I am still in a vacation mood, enough that I may skip drafting the weekly digest this week. However, I look forward to the summaries from others to catch up on what I might have missed 😊
A cup of evening tea as the waves come gliding along the shore - the soothing sound, the serenity.
It is for reasons like this that I never keep my SmartTV connected to internet. It doesn’t matter which brand the TV is (I own a Sony), I just don’t trust these guys to be cognizant enough of the importance of the data — and importance of collecting less of it. Stay dumb.

As you’ve probably heard, people aren’t happy with Medium at the moment. What started as an awesome blogging platform seems to have quickly turned into something that’s pushing people away in droves
Mine’s a similar journey - didn’t hate Medium right away.
