(If you're new here, welcome, I hope your home is warmer than mine right now, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I've been reading about WhatsApp and Gavin Newsom and David Ellison and Andreessen Horowitz,"
"obsessively waiting for every new episode of The Pitt, using the app Monologue to talk to my computer instead of typing to it, joyfully rewatching The Night Manager before diving into the new season, finally getting my Ikea buttons hooked up to my smart home, listening to the Halt and Catch Fire soundtrack on repeat while I write, and watching a lot of old Star Search episodes on YouTube."
Curated tech and entertainment picks for mid‑January include industry updates about WhatsApp, Gavin Newsom, David Ellison, and Andreessen Horowitz. Recommendations feature a new Star Trek show, Apple’s new creative suite, a rebooted social network, and a Claude Code–adjacent tool worth trying. Personal tech notes cover using the Monologue app for voice input, connecting Ikea smart‑home buttons, and listening to the Halt and Catch Fire soundtrack while writing. Media highlights include a Netflix movie, rewatching The Night Manager, and classic Star Search episodes. The mix balances practical how‑tos, nostalgia, and industry news while inviting reader tips and past edition links.
