I should start taking more photographs and posting them. I keep forgetting that my phone is a camera. Duh.

I should keep a log of changes and experiments when I am doing them on this blog. Maybe that’s what the wiki is for.

Zoinks! A refurbished iPhone X is still $769. That’s a heck of a lot of money for a refurbished phone.

Signed up for IntenseDebate which lets you sign in with your Wordpress.com ID and login which is nice.

I’m not going to try and edit Micro.blog themes and place the JS code in them tonight because if I screw my site up I’ll get all worked up and not sleep.

Indiebookclub works great with Micro.blog. You probably knew that but it’s the first time I’ve used it.
