Usually I kind of struggle to find a subject to do an Observe on, but this week I knew immediately.
On Thursday, I got a Google News notification on my phone; in the past, these notifications have usually been about political headlines (which is a nice way of saying that Google occasionally lets me know when Donald Trump does something stupid). This notification informed me that filmmaker David Lynch had released a game called “David Lynch Teaches Typing.”
My first question was why google thought I’d be interested in that. I know I haven’t done any recent searches on Lynch, or typing, or even computer games.
My only guess is that Google knows I’m into Nine Inch Nails, and that the group has collaborated with Lynch multiple times in the past. I guess? Honestly, this one’s beyond me. The game itself is a topic for another day, and deserves to be the topic of its own Observe.
