So who's up for a global recession then?
Anyone?
No?
Thinking about my next laptop and #Apple has been giving me the ick lately with some of what they're doing.
Anyway, politics of it all aside, I'm thinking about a #Framework 13. Very expensive, but will hopefully last a lot longer.
Anyone have one? What do you think of it?
Roadkill
Another great book from Dennnis E. Taylor. This time about an alien that's killed in a road traffic accident.
I heard this great saying today...
"Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad."
My wife recently got a rooster to help look after her flock, and it's a fucking beast!
For reference, the one behind is a fully grown, normal size hen.
I swear it's a goose in disguise! 🪿
Youngest: Daaaaaaaaad, how was the earth made?
Me: [explains the Big Bang theory]
Him: So it made EVERYTHING??
Me: Yup
Him: Even that rock?
Me: Everything
Him: Even that tree?
Me: Everything
Him: Even those ponies?
Me: Everything
Him: Even my socks?
Me: EVERYTHING!
Him: Even the farts that come out my bum?
Me: 🤦🏼♂️
Walked up to my youngest, put my wrist on his head and said.
"Don't move, you're under a wrist."
I am fucking hilarious. 😂😂
Improving My Journal
Back in August I created a very simple Journal for my own use. I've been updating it lately and I think it's a lot better now.
I really wanna play around with @mauricerenck@mastodon.online Komments and IndieConnector plugins, but I really don't know if I want to open that can of worms again.
The Wild Robot Escapes
The second book in The Wild Robot series. Another wholesome book that my kids really enjoyed.
Just read @thewk post on building his Polar Explorer II replica. Such a great post, and considering it’s pretty much exactly the same as my Seiko SBSC009, but for 1/3 of the price - and he got to build it - I’m a little jealous. 😂

How to Work Better
I was out with my family in Chester recently and I saw a quote on the side of a building explaining how to work better. I thought it was very well put, so I wanted to share it.
New Motorbike & Broken Phone Drama
I recently bought a new motorbike and managed to drop my phone while riding it. Oh joy.
Spring is definitely in the air. Today might be a good day for the first grass cut of the year...
I got my phone back today, really quick turnaround, which is impressive. But they only repaired stuff that's broken, not anything cosmetic. So the bezel still has a shit load of chunks and scratches out of the aluminium.
Annoying...
I don't know how anyone uses an #iPhone without a case. They're almost impossible to grip without one!
Are these things made of Teflon??
Riding to work this morning and my iPhone fell out of its carrier, then a fucking van ran over it! It's a bit damaged...
This is how utterly shit #AppleIntelligence is...I received an email yesterday in response to my "iOS Mail Is Shite" post and the email started with "Kev - I cannot agree with you more."
But Apple "Intelligence" summarised the email as "Disagrees with Kev; uses Mutt for blog email."
What an utter shit show.
And the new steed is home!
How did this petulant fucking moron get voted in??
