Week 2024-12

This week was hectic. I mainly worked from home, going to the office only on Friday. My Feedbin was overflowing with unread articles, but an unexpected visit to the hospital on Saturday — almost eight hours in the waiting room — took care of that. The same for most of the article … | Continue reading

Week 2024-11

I found a great printer on Saturday and bought. It’s an Epson EcoTank, which operates using ink tanks instead of traditional ink cartridges. Although the printer is pricier than standard inkjet printers, it is completely worth the investment. Ah, and it has fax… There’s a new TV … | Continue reading

Apple released its Journal app just a couple of weeks before my subscription to Day One was set to expire. Opting not to renew it, I decided to give Apple’s Journal a try, thinking it might meet my needs. And perhaps it does, but its limitation to being only an iPhone app makes i … | Continue reading

Week 2024-10

My printer died a few weeks ago, but I needed to double-check to be certain. Now it’s confirmed: it has become a useless piece of hardware. Although the printer itself is actually fully functional, it requires both color and black ink cartridges to operate, which Canon has discon … | Continue reading
