelling on bad luck, Webb emphasized that his job is to limit the damage when things begin to unravel.  » Read More

Andy Quandt has opinions about bikes.   “I think your tires make way more difference for how your bike rides than frame material.”  Many opinions.  “There’s a bicycle surplus problem in this world.”  Strong opinions.   “The overall problem with the cycling world is how focused it is on turning people into cyclists.”  Such hard-won wisdom doesn’t always make for great customer service. But it does make for fantastic video content, and that’s precisely what Quandt has been working on since he started his “BikeFarmer” YouTube channel in 2023. He’s not shy about sharing his opinions. His most popular videos have titles like “Bike Shop A$$H0LE tells how you’ve been duped! 10 reasons your bike is WRONG (or maybe right)!” Quandt, who grew up in Lake Mills and attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, has been involved in the Madison bike scene his entire adult life. In college, he worked at Budget Bicycle Center as a mechanic while studying creative writing and technical communications. After college, he changed tracks and worked as a high-powered semiconductor diode laser technician.  “I cut my hair and got a real job,” he says. “It sucked.”  When the predicted fiber-optic boom never happened, that job went away and Quandt
