I didn’t catch any of the meteor showers but there has been a fantastic clear view of Venus and Jupiter over the last couple of mornings. You need to be up really early to see them though.

“The Gentrification of Vimes”.
This is so good. Contains spoilers for the City Watch books by Terry Pratchett but I imagine anyone interested will have already read those. Sam Vimes has always been my favourite Pratchett character.
I used to enjoy and look forward to Apple WWDC keynotes. Now I couldn’t care less. It’s like Apple is at the “let’s throw a bunch of crap at the wall and see what sticks” stage.
I deleted/cancelled the Wordpress hosting that I’ve had on the go for about fifteen years. My decision has nothing to do with recent Wordpress controversy. I just don’t want to have to maintain that kind of site anymore. Micro.blog does everything I need now. This is my only web home now.
Started to read: The Name of This Band Is R.E.M. by Peter Ames Carlin. I’ve been looking forward to getting this. I ended up buying the ebook for my Kobo as it hasn’t been easy to find a hard copy in the UK. 📚
Disappointed to find out that NHK World Japan has removed its channel from TV services. It was a nice little oasis of calm amongst the dross of all the other channels and a good way to keep up with the Sumo tournaments. Hopefully there will be another way to access those highlights.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. 📍
Back to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum today. It was nice and cool inside amongst the exhibits. Very warm outside.
It appears that I’ve preordered an album on Bandcamp two times again. I need someone to keep track of these things for me.
I searched on DuckDuckGo for info about a new iOS app and one of the results pointed to a genuine personal blog. Just like the old days. Not only that but the blog was hosted on micro.blog. I’d love to see more of this happening.
