I just heard a radio advert for Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Thatโ€™s a bunch of words that donโ€™t slip off the tongue easily.

I turned on the micro.blog newsletter service and sent myself a copy to see what it looked like. It’s nice. I haven’t written much here to justify a newsletter but I can see how it would be a great way to keep family members up to date with what I’ve been doing.

Trying to get back into the VSCO iOS app but the user interface is still awful. Thereโ€™s something wrong if I have to keep reminding myself where the camera button is. Itโ€™s unfortunate because the app has a lot of nice filters that are worth using. In for another year anyway.
