You may also enjoy the NYT's no-recipe recipes, which are freeform, forgiving recipes.

I see a lot of complaints about the state of recipe blogs in this thread. My solution was to look for better sources. NYT Cooking, Serious Eats, King Arthur, Bon Appetit, WaPo's Voraciously, etc. The recipes are well written and tested, and often have separate articles that go into more detail for the curious or confused.

I have found KeySnail[0] to fit my needs, which basically amount to scrolling, copy/paste, and keyboard hints for links.

Isn't that more dependent on your distro than anything else? On openSUSE Leap 42.2, my default is 3.0.1.1, and I could add the less-tested but realistically fine KDE:Extra repository for the latest version. Fedora seems to be shipping 3.1.1 as well. Arch and openSUSE Tumbleweed are also on 3.1.1.

I bought one of the first generation Android Wear devices for $50 a few months after they debut. There was some convenience to the simple verbal commands for timers and the instant answers made for a neat party trick, but the speech-to-text wasn't good enough for moderately complex messaging (I once said I would be there in "a bit over 15 minutes" and got the fraction bit/15 minutes) and it was heavy and uncomfortable. I've also become less and less comfortable with being so intimate with Google.

I do see value added in the notification mirroring, however. There are many situations where it's useful to see updates without taking out and unlocking your phone: at a meeting, with your hands full, walking around in a crowd. I hadn't worn my watch for the better chunk of a year until two weeks ago when I needed instant Twitter notifications during business hours should a convention I attend start selling its badges. Now that I have those badges, it's back into the drawer until needed again. My calculator watch is more comfortable and I have metal watches that look nicer. Unless I have a defined need for notifications on my wrist, I currently am better off with a conventional watch.
