b'This week kicks off with a return to an old chestnut: _Twitter_. John doesn\\u2019t want too many things to check, and Merlin finds some therapy. The distinction of the \\u201cmuffle\\u201d is highlighted.\\n\\nThis week\\u2019s mini-topic concerns the ***new Google Calendar UI***. Merlin thinks there\\u2019s just too much clicking, and John would like some better information density. The influence of old Mac habits is explored, leading to a nostalgic visit to the bygone, halcyon days of using a Macintosh. The sad and downward history of TV interactions also comes up. John wonders why intertitles make typey noises, and Merlin has no problem identifying LONDON.\\n\\nIn an unintentional mini-topic, your hosts talk about ***kids going to camp*** and wonder about the unintended consequences, both positive and negative. Merlin thinks about everything as a project, and John has updates on Daisy, who is increasingly going rogue.\\n\\nFor something like a main topic, things turn to ***trying to talk to kids about\\u2026stuff***. A _Predestination_-style thought experiment is considered.\\n\\n(_Recorded on Monday, February 26, 2018._)'
