My daughter has reached an age now where she lip syncs to songs, mostly pop, in front of the mirror. Of course, using the comb as a mic. Sigh! It’s going to be tricky to keep up.

Apple needs to launch a TV+ app for Android. They have one for music. So I can’t understand why they won’t launch one for their TV offerings too. It’s such a pain to watch their shows and movies on a non-Apple mobile device. And I won’t buy an Apple device just for TV.

At times I feel everyone other than me is doing so much with their time while I sit here blank, staring at the screen. Not doing any thing that I should be doing. It sucks when this thought strikes.

I have been very keen on listening to Audiobooks recently. The moment I have some spare time, I am listening to the audiobooks. That does not bode well for my other interests. I also blame the brilliant collection of books I have been recommended🙃.

OnePlus is promoting their upcoming device with this tagline - “our most advanced cooling system ever”. That doesn’t sound like a good strategy to me.

When there are too many things I want to write about, I can’t publish any. I usually then take a pause, scribble a few words and save them as draft in Ulysses. The dashboard interface of Svbtle was pretty unique in that sense - a flow of unpublished ideas it was called. I wish the blogging platforms were bolder with Dashboard’s designs.

At times, Wordle is all about luck when it’s all about which character you select with 10s of solutions possible. I wasn’t lucky today – I ran out of tries guessing all the wrong characters.
