Coffee often has a good chance of making a constructive contribution to my well-being. This evening is one such example.

I’ve noticed that as the weather has become much more pleasant — here in the northern hemisphere anyway — some people have become much less angry in general. Weird how that works.

Looking forward to these. Had Parfit’s on my to-buy list for some time.

When it is windy, inevitably there will be rain.

A well-equipped good boy is a serene sight for us. Despite the cold and the rain, the local park has become an instant favourite to all of us.

Sometimes the foliage is as distracting as the ball.

Yes, he has a “cute” card and he’s not afraid to use it.

Scheduled my catching up on the photo-challenge. Feels good — I’m going to go a few days past the challenge with more posts since I want that bloody pin.

These flowers have appeared in the wake of the storms. We’re already seeing life unlike anything we had ever seen in our previous homes.

That was fun!

Gibberish doesn’t have those features, it’s meant to be easy to understand. I want my users to use almost all of the features in Gibberish, not just 10%. Users are supposed to click around the Gibberish app, look at the post information etc, and ask, “Is that all?” That’s a good thing.

The app is an intriguing idea in its own right. However, I love seeing people make anything with this mentality and am keen to support those efforts.

The newest video from the folks at Lux, about the latest update regarding their upcoming video app, Kino is a good example as to why I am so happy to largely buy from them sight unseen. Clear and simple communication is one of those creative tricks; it takes so. much. work to produce such a thing.

It’s a competitive field but the ball is probably his favourite toy.

Today I learned a new word.

Today I am drinking coffee and can taste it, for the first time in a week.

Fuck you, flu-ey sickness.

Been flu-ey for a few days so this feels satisfying. My brain is gradually returning to where it should be.

I’ve come to realise that I am the type of person who prefers to use 1,000 apps, all of which do 1 thing perfectly; as opposed to using 10 apps, none of which do anything well.

I feel about bloat as I do about ads.

I’m doing well with Spelling Bee as well. Related: TIL you can use the letters more than once. -_-

Misread carton as cartoon in today’s NYT Mini. Looks like one coffee isn’t getting the job done.
