This is the second of two experimental bonus episodes I really wanted to do. Today I invited my non-technical friend, Alex, over to ask me whatever is on her mind. Most of the time it's tech related, sometimes it's about the Loch Ness monster.  So today, before I go on a little vacation, I wanted to share one of those discussions with you.

2. An experiment I did this year keeping track of all new media I consumed and ranking it.
