When I am not blogging (which is most of the time), I am pretending to be busy whilst attempting to build memories with friends and family.....

simply put: I am living the life of a mere civilian......
There are few places on this beautiful planet of ours where it's truly heavenly.

#queentown is one of those places.

This is my third visit and everytime, I am mesmerised by its natural beautiful 😍

Sunsets are always beautiful.

Even on the days where I am feeling down, looking at a #sunset makes me feel better

Weight of the phone is often gets the least attention but it matters greatly for overall use.

The iPhone 13 mini is 30% lighter than the iPhone 16 pro... 30% is nothing to sneeze it

Google's find my alternative called Find Hub is pretty great. The #SONOS Ace can be located via the Find hub. I do not believe non Apple branded headphones have findmy support. Happy to be proven wrong.

My mood has significantly improved. That is the power of locally roasted coffee beans 🫘 ☕

Buy local, support local 😊

We take it for granted how lucky we are to have #opensource software.

It really is magical because not only the source code is publicly available, it's free.

So, do your part. donate 💰

@davx5.com is a good example.

The Accountant 2 on #amazon #prime

Not a bad Saturday Night watch.

Go watch it.

Which #browser on #android has a new tab button in its menu bar?

Seems like a no brainer to me but ever other browser is two taps or more to open new tab 🤷‍♂️

So far, I have only found Arc (pictured)

Thank you @1password.bsky.social for bringing drag and drop support on #android. Just tried it on my Pixel Fold and it was glorious 😊

Good way for start the day

#android 16 is here 😊

Discovered this new #watchface for my #pixelwatch and I like it's minimalistic vibe.

The fine folks at @flexibits.com are so good.

#fantastical on #windows is beautiful 😍

Going subscription likely enabled development of their amazing calendar app on Windows and I am grateful for that 🙏

This is a neat feature on #windows, allowing you to "end task" of the app right from the app icon.

This feature is not enabled by default. Go to Settings > For Developer and enable "end task"

This must be recent because I had not seen this before.

The rain forecast on the Google Weather app has been pretty accurate lately, not to mention the design is beautiful 😍 as well

I use the Star Wars universe as an escape from the real world and, most times, with that intention, these Star Wars tv shows have been good, with Andor being better than just good.

Really digging the minimalistic Firefox setup lately 😍

Nice quality of life addition by the wonderful folks at @smartlauncher.bsky.social

This also means, I have to set some time aside to decide two home screen layouts on my Pixel Fold. Life is so hard 😭

Is this what people mean when they say the elephant in the room 😂

So France blocked Pornhub and ProtonVPN registrations surged. Who would have thought?

Changing things up today.

Top one is the new setup.

Both powered by #microsoft #surfacepro.

The flexibility offered is impressive 😀

I recently moved private insurance providers and I cannot believe that the experience of claiming is better on #android than it is on #ios.

WhatsApp is trying to tell me that I have too many devices. How judgmental 🤣?

How rude saying “can’t have more"

Perhaps it’s time to reconsider my tech stack.

I have missed feelings about Season 2 of Last of Us. However, there is no doubt that this was one of the most beautiful tv shows I have seen this year, which is particularly impressive considering its rather terrible backdrop of zombies etc.

It shouldn't have but this made me smile.

In all seriousness, this is probably a good representation on how solutions to problems are presented.
