It's February 1, 2022, and National Get Up Day. Got a work project or life event that seems determined to knock you down? Don't let it win; get back out there and show it how great you really are. We believe in you!  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 209 articles, 8 podcasts, 5 press releases, 296 tweets, and 9 YouTube videos 1.

The five mics—the Wavo POD, Wavo PRO, PRO DS, Lav Pro, and the AIR—cover a wide range of styles and prices, so you should be able to find the perfect audio hardware to fit your needs. 3. Pinterest to Launch Augmented Reality Previews for Furniture Pinterest's new feature lets you view furniture in your home using augmented reality. It's working with stores like Wayfair to make it possible, and it'll likely get people to buy that couch they don't need. Will AR previews come to other categories? No clue, but we'd be interested in using it for food. Just sayin. 🦑 Go Deeper Those of you who still like carrying cash may be worried about Apple's plans to add direct iPhone-to-iPhone card payments, but the rest of us, like Charlie Sorrel, can't wait to see it make cash scarce. 🎱 By the Numbers Too many apps!
