At @adventurex.bsky.social a couple of people commented about the paperback of ‘Ink: The Official Users Guide’ having fairly tiny text.

I've been working on my "stories" for expected behavioral questions in a planned job interview. It's a tedious work to recollect the memory of my work experience, but it gave me an opportunity to reflect on how things really were and how I could/should have done things differently.

Last week, and today, I came to Starbucks to do some writing for the first time in a decade. I used to this more when working on the last book (which was about Windows 8 programming!) but I do not actively write or contribute to any publication recently. It's a bit easier for me to keep focus here.

The Odin 3 has arrived, with a beautiful 6" AMOLED 120Hz 1080p display and a ton of raw performance power. It's easily the most powerful Android handheld available, but it has some shortcomings. Here are my first impressions: youtu.be/dvXnCZQwJPQ
