I Don't See the Point of Smartwatches
Yes, I love traditional watches. Guilty as charged. But even if I didn’t, I’d still think smartwatches are one of the dumbest tech trends out there.
Sitting here staring at this screen trying to decide whether I should cancel the redirect on my #fosstodon account...
Upped the distance on my runs today from 2.5km to 3.25km. Did it in 19:05, which would equate to a 29 min 5km. Happy with that.
Although temping, I'm not gonna go further than that for a few more weeks. 🏃🏼♂️💨

A New Lick of Paint
So I've been playing around with a new design for this site for a couple of weeks now, and it's finally to the point where I think it's good to go live.
My Sony buds have finally bit the dust after repairing them last year.
I took the Pixel Bud A's out of the cupboard that I got free with my 9a. Garbage. No ANC and v.poor sound quality.
Looks like I'm on the hunt for a new pair of buds. 🙁
The Singularity Trap
Another great sci-fi book form Dennis E Taylor. Really enjoyed this one.
I really need to cut the grass, but it's too damned hot. 🥵
So I've gone down this giant rabbit hole of redesigning my site the last couple of weeks and I think I have an idea of what the next version of this site is gonna look like...
I know some people find this stuff boring, but I'm having a blast.
...and now I'm playing around with similar designs to this site circa 2020, and I have to say, I really like it. 😵💫
Just been for my 3rd run of the week and managed to knock another 35 seconds off my time. 🏃🏼♂️💨

I've just been tweaking the design history page and realised that I've had the current design (pretty much) for 3 years now. No wonder I'm getting itchy feet.
I am so tempted to re-design my site to something like this. Someone please step in and tell me it's a bad idea. 😂
We've been having some groundwork done to flatten a section at the top of the garden. Living in the Welsh hills means no flat land.
44 tonnes of soil later, we have a flat space. Just need to seed it with grass now...
I hope nothing comes the other way. 🫣
Long day in the office resulted in me feeling tired and lethargic. Went for a run, the endorphins started pumping and I knocked 45 seconds off my time. Feel great now! 🏃♂️💨

Never smoked, never vaped. Turns out they're both pretty bloody bad for you. Who knew. 🤦🏼♂️

Out With Old Tech, In With the New
Swapped my MacBook for a Framework 13, iPhone for Pixel, left Fosstodon, joined Micro.blog, and canned Kagi & YouTube. Less noise, more life. Here's how it's going...
My mum wanted to go see 28 Years Later, so I took her tonight.
Absolute dog shit. Don’t waste your time. Ralph Fiennes was about the only good thing in it.
My Morning Walk
This post started life as a simple photo of a bridge for the Micro.blog photo challenge, but I ended up documenting the whole walk. Because, why not. 🤷🏻♂️
Just been for my first run in quite some time. RIP my knees tomorrow...
