As someone who used to create YouTube videos, I feel compelled to say that when you watch reviews from content creators, they’re almost always just telling you what they want from a product. The iPad doesn’t need macOS; a phone or laptop is fine if it works, regardless of CPU or RAM.
Friend Wing linked this to me this morning. A very interesting list of websites, dare we say blogs.
I experienced some strange micro.blog problems today. Older posts weren’t showing up, which might have been a theme-related issue. Thankfully, everything seems to be working fine now.

Recent changes to products I use have left me suspicious of application pricing. This, coupled with the capitalistic obsession of locking users into services, has led me to overhaul almost all of the software I rely on for productivity. I’m mad as all heck about it, and I hope the following paragraphs serve as a warning to those who haven’t yet noticed this creeping trend.
I realise that what I’m about to describe is exactly why the free software movement exists—something I learned during my decade of running Linux. Somewhere along the way, I forgot that lesson. But recent demonstrations of greed from software I once adored have reminded me in no uncertain terms.
Had a fantastic day at the safari park today. Was great fun. Drove many miles but now I’m home and ready to spend my evening writing.

Safari adventure begins ☺️
Going West Midlands safari park today with daughter. Much excite.
I must say, I don’t quite understand the relationship between Reminders and Calendar. I feel like they should be and almost are one unified app.
I’m taking a deep dive into Apple Notes and Reminders today. Must say, both apps have come a long way since last time I tried them, or my needs have changed and made them more suitable.
I just want to say this. While I see the need for streaming apps and services to have a subscription, offline software should not. Subscriptions only ever get more expensive in the future.
I really love DevonThink, it’s superb software, but their new Licensing Model really worries me. I may need to do a deep dive into the options available to me, including seeing what the current state of Apple Notes is.
Friday, I’m heading to West Midlands Safari Park. While most people visit a safari park to see exotic animals, I’m really excited to see a goat. I know it might seem odd, but I think goats are fantastic! Plus, you usually get to pet them. Honestly, I just love goats. 🐐
a Row man… trying to open a coconut.
Given all the images I’m posting recently, I may turn back on bluesky crossposting to see how they are received
Crocs with sunglasses.
You know a Bible verse study has been great when you are three bookmarks into Strong’s!
Yesterday I wrote loads and drew loads, I filed to study chess. 2/3 ain’t bad (or so Meatloaf tells me)
Power pole of power. Powering… things
Drew this octopus. There was no reason. I woke up too early this morning and was killing time. You can have it.
