Google's products have been sapping my desire to build things. It used to be that we had to build our own tools to do thing like edit code, send email with a quick workflow, etc. Not so any longer.

I've found a Gmail-based email workflow that work really well for me (and requires no browser extensions or custom code). I now own a Chromecast that allows me to play music and video on my home AV system. It just works, out of the box.

This looks really compelling if I was the kind of hacker that still hacked tools. These days I hack my workflow and use existing tools because they've gotten really good.
