Now its evening. Now what? => https://onyxboox.com/boox_tabultrac Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C The next tech thing I'm drooling over. > Thanks to the large screen, the ability to display colors and the ability to make handwritten notes, the model will be an excellent choice for those who plan to combine reading books and working with documents with color images. Tab Ultra C supports operation with a genuine magnetic keyboard case, which can be additionally purchased and used to protect the reader during transportation and storage. I actually would love a way to combine book taking notes with eink, and also doing gemini stuff on an eink computer to reduce eye strain. That said its hard to justify the price right now. I have a working laptop and my eyes aren't hurting right now. But maybe in 5 to 10 years I'll get the similar product... ###πŸ“– => https://translunartravelerslounge.com/2019/08/15/wings-fogg/ Wings, by Vanessa Fogg I love Vanessa Fogg's work. ###✍ => https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/30-day-writing-challenge/ 30 Day Writing Challenge 8) Share something I struggle with.

Honestly, bathrooms. I wish clean and well maintained toilets were all around and usable for the general public. And not just stuff in corporate third places but just public restrooms for the sake of the common good. Shoot, even have mini naprooms. More benches. Stuff to help out a variety of people actually enjoy or be able to go out. Other things - better sidewalks, better public transit, offline maps/guides of third spaces... ###πŸ”— => https://strongwomenstrangeworlds.weebly.com/ Strong Womenβ€’Strange Worlds > Our mission is to elevate the voices of women and other underrepresented gender identity authors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror; to highlight stories featuring strong female and non-binary characters; and to share these stories with readers of all ages. #πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒ ###8/24/23 * Looking into mp3 players, my phone audiojack is broken. Will keep it for the phone stuff. But in the future going forward will probably downgrade if I can do calendar/alarm stuff on a dumbphone. Looking at the Sandisk Sport Clip Plus. Its at Best Buy and the other brand there is the Walkman which is $1000 or more depending on the model. 😱 I would be doing podcasts more than music so I don't need a top tier FLAC player. ###✍ => https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/30-day-writing-challenge/ 30 Day Writing Challenge 11) Something I always think 'what if', about. What if I wasn't sick and could do all the shit I want to do, would I be happy or still yearning for more? #πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒπŸ„πŸŒ±πŸΈπŸŒ ###8/25/23 * 🌧 Rainy and gray out there.

I will keep my phone for now, but will downgrade to a dumbphone when its borked. The lightphone is tempting... * Need to download some music and podcasts to fill up the mp3 player. * Found gPodder and am using it to download podcasts. => https://gpodder.github.io/ gPodder Living my cottage core fantasy through... => gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/s/farming s/Farming ###✍ => https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/30-day-writing-challenge/ 30 Day Writing Challenge 13) What am I excited about?
