It is annoying to watch your hairline recede. It is even more annoying to be a mute spectator of the juggling act that gets payed every day over your head.
Of course, I had to write about the experience of these struggling, surviving fighters left behind.
A receding hairline poses a lot of annoyance for the owner of one. And I won’t even get into how painful it is to watch your forehead span further into your scalp with each passing day. That’s manageable. It’s the juggling act that gets played out everyday on your head that is crazy.
The remaining soldiers battling at fore-front start behaving like sore losers, running helter-skelter. But they are also wired for a sole task to cover the scalp, so they keep curling and furling all over the deserting scalp. Of course, failing terribly at their attempt to cover it to any convenient extent.
The dearth of much competition also makes every individual’s development feel brisk, the troop growing longer rather than denser. Given there remain very few of them, they get caressed more by the owner, pulling few out every time they are.
What this leaves behind is a scene akin to a movie theatre playing any recent M. Night Shyamalan movie. Very few that matter occupying the seats, scattered, with tons of empty spaces peeping all across.
🎵 A great song this - Here I dreamt I was an architect
I need to listen to more from this band - The Decemberists, for their great acoustic.
It’s difficult to maintain, support and improve legacy features. Always better to clean the slate and start fresh with a new design and current technology stack.
Unfortunately, that liberty is not accorded every time.
Alto’s back with a new adventure →
The main evolution is that Alto has learned to embrace his adventurous side: this time he is calling the shots and stepping out into the larger world on his own terms.
Exciting! 🤗
HomePod is speaker first, after all →
Siri on the HomePod doesn’t need to be terribly clever to keep up with Alexa in my house.
A great review by @jack about things that matter to a regular customer. Above statement resonated for me too — what Alexa gets asked is limited.
There is no better way to sign-off the week than enjoying a sumptuous meal with your family, sharing lots of stories & laughs and a cheery time together.
I wish there was a single place where I could see all my paid subscriptions. There is a reason at times I prefer subscribing via App Store, even if it is a buck costly.
I am not sure what the solution is, but there needs one given more services rely on a subscription model now.
Finally managed to document the journey embracing IndieWeb principles on my site built with Hugo. This has been a pretty satisfying project, especially given it has inspired me again to write more - and of course post to and from micro.blog.
I am seriously considering closing my gmail account. I am weary of dumping more and more of my data to Google data farm.
But I wonder what are the alternatives? Preferably hosted ones.
